BOM Nation

Paper Recordings
PAPR367 | 2025-04-30  
Now and again, an album comes along out of the blue, demanding to be licensed and shared with the world.BOM Nation's long playersounded like nothing else, only the future. Shrouded in mystery and country-of-origin unknown, Africa runs through its DNA, but sometimes mysteries are best left.

Ase - a Yoruba philosophy signifying the power that makes things happen and produces change; given to Gods, ancestors, spirits, humans, animals, plants, rocks, rivers, songs and prayers.

BOM Nation takes influence from all corners of Africa and its diaspora, blending them with 25 years of Western electronic music into a melange of forward facing, leftfield afrofunk. Ase features one of Africa's brightest rising stars, Luka Productions (Mali), cosmic poet Sirius Rush (UK) and master drummer / vocalist Felix Ngindu (DRC/Liverpool) for a journey into kaleidoscopic afro-tech. Gqom, ampiano, shangaan electro and cosmic township funk rub shoulders with Balearic, bass, deephouse and dub for a psychedelic celebration of collaboration and possibility.

As geographical and musical barriers are broken down, BOM Nationis leading the charge; Manchester to Lagos, Lisbon to Sao Paulo, Bamako to Berlin, Asecaptures the sound of the underground.

Available on vinyl and digital.

BOM Nation will be laying live throughout the UK in 2025 and beyond.
