It’s been a big few months for Ribongia with features on triple j, a European tour in support of Hermitude and now the release of his latest EP, ‘ESCAPISMS’.

Premiered via Pigeons & Planes, ESCAPISMS finds Ribongia in full flight. While it’s been a minute since Antonio released his debut EP ‘It Began’, the fast-rising producer has kept his head locked down in the studio for the past few months and the results speak for themselves. Spanning six meticulous, genre-shifting tracks, ESCAPISMS features two previously released singles ‘Journeys’ & ‘My Word’ as well as new single, ‘Downstream’.

Known for incorporating and celebrating native African sounds such as Azonto, Gqom and Shaangan Electro together with a careful blend of trap and footwork genres, Ribongia’s music reflects his curious mind and cutting edge style like no other. 

Ribongia will embark on a national Australian tour in support of the release in May with full dates to follow shortly.

It’s been a while between drinks for our friend-in-safari Ribongia, who’s 2014 EP ‘It Began’ made quite the splash & sent the producer’s eclectic live show on tour around the country

After keeping his head down (and travelling South America) for a few months, Ribongia has emerged from the studio armed with a fresh single and the announcement of his brand new EP, ‘Escapisms’

‘Journeys’ - the first cut to be lifted from Escapsims - finds Ribongia refining and finessing his afro-inspired take on juke, footwork and electronica. It’s a constantly evolving, shifting landscape of tropico-leads & jungle rhythms that never sits still. It’s the perfect reintroduction to Ribongia’s musical output, and has us salivating for the release of the full EP due out early 2016 via October Records
