Another Award-winning International DJ Coming to Kenya

Looks like this is the year when Kenyans get back on the international entertainment circuit. Over the years international artistes have bypassed Kenya and gone to perform in Uganda and Tanzania.

But this year, we have seen a resurgence of such shows. This year alone, we have seen RnB star, Joe Thomas, reggae legend, Tarrus Riley and Kwaito star, DJ Cleo among others.

During this year’s Rift Valley Festival, Kenyans will get to see DJ Felix B, one half of the British electro dance duo, Basement Jaxx. He was part of the group together with Simon Ratcliffe.

They group emerged in the dance music scene in the late ’90s and dominated it in the early 2000s when they released their first three albums, Remedy, Rooty and Kish Kash.

As part of Basement Jaxx, he was also famously known for doing remixes of such popular songs as Missy Elliott’s 4 My People, NERD’s She Wants To Move and Justin Timberlake’s Like I Love You among others. Basement Jaxx’s latest album is 2011’s Basement Jaxx vs. Metropole Orkest.

DJ Felix B will be in the country to perform at the Rift Valley Festival, which will take place between 31st of August and 2nd of September at Lake Naivasha.
