Foundations launches with a party curated in collaboration with Oroko Radio. The international line-up brings together Black artists known for pushing the boundaries of club music. At the forefront of experimental electronic sound, Bobby Beethoven has redefined the dancefloor by dismantling the traditional structure of DJ sets. His practice explores club culture as a space of both liberation and control. La Diouck represents a new generation of Franco-African artists who blend cultural heritage with contemporary influences. Having recently released his debut album Grace Jokes on PAN Records, his music merges experimental club sounds with ethereal vocals in Wolof, French, and English. Always chasing new sounds, Paris-based label head Bamao Yendé is a DJ and producer who fuses baile funk, techno, breaks, and logobi into high-energy sets with an R’n’B touch. Oroko alumna Moneyama, a DJ and Berlin club scene staple, blends multiple genres while drawing from her Ghanaian heritage. LIL RISK is a multi-hyphenate DJ and party organizer known for her unexpected combinations of techno, experimental sounds, hard dance, and a wide range of global club music.

As part of Foundations, CEL invites LYZZA to perform her LP SUBSTATE. Building four sound worlds of resistance out of LYZZA’s own experiences of broken systems, the project aims to subvert the conditions of the various hostile environments the artist has navigated. LYZZA paints vivid portraits of racial profiling within both creative and public spheres, music industry politics and professional disregard for emotional labor, each told with urgency and honesty. Finding strength in direct address, she works through her frustrations by violently rejecting them, channeling what she describes as an intense “yearning for subversion.” SUBSTATE merges raw electricity, polished pop and everything from baile funk, to Baltimore club, to UK drill into a stroboscopic production designed to demolish preconceptions.
