Over Opolopo
Opolopo is Yoruba for "plenty", a word that best exemplifies the diversity of this production wizard’s musical voyage. Whether it's house, boogie, broken beat, funk or soul, his compositions and productions are always uncompromising with a steady gaze on the horizon and a quick glance in the rear-view mirror. Opolopo DJ:s from London to Tokyo. His sets span from funk, boogie and soul to various shades of house. From sweaty, stripped down and dirty to uplifting and lush. All unified by his worship of The Groove. His music spans over two decades on labels such as Local Talk, JVC Japan, Z Records, Om Records, Warner Brothers, Tru Thoughts, Sony/BMG, Defected, Tokyo Dawn Records and Especial Records. Collaborations/remixes include Grammy nominated vocalist Gregory Porter, Omar, Steve Arrington, Lisa Stansfield, Shaun Escoffery, Sandy Barber, The Sunburst Band, Mario Biondi, Azymuth, Dazz Band, Mr. V, and Leroy Burgess. Opolopo made nr. 4 on Traxsource's top 100 Soulful House Artists of 2015 and nr. 15 on the overall Top 100 Artist list. The Superconductor album, released on Joey Negro's Z Records, made nr. 4 on the Top Artist Albums of 2015 list. After spending eight months in Dubai as the first ever resident DJ and Music Director at a Four Seasons hotel, he's now back in Stockholm, touring the world and working on new material.
