December 2024, Friday 6th: London-based Zambian/Scottish DJ & producer KILIMANJARO shares his brand new single, “The Seeker” (Capital/EMI).
Built around the afro-centric percussive energy KILIMANJARO is known for, “The Seeker” overflows with dark, atmospheric synth patterns interspersed with his hypnotic vocals. “The Seeker” follows his collaboration “No Bad Vibes” with Jazzy, which is growing in popularity having just broken into theTop 10 of Apple Music’s dance chart and is making an impact across Spotify, Apple Music and Shazam. Prior to this KILIMANJARO dropped his two-track project with Melé called YORUBA RIDDIM EP this summer, which gained support from peers such as Bonobo and Desiree.
Having a long and storied background in music, KILIMANJARO’s roots can be found playing in bands across Scotland and later pivoting to performing DJ sets within the country’s renowned clubbing landscape. After years DJing the Scottish circuit in Glasgow and Edinburgh, KILIMANJARO moved down to London to establish himself and find a footing in a city that’s been leading the way in electronic music for decades. These moments were pivotal for the DJ/producer as he crafted and built his sound. KILIMANJARO then cultivated a loyal following as his name began to resonate and in 2021, he launched KILIMANJARO MUSIC at La Cheetah in Glasgow, which focused on championing black, POC, female and other marginalised artists across the UK, something he continues to do to this day.
