Sicaria Sound
Sicaria Sound were an electronic music duo composed of Lou Nour and Sancha Ndeko.
History[edit]
Lou Nour (FKA Imbratura) was born and raised in London with full Moroccan heritage. Sancha Ndeko is South-Sudanese and English and was born in Sheffield, grew up in Ghana and Nigeria before moving back to the UK to live in Bournemouth prior to settling in London.[1] Having met at the back of a lecture hall at university where they were both studying Geography, they bonded over Fabric nightclub as well as their joint love for bass heavy music, particularly dubstep.[2] They began attending nights together, which they have stated as being seminal in creating the foundations for Sicaria Sound.[1] Whilst living together, they started to learn how to mix.[3] After university they both worked in radio production.[1]
They are the first resident DJs for the Deep Medi Musik label, and have played events such as Glastonbury Festival, Boomtown Festival, Outlook Festival and Atlas Electronic.[4][5] Since 2018 they have held a monthly residency on Rinse FM where they focus on playing new material from underground artists.[6] In 2020 they launched their Cutcross imprint to “champion the melting pot of bass-centric sounds teetering around 140 BPM…whilst spotlighting underground artists" with the label's first release being a four track multi-artist EP.[7] In March 2021 they made their production debut with their first EP 'Binate'.[8]
At the end of 2021 the duo announced that they would no longer be performing together due 'health and well-being reasons'. The split was amicable.
