DJ Nigga Fox will release a new 12″ on Príncipe, titled Música da Terra, next month.

DJ Nigga Fox is one of electronic music’s more enigmatic artists and a linchpin of a thriving Afro-Portuguese music scene with its home in Lisbon, Portugal. Born Rogério Brandão Luís in Luanda, Angola in the early ‘90s, he fled to Portugal with his family when he was three years old to escape the horrific civil war. Around 2007, his sibling showed him Fruity Loops, the chosen creative platform behind all Príncipe-affiliated artists due to its simplicity, and he began making his own beats in his bedroom.

Outside of a solitary 12” on Warp Records, all of Nigga Fox’ solo EPs have come through Príncipe, the similarly mysterious entity to which he signed in 2013 after DJ Marfox introduced his music to the label. You can read more about him and his work in his EDMjunkies podcast here.

Música da Terra comprises four tracks, including a collaboration with DJ Firmeza. “Sanzaleiro,” we’re told, is “a game of contrast, dissonance, driving force, and constant pushing of limits.”

Artwork, as usual, comes from Márcio Matos.

DJ Nigga Fox also contributed to the 18th edition of EDMjunkies+, exploring Portugal’s thriving dance scene with tracks and content alongside RS Produções, BLEID, and Serpente.
