"Akanbi B2B The Large recorded live last November at New York’s veteran party ReSolute! This 2hr recording was the closing set to a rocking night with the Zenker Brothers & Priori holding down the earlier shifts. Mega fun & bubbly, body rocking, summer whiplash vibes plenty inside this chunky mix. A bountiful bouquet of good ass dance music straight from the heart is what you’re guaranteed with this one. 100% spiritual rejuvenation or your money back. Highly recommended for long car rides while the sun is up…volume up. Hope you enjoy…love."

Interview

Fresh Kicks 208: Akanbi

Precious sonic souvenir from my debut explorations in China during the Music Magic World Tour earlier in the spring. Recorded live on a rainy sunday night at the best club in Shenzhen. I got scammed bad before my previous gig in Shanghai and I was trapped in the airport for 5 hours due to weather prior to arrival in Shenzhen. So I had to reach deep spiritually (no weed too smh) to position myself to deliver the vibes to the people regardless. Big proud with the outcome and I hope this 2hr bouquet makes your day better. 

Track ID requests welcomed in the comments.

Love, rave man.

Akanbi Live At Oil, Shenzhen, China - April 6, 2024

Enjoy this recording of New York City's GROOVY GROOVY party head honcho "Akanbi" and his unique style of DJing recorded at Weird Science during one of the coldest days during winter 2024. Intentional blend of freak-out boogie music, sensual rollers, whip-crack bangers, insistent percussion, afro-beat goodness, deep thumping low frequencies & slow-burning experimental descents.

Post Recording 026 - Akanbi

Akanbi is having a huge year, lighting up dance floors with his vibrant sessions that flit through sounds and styles with ease. His set on Thursday evening began with powerful calls for a free Palestine and ended with the buoyant tones of Andruss' "Toma Que Toma."

We're live in 2025! Akanbi offers up patient and deep excursions on this closing set of the club night. A compact thesis for his immense breadth and depth, while making it all make sense. Nobody does it quite like this.
