Abontenfou is excited to launch their very first album: Abontenfou Tapes. It features five talented DJs, namely DJ Sidy, DJ Willis, DJ Glitch, DJ Fashion, and DJ Alloh MiX, and each one has put together a 30-minute of non-stop music for your listening pleasure. Together, They have created a unique blend of sounds to showcase the diversity of not only Ghana’s – but also Africa’s – lively music scene.
DJ Sidy starts us off by taking us back to a time before Afrobeats. When the main music that was on people’s minds and in their hearts was hiplife. He brings us songs that are not old – they are timeless. And he reminds us that hiplife is still a vibe.
DJ Glitch blends two forms of Afrobeats from the two countries that are the pillars of Afrobeats music: Ghana and Nigeria. Nigerian by birth and Ghanian by blood, DJ Glitch adds this personal touch to allow listeners to hear the similarities and differences between the two and the way artists blend their languages and pidgin English.
DJ Alloh brings us FrancoMix – a mix that takes us to jamming in the days where one could only listen to music on the radio or stand by someone’s window to watch the banger on a black and white TV. Be getting ready by grabbing your headset or setting up your speakers for this adventure.
DJ Fashion treats us to a mix of two different energies: Ghana and UK drill music and Grime music. By putting these contrasting sounds together, he creates a lively atmosphere filled with nothing but fresh vibes.
Abontenfou ends the album on a high note with DJ Willis showing off his love of amapiano and its unique riddim. He invites us to relax with a pair of headsets or speakers…and let the riddim take you to where you don’t want to go.
This and many more will come your way from this amazing group of talented and creative individuals.
