Ibibio Sound Machine x Ink Project (Blind Colour) x DJ Dom Servini

Wringer + Mangle are proud to announce Ibibio Sound Machine kicking of our weekly Thursday live gigs. Fronted by British / Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, they combine elements of West African highlife, disco, post-punk and psychedelic electro soul. Their pulsating first single 'Let's Dance' was added to the BBC 6 Music playlist.

Folk stories, recounted to Eno by her family as a child in her mother's South-Eastern Nigerian Ibibio language form the creative lyrical fabric of the album. A large dose of electronic elements and an approach as influenced by London as much as by West Africa, give the vocals and guitar lines space to breath without being overwhelmed.

From the banging sub-bass of 'Lets Dance' to the spiritual, gospel-tinged notes of the album's opening track 'Voice of the Bird', the band have turned in a dynamic and, at times, beautiful take on modern afro-soul music.

Live support comes from Ink Project (Blind Colour)

Electro-soul collective based in Brighton and Bristol whose sound has been likened to Massive Attack, and whose new album, Satellite On, has just been released to rave reviews.

Radio support from Gilles Peterson and Mistajam.
