Double Drop

At least two artists with this name:

1) Maputo, Mozambique Afro-house artist

Double Drop was born in Maputo, and soon became interested in music. In 2006, he began his adventure in the world of production in styles such as HipHop and R & B. In 2018 he took a break from music for a year, and outside the city he realized the need for a change in the music was in the making. Today, he is back with a new creative lymph, riding on the evolution of the times but always tied to his roots. Which allowed him to sign with major labels like Afrocentric, MoBlack, Transa Records. With the talent of young producers to flourish in Mozambique, he decided to create his label Xibalo.

London twist for good measure” - The Digital Fix

Double Drop have rapidly gained a reputation as one of the most

exciting new live electronic/bass music acts in London today.

Their ability to perform 100% live without the need for a backing track is

what has seen them quickly become a recognised and respected outfit.

Double Drop are a live band playing real instruments in real time to create a

real movement. They are 7 musicians who together write music you would

usually expect from a computer based producer. Their shows are a unique

experience, each track flowing seamlessly into the next as if they were the

slickest of DJ’s.

Featuring an array of European musicians, Double Drop have chosen

London as their playground to experiment and excite. Taking to the stage at

infamous London venues Cargo, Brixton Jamm, Hootananny and

Lovebox festival, supporting the likes of Submotion Orchestra and

Jazzsteppa so early into their career has firmly established them as an

enthralling live act.

2012 saw the release of their debut EP throughout which they effortlessly

combine their love and knowledge for hip-hop, jazz, dubstep and drum &

bass, with a collection of carefully sculpted sounds and samples to create

music not restricted by computers, but entirely organic. Produced to reflect

the intimate atmosphere experienced through their live shows, the Double

Drop EP invites the listener to journey through a landscape where pulsating

synths and tasteful delays meet live drums and acoustic pianos all the while

being gifted with mesmerizing vocals and emphatic inner city sax. The flips in

musical style throughout and subsequent shifts in energy make this EP

something of a musical time lapse.
