The wild beats of Angolan Kuduro music have been big in Lisbon clubs since the late 90s and Buraka Som Sistema - AKA Lil' John, Riot and Conductor – have fused it with 21st century electronics to create a whole new sound. Now this grimey electro ghettotech take on their favourite South West African music has is quickening and corrupting dancefloors all over the world, and they haven't even released their debut album yet!



Lil John and Riot began making music together in their teens, but the core of Buraka Som Sistema formed when the two began working with Angolan producer, Conductor, who brought along an extensive knowledge of Kuduro music to the equation. The three draw influences from the music of their youth and culture, fusing it with the inspiration taken from music genres as diverse as drum'n'bass, hip hop and dance music. A revolving cast of talents complete the picture for Buraka, including guest vocals/MCing from Petty, M.I.A., Pongolove, Kalaf, No Lay, DJ Znobia.

Stateside massive, make sure you catch BSS live in the U.S. this week including their headlining Trouble & Bass performance in New York City as well as dates in LA and San Francisco.
