Deki Alem
Swedish rap duo with a punk edge stirs up chaos like Slowthai, but with healthier machismo.
If you did not expect Sweden to be at the forefront of the drum-'n'-bass / hiphop crossover scene, you clearly haven't yet met Deki Alem. The identical twins are, as can be expected, perfectly synchronized with each other and know how to captivate the audience just as effortlessly. They bring a double dose of charisma, yes, and two pairs of flashy sunglasses, but above all a continuously growing collection of hits. Gorillaz has already taken them under their wing, and you can hear that in their sense of melody. Although Albarn probably didn't get such a moshpit going during his Gorillaz days.
