Olugbenga 'Hafiza [INNOCENCE]'

Lagos raised, London based Olugbenga plays bass in UK electro-pop outfit Metronomy and crafts his own experimental solo concoctions — he also put together a solid Africa In Your Earbuds mixtape for us last year. "Hafiza [INNOCENCE]," the bass-heavy track released late last month, pairs wavy synthesizers and Olugbenga's own pitched-up vocals to create an atmospheric and introverted electronic single. Stream it below and grab it Olugbenga's upcoming Hafiza [INNOCENCE] EP on London label Pictures.
