XOA

2019’s debut album from London producer Nick Tyson is an uplifting mix of afrobeat, house, and brokenbeat that features strong vocal appearances from Ruby Wood, Hollie Cook and Lulu James. XOA is known for keeping a vibrant collaborative element to his sound. The first single released by XOA in 2016 “Aiye Le” featured none other than Dele Sosimi, Fela Kuti’s musical director and was premiered during a Gilles Peterson Boiler Room set. Way West is a worthy and super chilled out listen from start to finish and we look forward to hearing more from XOA and his future collaborators. Fans of Anchorsong and Rampue take note!
