Long shrouded in mystery, William Onyeabor created some of the most futuristic funk ever put to tape.

From cult favourites like ‘Fantastic Man’, ‘Atomic Bomb’ and ‘When the Going Is Smooth and Good’, his music fused hypnotic synths, machine-driven grooves and psychedelic Afro-funk into a sound still unlike anything else.

We celebrate his enduring catalogue with a full live band, bringing Onyeabor’s cosmic rhythms and enigmatic sound back to the dancefloor.

Enjoy a view overlooking the stage from our mezzanine restaurant.
