Listen to an ambient-heavy new mix from Kelela

Kelela has contributed a mix for the Warp takeover of NTS that celebrates the record label’s 30th anniversary.

Working with her long-time collaborator Asmara, Kelela has released an hour-long mix that sees her singing over tracks by a range of artists including Aphex Twin, Oneohtrix Point Never, Susuma Yokota and Visible Cloaks.

Entitled ‘Aquaphoria’, this mix is characteristically ethereal and experimental for Kelela, pushing boundaries at every turn.

Kelela has commented on the mix, saying, “Aquaphoria is both an exploratory, healing conversation with myself and a very political, niche-filling project that has been expansive and magical to create.

“I’ve always used my voice to dismantle, deconstruct and traverse genre, but this time instead of a turn up, it’s for solitude, intimacy and quiet time. This one is for my people to feel whole when they are alone.”
