No strangers to Deer Shed of course (remember the flash mob?), I feel that the Ibibio Sound Machine sound has evolved since they last graced our main stage.

Ibibio Sound Machine is a vibrant ensemble that fuses West African rhythms with electronic beats, creating an irresistible blend of Afro-funk, disco, and modern dance music. Fronted by charismatic vocalist Eno Williams, the band draws inspiration from her Nigerian heritage, incorporating lyrics in English and Ibibio, a language of southern Nigeria. Their music features infectious grooves, brassy horns, and pulsating synths, seamlessly bridging traditional and futuristic sounds.

All this being said, 'Black Notes' featured here on Spotify takes an unmistakable housey sidestep. We are very much looking forward to how this widening of musical horizons manifests itself live. Don't miss.
