Keroxen / Discrepant

Keroxen / Discrepant is a festival and label based in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. The label focuses on publishing mainly experimental and non-mainstream music by Canarian artists as well as national and international acts associated with the festival. Since 2021, Keroxen has become part of the Discrepant network.

With a commitment to showcasing unique and boundary-pushing sounds, *Keroxen / Discrepant* provides a platform for artists who defy traditional genres and embrace innovation. Through their releases, they offer listeners an opportunity to explore unconventional musical landscapes created by talented musicians from the Canary Islands and beyond.

As both a festival and label, *Keroxen / Discrepant* actively supports the growth of experimental music scenes locally and globally. By fostering collaborations between diverse artists, they contribute to the development of an inclusive community that celebrates artistic exploration and creative expression.

Helmed by Dave Watts aka D.Watts Riot (Fun-da-mental), the debut King L Man album, Headonix is beat- laden shout out in response to the perpetual state of war we seem to find ourselves at. Outrage and disgust, love and hate, history and presence. Contributions come from four continents. Fresh on the scene is Senegalese vocalist Sidi I.B., who arrived on Canarian shores with two hundred other compatriots, cold, wet and hungry after seven days at sea with nothing but his future in his hands.

Temporarily housed at the infamous migrant holding centre in Las Raíces, Tenerife, the studio environment provided an avenue of relief from the inadequate conditions at the overcrowded camp. Also from Senegal, living in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, is rapper Ibrahima El Latigazo who delivers his lyrics in French, Wolof, Spanish, English &amp; Sérère. Rounding up the Senegalese contingent is Mame Samba, a group that hold the spirits close when performing. Their contribution is from recording sessions they had with François R. Cambuzat and Gianna Greco (Putan Club / Ifriqiyya Electrique). 

Kiki Hitomi (Waq Waq Kingdom/King Midas Sound) returns to the fold, exhaling positivity with Canarian multi-instrumentalist Javier Afonso (Grenouille). The Canarian faction also includes violinist Mónica Viñoly, Dani Garcia (Lagoss/Tupperwear) and Vakawuare. Further guests include percussionist Miroca Paris (Cesária Évora/Madonna); Hamid Mantu (TransGlobal Underground); Ramjac (Dub Colossus), drums and percussion respectively.
