The Angolan producer returns to Hyperdub following 2020 debut Guerilla

Nazar is releasing a new album through Hyperdub, titled Demilitarize.

Coming five years on from the Angolan kuduro producer's debut album for the label, Guerilla, the 10-track record was produced after he recovered from a lengthy bout of illness brought about by COVID-19 combining with latent tuberculosis that he'd lived with for a number of years.

In a statement, Nazar said: "With the album being introspective, I didn't seek to capture sounds from real places to enhance its universe like on Guerilla. I wanted to make it almost metaphysical like creating sci-fi, with classic cyberpunk anime Ghost In The Shell being a core inspiration."

Listen to lead track 'Anticipate' below.

Hyperdub will release Demilitarize on...
