Simon Grab feat. Yao Bobby
A dark, experimental hip hop and bass noise experience
Zurich musician Simon Grab takes his long-time collaboration partner Yao Bobby on stage with him for a special programme designed especially for the evening. Grab also invites London-based musician Dhangsha aka Aniruddha Das for a solo set.Yao Bobby and Simon Grab have been working on their unique style since 2018 - a combination of dirty bass electronics by Swiss noisemaker Simon Grab with straightforward rapped lyrics in Ewe, the native language of Togolese MC Yao Bobby. This performance focusses on pulsations in the bass frequencies - a dark, experimental hip-hop and bass noise experience.As the duo ‘Yao Bobby x Simon Grab’, they release their music on the Bristol label LavaLava Records, and some of their music videos have won awards. Other tracks have appeared on compilations by labels such as Exist Records, Syrphe and the Nyege Nyege Tapes. The latter organises the renowned Nyege Nyege Festival in Uganda, where the duo will be performing for the second time. Wire Magazine also writes enthusiastically: ‘This is music that stands up to our modern madness while providing a gloriously righteous salve.’ Simon Grab also releases as a solo artist on the Zurich label -OUS and performs in various constellations and collaborations.
