OLUGBENGA

– Metronomy bassist and vocalist announces solo project OLUGBENGA
– Mixtape of mashups and remixes to be released December 6th via NME.com
– Also announced: DJ dates in Australia, the UK and the USA
London-based remixer, producer, DJ, bassist and singer OLUGBENGA is a man of many musical talents. Between bouts of touring the world as a member of Metronomy, he’s established a fearsome reputation as a DJ, playing out weaving, high-speed selection of his edits, mash-ups, remixes and original tracks at club nights and events around the globe.

His new mixtape (The G is silent, Vol. 2) is a snapshot of where OLUGBENGA is at right now: an exciting, vibrant crash of warped classics and brand new versions, to be released on December 6th via NME.com. He’ll then take to road for a string of DJ dates, ending with a show at the Barfly on Dec 11th.

OLUGBENGA pulls off the rare trick of sounding like nobody else, but completely of this moment: keep your ears peeled for him in 2011.
