Doulou

Gafacci

Gafacci is a constantly evolving visionary and versatile artist whose productions naturally include an afro twist with strong influences of electronic music. Experimenting with multiple genres, he created the unique Gafacci sound spreading across Ghanaians and music lovers beyond the motherland today. His knowledge of the global music scene and the very ‘twists’ his productions embody are driven by the influence of his love for the booming ‘Asokpor’ music in Ghana back in the 1990s and early 2000s.

From being mainly in the studio, he went on to paly at renowned festivals like Fusion (Germany), CTM (Germany), Oslo World (Norway), Nyege Nyege (Uganda) and Chalewote (Ghana). He is also the brain behind the ‘Jowaa’ project, where he produced songs like Okwe and Banku Dade which was #1 downloaded bass track on Juno in 2017.

State OFFF

The Amsterdam-based DJ, producer, and creative mastermind flawlessly showcases high energy sets that combine the exhilarating sounds of new age Gqom interspersed with exciting contemporary genres and edits from the African diaspora and beyond. His debut EP, 'GQOM TODAY', introduced a futuristic take on the dark, minimalist sound and went on to top Apple’s Hardcore Electronic Music charts across multiple countries.

State OFFF's performances are set ablaze with refreshing sounds, as he so masterfully strings together the right kicks, chants, and rhythms.
