BEATING HEART

Since launching on the shores of Lake Malawi in 2016, and now based in Nairobi, Kenya, Beating Heart has fused traditional African recordings with contemporary house, techno, soul and bass, working alongside the likes of Blinky Bill, Angelique Kidjo, Saronde, Floyd Lavine, Faith Mussa, Goldie, The Busy Twist, Faizal Mostrixx, Auntie Flo, Nabihah Iqbal, Ibibio Sound Machine, Muzi, Luke Vibert, Rudimental, Pablo Nouvelle, Clap! Clap! My Nu Leng and many more.

The unique Beating Heart sound stems from the label’s exclusive access to sample and remix the world’s largest collection of vintage African field recordings, housed at the International Library of African Music (ILAM) in Grahamstown, South Africa.

The label continues to smash showcases across the globe:
Rocking The Daisies (SA)
Kilifi NYE, Africa Nouveau (KE)
