About the label
X3MIX Records
X3MIX Records is an independent record label based in Gaborone, Botswana. Since 2006 we have signed, recorded and released artists from across the country — building a catalogue that runs from Afro-pop , Kwaito , Kwasa House , Afro House to live-band fusion.
X3MIX is the music division of ALKENES, a group operating across the live and recorded entertainment business. That means our artists record in our own studio, tour with our own production, and appear at our own festivals — one roof, first demo to main stage.
