My oontz people si we just tell them🤷🏽♂️
Oontz Etiquette 101
1. We go to the events because we like the music the rest ni myths.
2. Music is King!
3. We don’t steal from each other.
4. We take care of each other
5. We share water😉
6. We respect each other.
Add yours …
I am not saying people should not come out for events but she has a point.
To the new 🇰🇪oontz crowd,if you adopt the music/lifestyle please adopt the etiquette too!
Too many non-oontz community incidents at groove nowadays!
It’s driving diehards out!
Nairobi house djs,please normalise going to events to just party. It’s a good way to stay in touch with the ground. Otherwise you will keeping wondering why people sit down when you play yet they were screaming for the rookie before you.
?
House Music DJs in Nairobi, there are other subgenres besides Afro house🤦🏽♂️ Just how many times can we listen to Umenitosha & Imali! Great songs btw. When you stand out,you won’t have to beg for gigs. Rathod is brought in from MSA every month for Temple Nairobi cz he stands out!
Kenyan revellers! When you go out this weekend,please leave your YouTube playlist at home or just stay home.The DJ’s work is not to play anything you want to listen to.Look up the clubs you go to & keep an open mind.
The DJ was put there for a reason by someone who knows better!

scene is winning 🏆
It’s no longer “matechno”
Your “urban DJs” are now sneaking it into their sets and it’s not that typical 3am EDM set we were used to.
And fans know the difference between house & amapiano.
To those responsible 💐
To the people thinking it’s about gatekeeping or classism.
I would like to clarify it’s not. It’s about bad behaviours!
It’s about girls being touched inappropriately,homophobia, women being targeted by dudes who vibe them then steal from them, it’s about all the fights etc
I was just updating my press kit then I remembered I didn't show you pics of the biggest moment of my career so far. This was a major dream come true! Here's my

I feel you, there is one in my hood Membley,Ruiru who sells ripe bananas from a 2018 prado while in heels and make up. I see you agent bananas
So this past weekend
@SpotifyAfrica
Kenyan Division(formerly Spotify Kenya) had a
#SpotifyWrapped
event and they chose to invite just popular people.Where were the artists,label heads,producers etc
The culture of the same 10 content creators working with every brand is shallow!
So in 2018 when I started performing I played at Alchemist then a Karen comes yelling my music is shit!
That music was anjunadeep music & for like 1.5yrs I didn’t play or listen to it.
I hope she’s alive to see what’s about to happen…
Follow your instincts!!
2020 I made my debut on
#anjunaunlocked
with guest

Nairobi oontz djs,hii tabia ya kucheza afrohouse all night ilitoka wapi?
Cz I don’t remember anyone ever telling me what to play.
Kitambo it used to be 1 set by
@JackRoosterLive
then next could be some techno or tech house etc
Also where are the sunrise sets,opening sets etc??
Artists & DJs, I know we all want our social media pages to look well kept and shit but you can’t avoid posting artwork to like gig posters even for small events etc that is what pays you.
But when it’s a big gig now you wanna post all over🤦🏽♂️ work is work!
Find a way around it!
DJs! Set times are like respect,they’re earned not demanded.
Part of being a good dj is knowing how to entertain those few people when a show is starting. Also remember in the line up,someone has to open 🤷🏽♂️Usisumbue promoter cz of your ego. Kapish?
Filmed at the iconic
@SiriNairobi
the synergy between the pulsating rhythms and the organic allure of Riara ridge,Tigoni creates a unique fusion of sound and scenery, making this DJ set an unforgettable audio-visual experience.
Premieres 24th Dec

Most of the artists
reppin Kenya internationally
aren't big locally & the artists making waves locally
aren't known internationally. Why? As Kenyans we don’t Judge for ourselves, we wait to be told/see what’s trending. We also lack credible structures cz everything is a cartel.
🇰🇪See this video!
And yet our local supastars don’t see the need to work with electronic music producers!🤦🏽♂️
Haya!
Stay scrambling for diminishing booze sponsorships, going on tour to play in town halls & opening for West & South Africans.
Open your eyes! 🍰vs 🎂
Respectfully!
Most Kenyan artists be acting like that Visa free to South Africa is what was stopping them from being booked in SA.
Nah,the music is still substandard because y’all are busy dick-measuring and egos are greater than your catalogs.
Most of y’all are in showbiz not music industry

people, how do we deal with these people who refer to House Music as amapiano ?
I mean, Ignorance is no defence.
Does this👇🏼sound like
#amapiano
?
@MGM_Kenya_
you might need a press briefing soon…
#Nairobi
Someone just came at me with that “ I am here with my friends and we would like a hype moment but not with this amapiano” Sorry what! You left your houses going where cz it wasn’t supposed to be here!
Wewe and your friends can f off!
Research the places you go!
Plus, if you like the artwork, you’re in luck… This beautiful design by South African illustrator Yay Abe will feature on our limited-edition merchandise range that will be on sale at both the EP launch party, and both Open Air shows in March 🎨 [4/4]
DJs! When you’re booked for an event,part of your work is to market the event no matter how big/small the event is. Good DJs are many but you were picked because the promoter believed in you.The least you can do is secure their investment so they survive to book you again.
