from Alternate African Reality – Electronic, electroacoustic and experimental music from Africa and the diaspora, released January 29, 2020
[MONRHEA] + Ejuku - 122.2.22.22 (Kenya-Uganda)

Coming from an intrinsic desire to be different, [MONRHEA] found herself lured to the experimental underground music scene in Kenya. The self-taught producer and DJ came to overstand music from her own perspective, with the affinity for heavy bass-driven genres referenced by her name Wanjiru which means from the dark/black.
She is also experimenting with the live coding software Sonic Pi.

Ejuku
My birth given names are Ejuku Mark. But you can call me Ejuku. Which is also my stage name.
The meaning of my name in Iteso (my native language) is “to push”, but I choose not to be limited by one
simple meaning. Citizen of the world, lover of love, behaviour, dance and music (my second voice), the uncontrollable and disorganized sounds in my head have always given me itchy fingers, one of those that will only seize when I scratch on LUCY, my African talking drum only found in Uganda, East Africa.
I also have itchy feet. I know... it’s a lot of itches sometimes. The point is : my itchy feet won’t allow me to stay in one place for long. Over time and travels, through my itchy fingers and feet, I found myself experiencing different sounds that basically top on my own yearning to learn and experience different cultures with the ultimate goal of understanding the power the drum has in every corner of the world as I whistle for the musical wind that blows through me with only love for a smile or a shake. The saying goes I beat things for a living LUCY.

Ejuku’s creed.
I come from Africa but being an African and the so called African music you think I play is a box that I choose not to subscribe to. You know why? Because I have my own box. An ever-changing box. It’s called @EJUKBOX. Yes, my culture was instilled in me and over time as change would have it I am a beacon of my own everyday changing environment and, as such, I foster my own beliefs and social norms that best fit my own moral consciousness. Is to say : beliefs are police of the mind that can cripple one’s mental health and as formal and true advocate of the well mind, I prior on making beliefs systems
that can adapt to the believer’s choice.
