Champagne Bar & LoungeDJ Hansin started his musical career as a drummer in his home country Gambia, and he has been a DJ for more than ten years. His style as a performer is unique, as he combines his several musical skills and blends tracks with live percussion playing when DJ’ing. Hansin is now based in Jyväskylä, Finland, and his goal is always to bring positive vibes and good energy, no matter where he plays.
MC Enoch Gyasi made an entrance to the Finnish Afro scene only a year ago, but in a short time, he has become the symbol of hype and energy at parties all over Finland. The born-to-be-a-hypeman has made waves hyping the crowd for true African superstars like Ruger and Flavour, joined the team of AAH! club night performers and been the MC in Heatwave club nights at Ääniwalli this summer.
Aakusti is an award-winning percussion artist and teacher who has dedicated himself to West African music culture soon for 30 years. An extended apprenticeship and collaboration with a griot have brought him an exceptional understanding of West African rhythm. When playing at clubs with DJs, Aakusti situates the centuries-old dialogical wisdom of African rhythm into a new context of urban life.
