Dream State: Mia Koden (UK), Pugilist, Rick Howe & Lori on Heartical HiFi

Dream State is the new party series collaboration between Modern Hypnosis & Upstairs//Downstairs. Dream State #1 We are proud to present one of our favourite artists to emerge from UK's Sound System and Club music scene, Mia Koden on Naarm's original heavyweight sound system Heartical HiFi. Mia Koden aka Sancha Ndeko is a South London-based South Sudanese and British music producer and DJ. Initially growing up in Ghana and Nigeria soundtracked by her parents' lively stash of music from across the African continent and beyond, her formative years back in the UK had frequent soundsystem pilgrimages to spaces where roots reggae, drum & bass and dubstep could be heard. At some point during her London university days, two rusty Technics 1210’s arrived. Ndeko has since been creating and championing underground electronic music whilst building an arsenal of records traversing many sonic corners of the world. Joined by Naarm's finest multi-genre bass music producer, Pugilist. Having over 50 x
