While West-African music is celebrating new milestones globally, the electronic music scene is still underrepresented. The Nyege Nyege festival in Uganda and its community have been a centerpoint for highlighting dance music and queer culture from East Africa. In this episode Kikelomo talks to Turkana, who’s part of the experimental Anti-Mass collective from Kumpala. She opens up about the danger of building safer spaces in a country where being queer is a crime and the troubles of getting working visas as African artists in Europe. Plus: Bandcamp being sold – again, grassroots music venues under threat, cable-free studio monitors, and the EU to ban generic environmental claims. The Week is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.Host: KikelomoWriters for this episode: Aaron Gonsher, Carlos Steurer and KikelomoEdit and sound design: Marc ÜbelLead Producer: Isabel WoopFollow Kikelomo.Follow Turkana.  Check out the recommended multimedia project “Union Black – Sounds Of A Nation”.Read more on the challenges African artists have to face when applying for visa.

Dance music from the Latin diaspora is making waves into the European scene – but who’s really profiting from the boom? This week OttO Kent talks to the Venezuelan writer and deputy editor of Crack Magazine Rachel Grace Almeida about the long-overdue attention that Latin American artists are getting, and why it’s problematic to lump all these artists and countries into one box. Plus: Bad Bunny speaking out against queer baiting accusations, Chioma Nnadi as the first black woman to lead British Vogue, Brian Eno calling out James Blake for using the asshole chord, and a new Spotify feature that sounds a lot like payola. The Week is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.Host: OttO Kent Writers for this episode: Aaron Gonsher, Carlos Steurer and Jacob SperberEdit and sound design: Marc ÜbelLead Producer: Isabel WoopFollow OttO Kent. Follow Rachel Grace Almeida. Listen to Rachel Grace Almeida’s radio show on NTS. Watch “Talking Robots Into Heaven – a conversation between James Blake and Brian Eno”. Watch the documentary “Future Sound Of Mzansi” (Part 1, 2, and 3). Watch “The Scare Tactics of Spoek Mathambo: at TEDxSoweto 2011.
