FAIZAL MOSTRIXX is an Ugandan storyteller, an afro-
futurist avant-garde music producer, DJ and remixer
wielding electrifying sets as well as an urban dancer and
choreographer. Mostrixx is a visionary grandmaster who
creates fearless and poetic narratives through multi-
sensory opuses.
Advancing bold tales of Africa through a counter-culture
prism, Mostrixx is one of electronica's hottest
ambassadors for a continent on the move. Entirely self-
taught, he forged his creative path from a very young age
watching his mother, a traditional local dancer, and
listening to the tapes his truck driver father would bring
back from his trips to Kenya.
Now driven by the urge to create his own musical hybrids,
he has pioneered ''tribal electronics'', an infectious fresh
new sound that weaves regional beats and moods with
electronic soundscapes and hypnotic indigenous urban
dances.
His latest album ''Mutations'' (May 2023) via Glitterbeat
Records, reflects his unique style, influenced by Ugandan
heritage, South and East African polyrhythms, modern
dancefloor styles like footwork, afro-house or amapiano,
Nile basin chants and pan-african field recordings.
2023 saw Mostrixx touring his project with more than 30 dates
in 12 different countries
