Producer / DJ · Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
STΛLIX
ስታሊክስ
Heavy-hitting, bass-rumbling, ancestral rhythm. Afro House from the heart of the Addis underground.
New release
Zeraf ዘራፍ
Afro House · Inspired by the Battle of Adwa
Built around Shilela, the Ethiopian battle cry. Zeraf layers hypnotic percussion and tribal energy over deep Afro House low end, so the spirit of Adwa lands on the dance floor.
