The power of dance music to distract us from our psychological wounds is well established. But plethor_x’s hard-hitting, heady creations are anything but escapist.

Instead, Italian sound designer Giovanni Isgrò and Jermay Michael Gabriel — an “Italian-Ethiopian-Eritrean trans-disciplinary artist and curator,” according to an online bio — engage critically with East Africa’s colonial history while simultaneously imagining a united and utopian future for a region deeply scarred by European exploitation. Neither do Isgrò and Gabriel, who are both currently based in Milan, shy away from their own ingrained Eurocentrism. Rather, according to a de facto mission statement for their debut EP — What U Mean, out now via OOH-sounds — they “conspire against [it], regurgitating it from within.”
