Stephen Dapaah is a steel pan musician who has delighted audiences all over the world. He delights in playing music which makes people feel good and want to dance. He plays a variety of styles and genres including; R'n'B, pop, reggae, dancehall, calypso, soul, and funk.
Buoy Meets Krill is your favourite soothe song played from the bath, waves of sound lapping at your jazzy little toes as you drift on a story somewhere between folklore legend and beachy blues.
Guohan draws from a tapestry of organic grooves and global influences. Born in Ningbo, Guohan began shaping his sound within the underground music movement of southern China. After relocating to Nottingham, UK, he became involved with the city’s music scene where he self-released his solo LP ‘Lost Sound Book’ in 2021, and followed with EP ‘City of the Sun and Moon’ in 2022 on Darker Than Wax.
Lakumer found his eclectic music taste through watching the 411VM skateboard videos in the 90s. He discovered electronic music through Cambridge’s drum and bass and house/techno scenes, attending iconic parties such as Warning, The Priory, and Spoonfed. In 2010, he co-founded Remote Records with brothers Ed and Wil Maddams, an underground house label, hosting parties in Cambridge and London until 2014. In 2020, Lakumer started LIBL with UMARGA, championing obscure electronic sounds. More recently, he set up Engineered Studio, where he serves as the lead mastering engineer.
