Vv&Out

Our current cover stars are leaders of the UK’s afro house movement, co-running the popular Motherland party that is at the epicentre of the scene. Their DJ sets are masterclasses in pulsating rhythms and uplifting energy, marking them out as undoubtedly two of the best DJs in the country. Sef also runs the Til-Two parties and recently took a role overseeing Defected’s afro-centric label Sondela, and Kitty has joined SheSaidSo as a consultant.

A successful partnership requires several key building blocks to really make it work; trust, balance, humility, kindness, respect and love. When you see our cover stars Kitty Amor and Sef Kombo interacting with one another it’s clear that all of these essential elements are present in their friendship, with the overarching power of music cultivating harmony at the root of it all.

Kitty and Sef are two of the key protagonists in London’s afro house scene; which has been flourishing on the underground despite being wilfully neglected by the electronic music media. While South Africa’s vibrant scene is celebrated worldwide, including here in the capital, the city’s own homegrown scene had virtually no attention from the press over the past decade - until very recently.
