Boy Azooga pay tribute to William Onyeabor on Heavenly Recordings debut

The psych-pop voyagers - led by Cardiff’s Davey Newington - worked on the track with producer Eddie El Shakarchie (aka Dr Ed Boogie) in his living room.

"This song is basically just a celebration (rip off) of the late great William Onyeabor," explains Newington. "I wanted the percussion to be purposefully a bit too loud, maybe by the usual standard. Loads of Onyeabor's percussion is blaring in the mix, but it makes it sound so live and feely. I wanted to create that feeling of being in the room where the music is being played."

The hypnotic/chaotic accompanying vid was directed by Toby Cameron.

Boy Azooga play Cardiff's Transport Club later this month, with shows in Manchester and London confirmed for December. Find out more.
