Ibibio Sound Machine’s music offers “a groove-driven melange of styles”. Fronted by singer Eno Williams, the project fuses “New York new wave and disco with Ghanaian highlife and Nigerian folk culture” (The Guardian).
Since Ibibio Sound Machine was formed by Williams and Max Grunhard in 2013 the London-based group has become renowned for their irresistible grooves and dynamic live shows.
Following their 2019 release ‘Doko Mien’ Ibibio Sound Machine have teamed up with Hot Chip for new single ‘Electricity’ which “wraps some bouncy analogue synths around their pulsating afro-beat leaning rhythms” (CLASH).

Fresh out of Bristol, Kutamba are bringing their own take on the sound of Zimbabwe’s golden era. Intricate rhythms and bouncy melodies sung in Shona by Manu Maunganidze. From the fiery chimurenga beat of Thomas Mapfumo to the jit jive of the Bhundu Boys, the set showcases a rich cultural range of Zimbabwean music, with a few other worldly influences thrown in.
