"Live, full-throttle afro-club intensity from the world-winning Swiss/Kenyan combo, Flexfab & Ziller Bas. Fusing hip-hop with infectious global bass (gqom, amapiano and dembow) and Sweng flow (a melting pot of Swahili, English and Giriama) - they most definitely speak the universal language of ‘move your ass’."

-- FLEXFAB & ZILLER BAS --
Electronic/bass producer FlexFab and Kenyan rapper Ziller Bas storm onto the scene with their highly anticipated debut album “MUGOGO!”, out now!
Launched in 2020 under the MUGOGO! banner, FlexFab & Ziller Bas rapidly captured attention for their solid and singular mix of modern club African music, bass/electronic and rap. The prolific duo made waves with two successful Eps (“MUGOGO! part 1” & “MUGOGO! part 2”) and a documentary showcasing the recording of the album in Kilifi, Kenya.
The “MUGOGO!” album contains 22 tracks, a very rich album that highlights FlexFab’s bewitched-hybrid bass sound signature and genre-bending production style, while Ziller Bas raps in his very own dialect called “Sweng Flow”; a combination of English, Swahili and his native language the Kigiriama.
From the spiritual chants of “Nisamehe”, to the dark soundscapes of “TSAPI”, to the next level club banger “Haya Wee!”, to the African club anthem “MUGOGO!”, to the gimmicky “Sawa Sawa”,… “MUGOGO!” is an ambitious album that unifies different cultures and influences into the unique musical territory that FlexFab & Ziller Bas occupy.
