Strut introduces a pioneering compilation, A Dancefloor in Ndola, curated by revered East African DJ Kampire. This release marks an evolution in Strut’s approach to compilations, showcasing emerging DJ talent from across the world and embracing an innovative approach to musical discovery from the next wave of selectors.

Forging her reputation through memorable sets for the Nyege Nyege Festival in Uganda, Kampire now tours worldwide and is celebrated for her brilliantly curated sets spanning the full range of African music styles from the ’70s and ’80s to the present day.

Although born in Kenya to Ugandan parents, Kampire spent her formative years in Ndola, Zambia. A Dancefloor in Ndola is inspired by artists and songs that formed part of her soundtrack during that time. “It is important for me to continually reference Africa’s own musical history,” she explains. “At 17, I didn’t pick up on my Dad’s music but now I love and collect those records. I’m constantly referencing them in my music sets today. I love that feeling of shared nostalgia where people recognize a song they haven’t heard in a long time. It is a touchstone for me when I’m playing.”

The compilation flows through different East African and South African genres from Congolese rumba and soukous to 1980s township bubblegum and the rich guitar-led sounds of Zambian kalindula. “There are styles of music on the compilation which are often considered unsophisticated from rural areas. I and other contemporary African artists and DJs draw inspiration from them; it is part of what makes us ourselves.” Kampire also shines the spotlight on many incredible women in African music from the ’80s, including Congolese legends like Pembey Sheiro and Princesse Mansia M’Bila to V-Mash and Di Groovy Girls from South Africa.

A Dancefloor in Ndola is released on 2LP and features an exclusive new edit by Kampire alongside personal liner notes tracing her links to the music. Cover artwork montage is by Canon Rumanzi and vinyl restoration/mastering by The Carvery.
