OYOBI
Band from Surry Hills, Australia
Oyobi takes audiences on polyrhythmic journeys using electronic machines, synths, percussion, and bass. Their music is primal, raw, and prone to improvisation. Breaking typical genre barriers, they blend elements of electronica, house, jazz, Latin, and broken beat, with Latin American rhythms.
Their unique sound is crafted by three main protagonists- Vincent Sebastian (machines, percussion), Adam Ventoura (bass), and Planeface (synths), and special guest vocalists including QVLN and Karen Lee Andrews.
Their debut 'Translations' EP (Imagenes Records UK 2019) was hailed a "fantastic marriage of an electronic reverence to the sound and rhythm of the ancestors" by iconic producer and label boss Osunlade (Yoruba Records). It reached number #1 on the Traxsource charts and was featured in the best of 2019 chart.
Their next release “Transcendence” was released on London's Atjazz Record Company and labelled “Stunning” by Laurent Garnier and “Sublime” by The Brag. The EP included a host of collaborations and remixes, reaching number #1 on the Traxsource charts and included on the iconic compilation ‘Late Night Tales'.
Since then Oyobi have supported Grammy winners “Los Amigos Invisibles” and released music and remixes on international labels Ocha Records (USA), United Records (HK), and locally with Groovescooter Records, and Astral People. Their music has been remixed by renowned DJs Hallex M (HK), Atjazz (UK), Coflo (USA), and Aroop Roy (UK).
