South African performance artist, producer and songwriter Angel-Ho defies the boundaries of genre convention. First emerging with a unique collage of ballroom, R&B and bass music for Rabit’s Halcyon Veil, the NON Worldwide co-founder has since honed her own, unique brand of fiercely-political, experimental dance music. Snapped up by Hyperdub for her ‘debut proper’, the Cape Town-based artist’s latest effort, ‘Death Becomes Her’ showcases her talents as a performer, producer and lyricist as well as a collaborator. Rapping and singing to productions by the likes of GAIKA and Nguzunguzu’s Asmara Maroof, the album explores emancipation and trans identity, and is intended as a means of “killing the old self, and expressing a poetic way of assuming a new identity”.
