British-Nigerian selector mapping highlife to club music
Based in London, United Kingdom
HighlifeJazzDeep house
More listening-room than peak-time: his sets and shows trace highlife, juju, soukous, and makossa into modern dance music. Expect old records, long blends, and a historian’s ear rather than a straight club burn.
