ANTONY MBURU
Antony Mburu is making a name for himself with his playful and curious approach to music. He is constantly searching for hidden gems – whether they are old house and techno treasures from Chicago and Detroit, rave classics, or newer Afro genres like gqom and amapiano. With a genuine passion for music and a love for the unexpected, his sets always deliver something fresh, energetic, and personal.

BAFANA NHLAPO, SOLO DIARRA & SANKUNG JOBARTEH
Bafana Nhlapo, Solo Diarra, and Sankung Jobarteh are among the finest African musicians in Norway, but they represent different musical traditions. Percussionist and singer Bafana Nhlapo comes from Soweto in South Africa and has made a name for himself with his unique falsetto voice and unconventional combination of instruments. Solo Diarra comes from a griot family in West Africa and both sings and plays djembe, kora, ngoni, balafon, and guitar. On stage this evening, they also perform together with the Gambian guitar virtuoso Sankung Jobarteh and the outstanding musicians Yacouba Kona, Issouf Dembele, and Bara Coulibaly from Burkina Faso.

Welcome to and on the Saturday 16th of August.

Mina & Bryte first met in Accra, Ghana in 2017, and instantly connected over their shared love of club music. Since then they have released several singles, and their debut joint EP “Abeka Bugatti” in 2021.

The duo regularly perform internationally at festivals including Glastonbury, Primavera and Nyege Nyege Festival, and at headline shows in London at the Jazz Cafe and Village Underground. Their music has been supported by key tastemakers such as Lauren Laverne, Ben UFO, Tom Ravenscroft and Branko.

Together they have an infectious energy, with a sound that fuses together styles from the UK, Ghana and around the world. Bryte’s multilingual lyrics skip playfully over Mina’s upbeat and distinctive production style, demonstrating how two artists from very different backgrounds can come together to create “exuberant, passionate, forward-thinking club music that slips between two continents.” [Clash Magazine)

Welcome to on the 15th of August.

Known as the “Gqom King”, DJ Lag is a pioneering South African producer and DJ celebrated for shaping and globalizing the sound of gqom: The raw, percussive subgenre of house music that emerged from the coastal city of Durban.

After several EP’s for and , DJ Lag released his debut album on in 2022. «Meeting with the King», was a critically acclaimed body of work that ushered in “gqom 2.0".

With a career defined by innovation, collaboration, and relentless touring, he remains a driving force behind the evolution of gqom and its fusion with new sounds. DJ Lags recent track “Woza” — featuring and — represents a bold step into the emerging world of 3-step, a genre-defying sound that sits between gqom, amapiano, and afro-tech.

is back behind the decks at MelaKlubb .

For over a decade, Endre 3000 has been pushing African electronic club music in Oslo, and in recent years he has also DJed in cities such as Durban, Kampala, and Nairobi. Gqom is almost given in Endre 3000’s DJ sets, but the Durban genre is usually only part of a grander story that also talks about 3-step, ‘piano, UK funky, kuduro and experimental East African sounds. So expect an edgy, funky, and dark atmosphere before the “Gqom King” DJ Lag takes over the DJ booth at Kafé Hærverk.

Introducing to on the 15th of August.

Ornella is shaped by Oslo’s club scene and the perspective from the dance floor. She plays on how genres such as house, electro, breaks, drum & bass and techno meet in music history. The sets have a clear direction, but allow for twists and open lines. With a relaxed but energetic approach to genre mixing, she creates a flow that engages us to move.

We’re talking about jUnK MusiC, ThRaSh aRT and the internal purge through collaborative missions in the name of resistance. We’d like to welcome you to Urtegata Sykkel- og Kulturverksted today, on the 21st of June, 15-16 pm – just run – if you’re around the corner.

It’s FREE admittance to the performance and its the the result of the immensive work of our artists in residence this week.

We’re blending sonic movements, field recordings and mechanical engineering to create instruments out of bicycles, costumes out of thrash as well as scoby material. This is more of an experiment, than anything else, that is becoming a bigger production in 2025. The idea comes from and is developed in collaboration with and , the founder of in Kinshasa, as well as being a member of the Kongo Astronauts.

KinAct simply transforms scrap – which Western countries recklessly dump in the country – into art.

Extension cords, empty Coca Cola cans, beaten up radios, worn out sandals, and cigarette waste are among the ingredients. The artists breathe life into these fantastic costumes – and today – they’ll breathe life into other forms as well…
