Olugbenga: Free Track Giveaway
Drum and Bass | Wednesday 22nd February 2012 | Osh
You’d probably recognise him as the sharply dressed bassist of Metronomy, but Olugbenga is now set to get noticed on his own. His first unofficial remixes have already received support on 6 Music, Huw Stevens & Annie Mac on Radio 1 alongside press articles in Clash Magazine and The Independent.
Olugbenga draws from his musical exploits as a producer, remixer and DJ to combine contemporary African roots fusion, left-field hip hop, electronica, gospel and rock - all mixed up into a modern bass driven sound. Expertly set up he produces edits, remixes and cuts live on stage, making each performance diverse and unique to that audience.
2012 has already seen Olugbenga tour Japan, Australia, Italy and the UK, gaining much acclaim for his original and innovative DJ sets. With forthcoming dates including Kendal Calling (UK), Soundwave Festival (Croatia) and a debut tour of Russia.
In the mean time though, grab the free fresh remix of Berlin based singer/songwriter Jim Kroft, another artist who is making some blissful waves in the scene. The track, ‘Ulysses’, sees his signature broken beat and bass heavy sound compliment with the smooth vocals from Kroft. Couple that with pulsating synths and catchy leads and you have an accessible track that can produce a smile at any given time.
