THIRD OF JUNE

Genre: Afro, House, Tech with a side of indie dance 

Come for the Boaba beats with Kieka drops & stay to shake some ass!

The name sounds foreign but their sound will make you feel right at home.  These two beat lovers speak the language of groove. 

Their name was derived from a psychological phenomenon (the Bouba-Kiki effect) that demonstrates the relationship between sound and shapes.  With Bouba typically being associated with a rounded shape and Kiki with a spikey shape.  This effect is used to explore how we perceive and categorise sound and visuals, providing the natural tendency to associate certain phonetic qualities with visual traits. 

Boaba Kieka is known to shape their sound accordingly, crafting sets that are both groovy and soulful as well as edgy and fiercely funky.  Their heart lies in Afro but they are versatile in catering to both the crowd and event and love to lean into their deeper funk side of fun, creating House and Tech sets that are deliciously bouncy and more-ish.  No matter what, there will be a tasteful blend of beats and drops with catchy vocals infused with deep-driving basslines that will bring an electrifying energy to the dancefloor. 

It’s a sound impossible not to move to.
