Mia Koden aka Sancha Ndeko (she/her) is a South London-based South Sudanese and British music producer and DJ. Initially growing up in Ghana and Nigeria soundtracked by her parents' lively stash of music from across the African continent and beyond, her formative years back in the UK had frequent soundsystem pilgrimages to spaces where roots reggae, drum & bass and dubstep could be heard. At some point during her London university days, two rusty Technics 1210’s arrived. Ndeko has since been creating and championing underground electronic music whilst building an arsenal of records traversing many sonic corners of the world. Having made serious waves within the highly acclaimed duo Sicaria Sound with their penchant for forward-thinking 140BPM, her new alias brings along the same infectious energy and bass-and-percs-heavy sensibilities with some exciting deviations. With a heads-approved debut self-released EP as well as a standout record for Ilian Tape - and more in the pipeline - this next chapter embraces being genreless and BPMless whilst building momentum as a forward thinking producer across low-end electronic territories and beyond.
