Boko Boko and Enchufada’s Mina met Bryte in Ghana, and the pair have since toured the world showcasing their unique blend of global club sounds. The duo released their debut joint EP ‘Abeka Bugatti’ on Earth Kicks on August 20th - named after Bryte’s neighbourhood in Accra. The EP is their most accomplished project yet, and features five club-ready bangers, connecting the dots between a range of influences including gqom, funky, afrohouse and amapiano. Bryte’s multilingual lyrics about his life in Accra and London skip playfully over Mina’s upbeat and distinctive production style, demonstrating how two artists from very different backgrounds can come together to create “exuberant, passionate, forward-thinking club music that slips between two continents.” [Clash Magazine] They are bringing their full live set to Manchester as part of their upcoming tour. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes for this one! SKITTLES [LIVE] Levelz don and local legend Skittles blesses the Abbey stage with a full live band for our first birthday bash!
