EKITI SOUND Abeg No Vex (The Remixes Vol 1)

‘Art takes living
Art takes truth
I’m an artist and my medium is noise
This is my symphony of Nigeria’s new era’

Ekiti Sound’s childhood between London and Lagos was invaluable: it was a lived experience of the recent musical dialogue between West Africa and the UK.
 
Spending his formative years in East London clubs, then working as a sound designer for Pinewood Studios and scoring movies within the booming Nollywood film industry became the foundation of the album’s eclectic sound, which takes in references as varied as techno, trap and soul, while its narrative pays homage to Nigerian folklore: “I’m really focused on the preservation of our culture,”
