Once a producing prodigy who was first signed to a major label at the ripe age of 17, St Louis-born Osunlade, now 47, has, well, expanded his repertoire over the years: he's now also a label boss and a priest of Ifa, a religion practised by the Yoruba people in West Africa. These activities are clearly reflected in his music, which travels from orthodox house to creative, spiritual roots tunes. For this date at Contact, Osunlade will be joined by Tokyo's own soulful house and dance purveyors Dazzle Drums.
