We went on a theme night, during which there was a good DJ – DJ Fita – and so, the place was quite packed, actually, to the point that a lovely waitress had to save us by finding us an available table, as it didn't look like there was any. - Daily Nation
The EDM culture in Kenya is alive and these two EDM remixes to Tetu Shani and Mayonde’s ‘Chemistry’ are proof of that! The Under Cover plays out exclusively on Weekend Breakfast With Rae, a feature where two renditions to the same song are pitted against each other and the one that garners the most votes is crowned Under Cover winner.
Produced by Kenyan born and raised deejays/ producers DJ Fita and Hendrick, these remixes are the epitome of divine and are definitely worlds apart from the original.
It was a tough run for both jams that it even became the first Under Cover in Weekend Breakfast History to flow over into the next edition! - Homeboyz Radio
The latest collaboration by DJ Nruff has landed! The track “Calling” features Kenyan EDM Producers: DJ Fita and Mahemba (FITEMBA) and Hendrick and the crown prince of Benga: Dan Aceda on the vocals.
DJ Fita talks about his involvement on the track. “Sometime last year I started working with DJ Nruff for his album. I started with remixing a track from his previous album then this one time he hit me up and we started working on a track. A couple of weeks later he hit me up saying Chizi loved the track and would be doing the vocals, and now the track has dropped.” - Not Just Okay Africa
