First Light's Third Space #14 - Nyokabi Kariũki & Damsel Elysium

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

This episode features field recordings and music curated and pieced together by artists Nyokabi Kariũki and Damsel Elysium.

In the first half of the show, prolific sound artist and multi-instrumentalist Nyokabi Kariũki weaves a varied selection of music from Kenyan artists in with recordings she’s captured across the country.

In the second, Damsel Elysium - whose singular creative practice has been turning heads in experimental music scenes and high fashion circles alike - takes us on a tour of London’s bustling streets and creative boundary-pushers.
