Shino Kikai Live Presents United Frequencies with Mlindo the Vocalist Thursday 04 Dec 2025 | 18:00 doors Open performance Start 20h00 IDoor: R300 at Quicket

Shino Kikai’s live performance, United Frequencies, is a groundbreaking cultural event designed to unite the worlds of live and digital music. The core concept is to preserve musicality while pioneering a new culture, proving that technological innovation can deepen rather than diminish the soul of music. The show unfolds as a journey, beginning intimately with pure analog instrumentation to establish an emotional foundation, then converging into a real-time dialogue where these organic sounds are transformed through live- looping and digital synthesis.

The experience requires a minimalist stage to serve as a canvas for reactive, real-time visuals. The technical setup is a hybrid itself, featuring a dedicated area for traditional instruments and a separate command station for synthesizers and controllers, all connected to a high-fidelity sound system. This show is for electronic music enthusiasts seeking deeper musicality, traditionalists curious about technology, and cultural audiences looking for a meaningful event. The ultimate takeaway is a renewed belief in the future of music—a future that is innovative, inclusive, and profoundly human, showcased through the unique collaborative energy of Kikai and Zuma. United Frequencies is the proof of concept for that future.
