Sounds of Afrobeats: After Dark

Sounds of Afrobeats: After Dark brings the electrifying energy of Afroclub to the Metro stage for Vivid Sydney, featuring three heavy-hitters from the global scene.

Bringing the impeccable vibes, we welcome DJames, the UK’s multi-award-winning DJ, producer and music curator. The ‘King of Blends’, DJames has worked with global icons like Drake, Burna Boy, Asake, Chris Brown and Stefflon Don. Famed for his signature remixes, exclusive edits and seamless transitions, DJames crafts an unrivalled energy everywhere he plays.

Joining him is DJ Obi, the Nigerian turntable titan. A record-breaker in every sense, Obi holds the world record for the longest DJ set (240 hours), is signed to Roc Nation, and has been crowned the World’s Best DJ at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards. Known for high-energy sets that seamlessly blend Afrobeats, hip-hop, and house, Obi’s Metro set will be nothing short of legendary.

South African sensation Tshegu rounds out the lineup, bringing her signature Amapiano sound to the Metro stage. A rising force in the global music scene, Tshegu’s productions fuse Amapiano, house and old-school influences, creating an infectious rhythm that transcends borders. 

Join us for this non-stop, high-energy celebration of the sounds shaping global club culture.

This event is presented by Vivid Sydney with support from City of Sydney.
