Oyobi takes audiences on polyrhythmic journeys using electronic machines, synths, percussion, and bass. Their music is primal, raw, and prone to improvisation. Breaking typical genre barriers, they blend elements of electronica, house, jazz, Latin, and broken beat, with Latin American rhythms.
Their unique sound is crafted by three main protagonists- Vincent Sebastian (machines, percussion), Adam Ventoura (bass), and Planeface (synths), and special guest vocalists including QVLN and Karen Lee Andrews.
Their debut 'Translations' EP (Imagenes Records UK 2019) was hailed a "fantastic marriage of an electronic reverence to the sound and rhythm of the ancestors" by iconic producer and label boss Osunlade (Yoruba Records). It reached number #1 on the Traxsource charts and was featured in the best of 2019 chart.
Their next release “Transcendence” was released on London's Atjazz Record Company and labelled “Stunning” by Laurent Garnier and “Sublime” by The Brag. The EP included a host of collaborations and remixes, reaching number #1 on the Traxsource charts and included on the iconic compilation ‘Late Night Tales'.
Since then Oyobi have supported Grammy winners “Los Amigos Invisibles” and released music and remixes on international labels Ocha Records (USA), United Records (HK), and locally with Groovescooter Records, and Astral People. Their music has been remixed by renowned DJs Hallex M (HK) , Atjazz (UK) , Coflo (USA), and Aroop Roy (UK). While, their 2020 cover of Jean Carne's 1980’s classic "Don't let it go to your head" was praised by Jean Carne herself, applauding the distinct approach that Oyobi developed.
In 2022 they released on major label Defected after being recruited by tastemaker and A&R Melvo Baptiste. Since then, Oyobi has participated on the international stage with exciting collaborations with artists Barrio Lindo (Berlin), Selomi (South Africa), Oveous & Qvln (USA), Atjazz (UK), Nickodemus (USA), and locally with Cosmos Midnight, Amaru Tribe, and Milan Ring- whose debut album featuring Oyobi productions was nominated for an ARIA for best RnB album.
In 2023, Oyobi appeared on the remix compilation 'Quemando' by Oveous & Qvln alongside Atjazz, Nickodemus, Ezel, and Mike Steva, and produced other releases where they flexed their remix skills for artists globally. With a new album in the works for 2026, Oyobi keeps pushing musical boundaries and forging exciting collaborations in the world of organic, rhythmic, and spiritual electronic music.
