JOY with Ecko Bazz LIVE & DJ Marcelle

On September 4, JOY returns to the Sameheads dungeon, where bass gathers in the corners, rhythms buckle under their own weight, and the air grows thick enough to swallow.

From Kampala, Ecko Bazz tears through the pressure with his visceral Luganda delivery, shaped by grime, dancehall and industrial electronics. Amsterdam's DJ Marcelle follows the scattered signals across three turntables, folding dub, jungle, post-punk and experimental electronics into her singular ritual.

Ugetsu Monogatari opens the passage beneath the smoke of ceremonial fires, while Səriim waits at the opposite end to bury the remains of the morning in psychoactive quicksand.
