Volta45 returns to Grow for another special night curated from start to finish, inviting the electrifying Fofoulah for a live performance before taking control of the dance floor himself.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Volta45 is renowned for his unique style, the London based DJ blends jazzy and percussive sounds from Africa, South America and the French Caribbean into a heady, high energy mix. A regular across the UK and European festival circuit, he has moved dance floors from Turin to the fields of Shambala Festival. As co compiler of Kalita Records’ best selling Borga Revolution, his deep knowledge of crossover West African music shaped by synthesizers, disco and boogie runs through every set.

Headlining the live show are Fofoulah, the London and Bristol based future jazz outfit signed to Glitterbeat Records. Inspired by a cosmopolitan mélange of influences, they fuse jazz improvisation and electronic music with traditional Senegalese rhythms, dub basslines, sci fi synths and sabar drumming. The result is a cauldron of intense, hypnotic grooves.

Featuring members from Senegal, the UK and The Gambia, Fofoulah have headlined the West Holts stage at Glastonbury and performed at Roskilde Festival, carving out a sound that feels both deeply rooted and radically forward looking.

As MOJO put it:
“FOFOULAH... are properly outlandish, teleporting the listener to some West African metropolis a hundred years in the future… this one’s fierce on every level.”

Expect an immersive night that journeys from live future jazz into deep, percussive global club sounds, curated entirely by Volta45 at Grow.
