Bio
Akanbi is heading a new generation of dedicated ravers in New York City. Raised in Lagos, Nigeria, with limited access to the internet but a huge thirst for new music, Akanbi moved to NYC in 2010 and immersed himself head on into every corner of dance music, as a serious dancer and, eventually, a DJ and rave activator. He’s cultivated his unique style of DJing that delivers an intentional blend of freak-out boogie music, sensual rollers, whip-crack bangers, insistent percussion, afrobeat goodness, deep thumping low frequencies & slow-burning experimental descents. In 2014, he started New York City's GROOVY GROOVY party - a judgment-free atmosphere for wild dance floors, spiritual, mental & physical rejuvenation, radical politics, and a dose of undeniably rocking talent. Akanbi has made an impression with visionary sets at Sustain Release, Nowadays & Public Records, and internationally at the legendary soundsystem function like Wax Treatment, Tresor, Berghain/Panorama Bar, Corsica Studios, Boiler Room x Primavera Sound Barcelona, Dekmantel’s Lente Kabinet & Selectors Festivals and more across Europe & the United Kingdom.
