Otim Alpha and producer Leo Palayeng took the traditional Larakaraka wedding music of the Acholi people of Northern Uganda and South Sudan and remade it with synths and electronic drum-kit beats. The result was a newer hyper-frenetic electronic version known as Acholitronix. Since then his pioneering concepts have inspired an exhilarating micro scene, synthesizing electronic sounds and traditional instrumentation into fast-paced, polyrhythmic genre primed for dancefloor madness! Step into the dance lodge of Urkult and let yourself be swept away in a trance-like dream state. Join for a meeting that spans a long time axis of music creation and expression, like a beautiful wedding between a beginning and an end, come and celebrate this love story!
