Authentically Plastic

free form femme fuckery

As a DJ, Producer & Artist from Kampala, Uganda, Authentically Plastic’s sound is necessarily political. Between 2018-2023, they ran a roving, riotous, club night called ANTI-MASS; which opened up space for femme & queer artists in Uganda’s increasingly repressive social climate.

Risk-taking in this political environment has shaped Authentically Plastic’s sound, which has an accelerated, densely layered, improvisational feel. Their fiery debut album, Raw Space, was released in September 2022, receiving critical acclaim for its fresh urgency and prismatic unpredictability.

Authentically Plastic’s sets, at once dark & playful, harbour this same propulsive energy, using Gqom, Noise & Techno as a base for exploring other unknown sounds. Their music is influenced by Northern Ugandan (acholi electronic) rhythms, early acid/industrial experiments, and Afro-futurism.
