Area Boys is a DJ project conceived as the answer to the lack of contemporary international, especially African dance music in the Bristol music scene. Area Boys are Ullrich Bartsch and Obaro Evuarherhe: purveyors of international beats from anywhere between Düsseldorf and Lagos.
Together they discovered their love for African rhythms ranging from Fela Kuti’s afrobeat to Ghanaian high life, east African soukous, to more modern afrobeatS: Kuduro from Angola, Kwaito house from South Africa, Azonto from West Africa to name a few. In between you will find south American sprinkles such as Colombian cumbia, and Jamaican dancehall.
From these ingredients they create mesmerising high energy sets that take the audience to a cosmopolitan tribalist dance music experience.
