KILIMANJARO
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 20TH AT PARALLEL
23:59-05:00
Rooted in his Zambian heritage, KILIMANJARO’s sound is driven by Afro-centric, percussive energy shaped by a lifelong connection to rhythm. From early years as a drummer and band member across Scotland to years spent DJing the UK circuit, his journey through electronic rock and club culture has forged a powerful, forward-thinking style influenced by Bloc Party, Black Coffee, The Prodigy and Daft Punk.
Now based in London, KILIMANJARO has built a loyal following through relentless touring and standout performances, including a Fred again..-invited Boiler Room London set, alongside appearances at Glastonbury, Parklife, DC-10 and Ushuaïa Ibiza. With his debut EP The Jump Off landing via Capitol Records in early 2025, he continues to push his percussive, underground sound to new heights.

Line-up
KILIMANJARO
With his influence extending to the broader UK and European scenes, he has shared stages with acclaimed artists such as Fred Again, Optimo, Melé, Folamour, Denis Sulta, Absolute, Eclair Fifi, Hammer, Theo Kottis, Jaguar, and Arielle Free. Notably, his electrifying debut on Boiler Room garnered over 350k views, further establishing his dynamic presence. Fueled by anticipation, KILIMANJARO is poised to showcase his unique essence to the global stage.
This past year has seen KILIMANJARO return to the studio, bringing his rhythmic energy and unique vocal style to all of his production, with his vocals allowing him to truly express himself to the fullest. 2021 saw KILIMANJARO launch his own brand, KILIMANJARO MUSIC, which has allowed him to focus on championing black, POC, female and other marginalised DJs and producers from up and down the country. The brand has manifested itself in the form of club nights and parties in London, Edinburgh and Glasgow, a monthly radio residency on Project Radio.
