About Ibibio Sound Machine
London-based DJ/live music octet Ibibio Sound Machine combine sounds inspired in equal measure by the golden era of West African funk and disco, post-punk, and modern electro. The bandmembers are all enthusiasts of African grooves from the 1970s and '80s. Fronted by English-Nigerian vocalist Eno Williams, the group took club culture by storm with their self-titled debut for Soundway in 2014. Supported by a host of influential DJs, the album opened the door to international touring. ISM signed to Merge for 2017's Uyai, adding elements of post-punk to their genre collision. They followed with 2019's raucous Doko Mien and 2022's Electricity, produced by Hot Chip, juxtaposing Afrobeat, electro, new wave, and disco. In 2024, Pull the Rope altered the focus, pointing toward a darker, driving mutant club music. Produced by saxophonist Max Grunhard, 2026's Chopping Mountain was centered around themes of compassion, love, social justice, and peace.
