Kilele '26 brings Pwani Tapes Residency, a co-creation project between @santuri_east_africa and @pwanitapes "Amplifying and Remixing Kenyan Coastal Music Heritage." . Bringing together coastal musical lineages and contemporary dancefloor energy, this performance unites Hamisi “Mrezi”, a mtamwi musician from Silaloni, Kwale County whose practice spans marimba, handmade percussion, and embodied rhythm; Mazera, a mwanzele singer from Tsunza and a longstanding regional icon whose voice carries decades of lived coastal history; and Nairobi-based producer and DJ Hotkeys @_hotkeys (Horace on the Keys), whose groove-driven blends of African traditional sound, house, and dance music keep the floor moving. . The performance follows a residency in collaboration with Pwani Tapes, funded by @braidfund , and takes place on 27 Friday at the Zahabu Showcase. .

We're looking forward to welcoming our producer to the Pwani Tapes x Kilele Residency next month! Hotkeys, an abbreviation for “Horace on the Keys”, is a self-taught music producer and DJ based in Nairobi, Kenya. After acquiring production skills he has focused on cultivating his craft over the last 7 years, three of which he has also been DJing. Hotkeys fancies a diverse array of genres from more traditional African music to dance music, hip-hop and house. His most recent project is Waang’, an African dance music EP that is lending itself to choreographed moves, as showcased during his sets at well-known music joints such as Zahabu and The Mist. Hotkeys’ unique style of blending groovy tunes underlines his agenda: to keep the dance floor culture going. The residency is part of the project "Amplifying and Remixing Kenyan Coastal Music Heritage" which is supported by the @braidfund .
