Panorama Bar welcomes four producers whose revved-up dance ingenuities synthesize disparate musical cultures.

The night will be kicked off by the beat weaving of young producer and Príncipe Discos newcomer Nidia Minaj, whose style fuses kuduro, tarraxinha, batida, and Afro-house. Non Records affiliate Melika Ngombe Kolongo, or nkisi, plays everything from gabber to doomcore to Central- and West African club tracks. She is the co-founder of NON Records, a collective of artists from the African diaspora whose releases are oriented towards loosening gridlocked hegemonies. Third on the bill is Gary, Indiana’s footwork idol Jlin. It took no more than the release of a single (“Erotic Heat”) on Planet Mu’s 2011 footwork compilation Bangs and Works Vol.2, a couple of tracks for Rick Owens’ F/W 2014 runway show, and the 2015 debut LP Dark Energy, which rose to the apex of every notable ‘best of 2015’ chart, to establish her as a glowing standout in a primarily male-dominated scene. While her monolithic sonic structures and rugged rhythms uphold the basic, and strict, skeleton of footwork, her approach makes use of breathing room we didn’t even know existed within the form. Last but not least is Berlin favourite and Janus resident KABLAM, who finding imaginative points of entry into contrasting genres.
