Mixmoe, the Manchester DJ whose mission is to promote African music in the North, whether through his FOMO Brunch events (previous line-ups have included BBC Radio 1Xtra's Remi Burg and RECESS resident Super Midz) or as Afro-R&B star Gabzy's official DJ. Mixrmoe earned his stripes on the infamous Midlands university party circuit, a rite of passage for many London DJs due to the high-pressure nature of multi-genre, condensed sets paired with demanding audiences. A Mixrmoe set is an experience in itself - he spins everything from Afro-house to Afrobeats in a way that welcomes and pleases both newcomers and seasoned vets alike.

Whatever he's doing is working; he opened for this issue's South African cover stars Major League Djz at the tail-end of 2022, months after playing at the inaugural DLT Malta festival, and he's dipping his toes back into production, so keep your ears open for an amapiano-infused summer anthem.
