about

Following on from the huge success of his latest EP ‘JUSTINE’, released in June this year, fast-rising singer, songwriter and producer Tony Njoku is back once again to unveil his latest single ‘Death By Dimitri’.

Adopting more of that genre-bending aesthetic he is getting known for, ‘Death By Dimitri’ showcases the artist as one of the more diverse and adventurous artists working today. Taking influence from the trap-inspired hip-hop sound and combining it with a fresh and atmospheric production gives this new release a distinct and remarkable vision that sees him take his rich sound to a whole new level.

Speaking about the new single, Tony said, “This is a slow cruising trap influenced track about the enlightening qualities of intense psychedelic experiences.”

Alongside his new material, the artist will also be accompanying the enigmatic Ghostpoet on his UK Spring tour next year. See below for the full list of live dates:

26th Feb - SWX, Bristol
27th Feb - Academy 2, Manchester
28th Feb - Rescue Rooms, Nottingham
5th March - EartH, London

Tony Njoku is a British-Nigerian electronic music producer and songwriter, born in Lagos but based in London since age 14. Although only 26 years old, Tony has already played widely across Europe, supporting acts including Kokoko!, Gaika, Anna Von Hauswolff, Laura Misch, Puma Blue, IDER and Rival Consoles, appearing at key tastemaker festivals Simple Things, Sonic City and Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here.

His self-penned and produced songs have been described as ‘strikingly evocative soundscapes, managing to make even the shortest pop songs sound like epic adventures.’

With a sound that is both experimental and delicate, emotional and danceable – like a mad fusion of Sampha and Aphex Twin – Tony is a magnificently talented and versatile artist, performing solo with his unique mix of raw, vulnerable vocals and electronic mastery.

lyrics

LYRICS:

This is a song about our existence; a lazy stampede and it’s marching towards
Death, like left right left, like left right left
This is a song about our existence; a lazy stampede and it’s marching towards
Death

It gets real when the vale comes off, dear Dimi shot me straight out of the grid
False prophets keep misguiding us, can’t cope without their medicine

Do this do that work hard, get a job have kids die off
Bleak truths overwhelm us

Heart sings pure proverbs, out mouth sounds sacred tongues
To those who walk a higher path, dear Dimi brings us nearer source.

Breathe in breathe out stay calm!
How you doing? Como estas? Hold on!

Great changes are upon us

These are all my inhibitions, a pranging stampeded and we’re marching towards
Death! like left right left, Death! like left right left

Abstract noises echo through, the boundless caverns in the mind
The soul dances in a pleasure dome, a feat you should see with your eyes.
