@dkmntl present the debut EP from much-hyped South African artist @EsaWilliams, and on the occasion of this release he's put together for us this beautifully crafted mix of global influences: 
'This mix contains music mostly from friends who are all exploring and challenging dance floors across Europe at the moment, from Cuban collaborations with Iran, to the Pop Makossa from West Africa. This is a glimpse into the moment, enjoy!'

Bleep Mix #6 - Esa

Out now, 'Pyramid' is a single from @Ariwo's upcoming EP that will be released through MANANA//Records in Feb 2019. 

When played live, Pyramid marks a shift in their set; rhythms become more locked, elements are stripped back and the band connects with the audience on a deeper level. 

Make sure not to miss Ariwo this April with upcoming gigs across the UK: 

Newcastle (Cobalt Studios) 13th April, 
Wales (Neuadd Ogwen, Bethesda) 21st April 
London (Village Underground) 23rd April

ARIWO are a Cuban/Iranian four-piece focused on the rich intersection between electronic music, Afro-Cuban rhythm and Iranian mysticism. The word "Ariwo" means "noise" in Yoruba. 

The band brings together POUYA EHSAEI - hailed as belonging “in that precious pile” of Iranian electronic music composers - and three of London’s most influential Cuban musicians; Irakere and Carlos Acosta’s Latin Grammy winning “percussion virtuoso”, HAMMADI VALDES; Yussef Kamaal and Sierra Maestra lead trumpeter, YELFRIS VALDES; and godfather of London’s Cuban music scene, ORESTE NODA.
