Using “arbitrary sound” accompanied by conceptual drag, he is
interested in stirring up dialogues about classism, identity, sexuality
and gender. “She, Angel-Ho, is a concept, a critique of socio-political
issues within South Africa,” Angelo says in an interview leading up to a
performance at the Design Indaba Party
on 26 February. Incorporating elements of NY ballroom bass, bubblegum
bass, industrial bass, electronic synths and minimal house;
Angel-Ho has
developed her very own sound dubbed “Angelwave”. In addition to her
(very) recent collab with Dope Saint Jude on the track ‘Keep In Touch‘,
Angel-Ho’s solo releases include: ‘Runnin’ With Knives’ which marked
her debut 5 months ago, the atmospheric ‘Night Repair’.
NON Records is the far-reaching label arm of the sovereign state of NON, a

citizens reside in villages, towns, and cities across the globe. Founded
by Angelo Valerio (Angel-Ho), a club producer in South Africa’s Cape
Town, Chino Amobi, an experimental collagist and vocalist in the USA,
and Melika Ngombe Kolongo (Nkisi), a synthesist of new hardcore sounds
in London, NON cuts across genre and geography to unite politically and
sonically forward-thinking musicians in an ongoing exploration of
Pan-African identity in the twenty-first century.
