Karen Nyame KG

If you want to immerse yourself in the many subtleties of upfront, African-rooted dance music, let Karen Nyame KG be your guide. The London-based artist has built up a formidable reputation for playing the best of South African house, amapiano and Jersey club, but in truth her decades-deep experience reaches across the streams to arrive at an expression that is all her own. Velvet-smooth production abounds in her own exclusives and the tracks she reaches for, all smouldering chords and warm sub bass. KG's style is dripping in soul and fortified with light-footed rhythms that prove you can be heavy without being hard.
