Tapes of Utopia harks back to a time of African cassette tapes sold on street markets, a reimagination of mixtape culture blending analogue tones of Afrobeat, Highlife and Soukous with Afrofuturism, rap and electronics.

Tapes of Utopia symbolises a time when technology was decentralised, a vision of utopia where humans are liberated by safe technology that benefits the people not the elites.
