Sam Akpro

Sam Akpro returns with new single “Disposition”, a gut-punching groove for the late hours. After joining forces with tastemaking label ANTI- and the success of his BBC 6 Music A-List track “Death By Entertainment”, the new direction Peckham-born artist reflects the scale of his ambition. Having performed at Pitchfork Festival Paris following a rapturous reception at Green Man Festival and Outbreak Festival where he shared a bill with Death Grips and Denzel Curry, Sam Akpro's shows have gained notoriety. Expect packed, shoulder-to-shoulder thrills, electrified by his livewire command of an audience and world-expanding band. “Disposition”, co-produced with Shrink, is a new kind of beast. He takes a more melodic turn fitted with mind-altering electronic flourishes, but those left-turns - the off-kilter grooves, jagged edges and sucker-punch rhythms that are so unmistakably Sam Akpro - are firmly in the driver's seat. "Gurning into the sunrise - is it worth it?" is the explanation Akpro offers for this invocation of a night's tangled highs and the sobering comedown that awaits in the cold stares and cold air.
