⇢ Lifetime #23 | Orb, Nkisi

For Lifetime, Melika Ngombe Kolongo aka Nkisi - a leading figure in today's experimental music - composed Orb, a sonic and visual exploration of the cosmos.

Melika Ngombe Kolongo as known as Nkisi is a DJ, producer and founder of the collective NON Worldwide.

As co-founder of NON Records, a collective of African artists and of the diaspora, using sound as their primary media, to articulate the visible and invisible structures that create binaries in society, and in turn distribute power. Nkisi’s philosophy and music are marked by a certain punk sensibility, which is accompanied by a political opposition to conformity. Her DJ sets are inspired by a wide range of influences to create a frantic and jubilant dance experience. Her production deeply reflects these inspirations and offers a sound as implacable as evocative.
