Kidepo

In what could be one of the years most emotive tracks, Kidepo (whose moniker pays homage to the Kidepo Valley in his native land of Uganda) takes us on a spiritual journey through his homeland.   His Reunion EP features soundbites of rainforest wildlife paired with mechanical, metallic-like drum samples and deep, lush synths.  Together, it's sets the stage for Kidepo to share bits from his life story in poetic fashion.   Kidepo on his debut project: "Your hometown is like your third parent. “Where are you from?” is usually question no. 2 in basic small-talk form, and most people have their answers locked and load — as they should. Places bury you, from the culture to the music, to the attitudes, it’s safe and warm down there." Listen to the full project here!
