Info:
Caribbean, jazz, afro, reggae the full spectrum of world music ingeniously and ingeniously fused with electronica. A08 is the brainchild of the two Berliners Dirk Leyers and DJ Nomad. Formerly known as "AFRICAINE 808" – the studio/live music project with an album and various EPs on NYC’s Golf Channel Recordings and Vulcandance. 

AFRICAINE 808 started as an experiment where the two succeeded in the amalgamation of rhythmic world music heritage with the zeitgeist and aesthetics of electronic dance music.
After ten successful years touring the globe as a live music project, a praised double album, 5 EPs and remix work for legends like Tony Allen, Amadou & Mariam among many others, the two decided to re-invent their sound for a new album, exploring Jazz and Caribbean music among their "classic" working genres of electronic world dance music.
For the production, A08 included an illustrious crowd of guests into the band line-up, featuring artists from Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, Trinidad and Germany.
The outcome is "Waiting for Zion", a double album that will be released on Compost Records in winter 2023.
As a live P.A. A08 are performing either as a Soundsystem with Dirk Leyers and DJ Nomad playing live and DJing, or as a live act with live percussion.

All tracks written and produced by Dirk Leyers and Hans Raabe.

Spyashchiye V Polete  (Sleeping In Flight), 120 BPM/WAV

From the heart of London’s club circuit emerges a producer who reimagines disco’s golden glow through a modern house lens. His tracks pulse with the warmth of vinyl-sampled grooves, chopped vocals, and basslines built for late-night dance floors. Funk, French touch, and UK grit collide in his productions, creating an instantly recognizable signature: playful, driving, and irresistibly euphoric.

The sound found its perfect home on his own imprint, Pomme Frite, a label devoted to feel-good house and disco edits that celebrate rhythm and texture over trends. Releases like Let Me Through and Cheap Thrills showcase a confident balance between nostalgia and innovation - music that nods to filter-house pioneers yet feels unmistakably current.

Behind the decks, Alex Virgo channels the same energy that drives his studio work, blending punchy percussion with melodies that shimmer under strobe lights. Each set is a conversation between eras, connecting Chicago’s soul, Paris’s flair, and London’s underground pulse. His vision is simple yet potent: to make people move with joy.

And in a time when dance music often leans on excess, his groove-driven authenticity feels refreshingly pure.
