This party was one for the ages.

It was a full house at The Alchemist Bar last Thursday night, on December 13, when we touched down to throw the first ever OkayAfrica activation in Nairobi, Kenya.

Nairobi’s Studio Can-V Is the Future of Kenyan Nightlife & Music

Get to know the new accessible music studio in Nairobi, gaining lots of buzz, empowering young DJs, and reshaping the future of Kenya’s nightlife scene.

Nairobi's hardest hustling DJ Coco Em kick-started the night with some highly-infectious afro-house tracks.

Blinky Bill then brought the house down with a mini acoustic and drum machine live set, followed by a remarkable afrobeats-electronic DJ set to take us into the night.

After a lot of chanting and begging from the audience, he could not resist giving them a lively rendition of "Atenshan", from his new album, Everybody's Just Winging It and Other Fly Tales.

The OkayAfrica Link Up party was hosted by our Music Editor Kam Tambini and Kenyan-based music critic, curator and contributor, Camille Storm.
