Nazar is releasing a new album through Hyperdub, titled Demilitarize.
Coming five years on from the Angolan kuduro producer’s debut album for the label, Guerilla, the 10-track record was produced after he recovered from a lengthy bout of illness brought about by COVID-19 combining with latent tuberculosis that he’d lived with for a number of years.
In a statement, Nazar said: “With the album being introspective, I didn’t seek to capture sounds from real places to enhance its universe like on Guerilla. I wanted to make it almost metaphysical like creating sci-fi, with classic cyberpunk anime Ghost In The Shell being a core inspiration.”
Listen to lead track ‘Anticipate’ below.
Hyperdub will release Demilitarize on April 25, 2025.
