E'DU & Judgitzu live in Milan Thursday 12.11.2026 Nuku, out on Nyege Nyege in 2026, brings together Togolese ensemble E'DU - @edusitu8 and French producer Judgitzu in a two-part release rooted in Vodou practice. The first piece is a collaboration developed during a residency in Togo. It draws on Adbadja, Dan and Sakpate rhythms. These are warrior, serpent and earth based forms used in Vodou ceremonies in southern Benin and Togo to prepare bodies, mark initiation and call forces. Drums, bells and call-and-response vocals sit at the centre. Repetition is the method. Patterns circle and lock while small shifts accumulate over time. Judgitzu's electronics follow the same logic. Tempo changes stay slight, pitches move in semitones, and sections grow through layering rather than breaks. Bass and synthesis extend the force of the drums without softening them. Nuku, the Ewe word for "eye", refers to attention and instinct. The methods are old. The tools are current. The aim is trance.
