The end of Hip-Hop as we know it!
Join us for the launch of Turbo Summation – a conceptual Hip Hop album by artist and decolonial technologist Mushiva. Written around the themes of cyberpunk, African Accelerationism and urban subculture, Turbo Summation seeks to pronounce and make explicit the strong links between technology and hip-hop. More than just the appropriation of Japanese technology by descendants of African slaves, Hip Hop has been a primary site of interaction between black people and technology. Turbo Summation expands these notions by drawing on the expressive power of lyricism and invention as tools for speculative world-building – visions of alternate futures through the lens of the original electronic music fundament, the synthesizer. The sound of the synthesizer is orchestrated by Norwegian producer SkimmedMilk who counts the Roland Juno 106, Roland Jupiter 8, Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Yamaha DX7, Korg Arp Odyssey, and Lev Termens Theremin as inspirations.

The launch will feature a performance of a few songs from the 13-track album, a premiere of a music film (14 minutes), a manifesto, and a handmade wearable electronic Hip-Hop instrument prototype.

Pre-orders for the Vinyl can be placed at the event.

Tobechukwu Onwukeme will serve delicious Nigerian & Cameroonian dishes for a donation.
