A cultural platform for artist development
from the UK to East Africa
We have played all over the world, but being part of NURA felt special. This was not just another gig, it was a whole experience, connecting jungle back to its roots, sharing knowledge, and inspiring the next wave of DJs. NURAFEST was a whole vibe. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.Fabio and Grooverider
We are NURA
A cultural platform for artist development, backing artists across East Africa and the UK.
We create opportunities to produce music, learn the industry, learn to DJ, and perform on stage next to the pioneers who shaped the sound.
Thirty years in Jungle and Drum and Bass sit behind us. We work with the initiatives already building here so the scene is led from the inside.
Season 2
Back at Baobab Studios, Kilifi for the Season 2 Writers Camp. The panel is locked in, led by the pioneers who shaped the sound, with more announced soon.
Thank you to everyone who applied. The 8 finalists are now with the panel. The four successful producers will be announced on 29 October 2026.
East Africa's first Jungle D&B Festival.
NURAFEST exceeded all expectations, drawing 500 revellers in low season, the largest event of its kind on the coast. UK pioneers shared the stage with the Kenyan artists coming through, jungle connected back to its roots, and a scene that lives between festivals had a place to gather. Watch the film.

Mentors
The people who shaped the sound, in the room.
The first NURA camp brought Kenyan producers, DJs and vocalists together with Jungle and DnB pioneers Fabio and Grooverider, DJ Krust and Darren Jay for a week of making, mentoring and performing.
Artists built new tracks, learned from the people who shaped the sound, and formed collaborations that carried on past the camp. This was the proof. The talent is here, and it moves fast when the support is in place.
