AKA HEX is a collaboration between Slikback and Aïsha Devi.

Devi has always used her music to look outward, beyond the confines of club music and the avant garde towards a space that’s less predictable and far more mysterious. She was born in Switzerland with Nepali Indigenous heritage, and her transversal identity has helped her navigate the underground as not just a producer and vocalist, but as a curator.

Born and raised in Nairobi, Slikback is one of the world’s most adventurous producers, taking elements from the wide spectrum of club, noise, ambient and rap musics and forming them into a psychedelic lattice of high intensity sounds and emotions.

Together, they synthesize their artistry as AKA HEX, welding kinetic, bass-heavy rhythms to zig-zagging, sci-fi tinged soundscapes and mutant vocals. It’s Devi’s most dancefloor-focused material in years, and Slikback’s most alien to date, bridging the chasm between avant-pop, experimental club and hallucinogenic ambience.
