Alongside a documentary exploring the daily lives and challenges of electronic musicians in Kenya.

Record label and print publication FLEE is launching its Extra Muros sub-label with the release of the first compilation from its Kenya creative residency programme of the same name – titled, Extra Muros – Kenya, this September.

In September 2019, FLEE united seven artists and producers – Slikback, KMRU, Karun, Jinku, Flexfab, Tite and Pier Alfeo – to the Elephant Studio in Nairobi, for three weeks of sonic experimentation, with the subsequent compilation collecting a selection of recordings from these sessions.

The creative residency marked the first instalment of FLEE’s annual series, which will bring together artists from across the world once a year, for a two-week long production and writing camp, with a compilation created from those sessions.

Alongside the compilation, FLEE is also releasing a documentary shining a light on the daily lives and challenges of electronic artists in Kenya.

Extra Muros – Kenya is the first release on the new Extra Muros sub-label, with further compilations to follow in 2021.
