$12-$15 // 21+KAMPIRE“a scene-leading DJ who can connect the dots between the past, present and future of African club music.” - Resident AdvisorAmong East Africa's most exciting DJs and a core member of Kampala's Nyege Nyege collective, Kampire’s vibrant bass-heavy sets have transported her to bring the best of Ugandan party culture to clubs &amp; festivals across the world. One of Mixmag's picks for Top Ten Breakthrough DJs of 2018, Kampire's set on Boiler Room broadcast from Nyege Nyege festival was a legitimate ‘internet moment’, with thousands of shares on Facebook leading to serious FOMO from electronic music fans watching online. Then in the midst of a global pandemic, Kampire’s Nyege Nyege 2020 opening ceremony DJ set stood out from the deluge of home DJ broadcasts, filmed on an island in the Nile for the digital edition of the festival, broadcast by Resident Advisor.In 2021, Kampire’s genre-hopping ‘No Visa’ DJ Mix saw her chosen among May’s best mixes in Pitchfork, and her exhilarating mix for the Black Artist Database celebrated the “breadth of global Blackness” and featured as Resident Advisor’s Mix of the Day. Her monthly NTS radio residency has seen Kampire shine a light on other East African DJs &amp; artists, including Authentically Plastic, NSASI &amp; EchoE. In October 2021 Kampire joined BBC Radio 1’s as one of their esteemed ‘Residency’ host DJs, giving her an even bigger platform for showcasing the best new music from across the diaspora.Kampire is a co-founder of the art installation “Salooni” which explores black hair as a science, culture, and art, the experiential project has traveled to La Ba Arts Festival, Uganda, Chale Wote Street Art Festival, Ghana, East African Soul Train (E.A.S.T) residency, Kenya, Africa Utopia, London, Kigali, Rwanda, Women's day, Burkina Faso and N'GOLÁ Biennial, São Tomé e Príncipe
