What began with an open crate and an invitation to @bilaldadj has grown into something deeper — a space to listen, reflect, and gather through sound.

Now co-hosted, this studio series offers an intimate experience grounded in shared frequency, analog warmth, and intentional selection.
A home for the underground, curated with care and powered by listening.

Illuminating the liminal space between the ancestral plane and our world through multimedia installation works, nontraditional concert experiences, and sound interventions, my works activate imagination around new ways of embracing the ancient practices of the Ifa Corpus in a heavily burdened contemporary world.

Performance of the track ‘Ifa’ from my first album “NIRI” at Mike Adenuga Centre, Alliance France, Ikoyi, Lagos Nigeria

Dec 2021.

Illuminating the liminal space between the ancestral plane and our world through multimedia installation works, nontraditional concert experiences, and sound interventions, my works activate imagination around new ways of embracing the ancient practices of the Ifa Corpus in a heavily burdened contemporary world.

Performance of the track ‘Ifa’ from my first album “NIRI” at Mike Adenuga Centre, Alliance France, Ikoyi, Lagos Nigeria

Dec 2021.

My name is Adey Omotade @adeyomotade.

I am a composer, sound conceptualist, drummer and artist from Osogbo, Nigeria. I meld traditional Yoruba beats with electronic production techniques to tilt the nexus of contemporary music based on the Ifa Corpus; as a means of cultural preservation and identity formation.

The Ifa Corpus is the cultural heritage and knowledge system of Yoruba people - one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa and 36 countries including Cuba. The binary counting system used by computers originated from the Ifa Corpus. Radiocarbon dating places the “classical” period of Yorùbá art around AD 1000-1400. Colonialism, globalization and religious pressures – has led to the decline in the preservation of this knowledge system.

For the past seventeen years, I have been in training with my father- an Ifa Priest; gathering and collecting sounds, beats, and orations, observing and learning the secrets and traditions of the Ifa Corpus.

I share this knowledge through music by merging digital and analog music techniques and technologies to create a new sound which my wife- Emalohi @emalohi has named “POST AFROBEAT.”

POST AFROBEAT merges my contemporary, electronic and digital compositions with archival materials, with time honored cultural and musical materials.

My goal is to increase the visibility of the Ifa Corpus through music, dance, performance and rituals from the first Odu (verse) of the corpus to the last one (which is infinity).

Aboru Aboye!!!

My second album IRIN AAJO is out now on all platforms.

Powder your head with lyerosun for the enemies to be filled with melancholy
They declared that every day, the Ifa of this person always foresee Ire
Ifa’s message for Orunmila

He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
The hair on the head of all the old people is white and feeble
Otura had truly collect lye. Ase.
