In the second mix of our ‘World Treasures Selectors’ series, Olivier Duport of the FLEE label has selected a playlist of favourites, enjoyed during the Extra Muros – Italy creative program. His selections are mixed alongside the productions made by the artists – Benoit B, Dena, Dona, Eva Geist and Jolly Mare.

Extra Muros is curated by Olivier and Alan Marzo. The two-week residency was held in Italy’s Castello Normanno-Svevo in 2020. Previous project, Extra Muros – Kenya launched FLEE’s sub-label Extra Muros and took place in September 2019 at the Elephant Studio in Nairobi.

During residencies, artists have the chance to collaborate with global likeminds and benefit from FLEE’s support network. Previous projects at FLEE have looked at historical music and cultures (for example, Tarantismo: Odyssey of an Italian Ritual) and given them a modern perspective from leading avant-garde producers, as well as previously exploring the Benga music tradition in Kenya.

The next FLEE and Extra Muros projects will be announced soon.
