Orlando Julius Ekemode was midden jaren zestig en zeventig de Nigeriaanse highlife- en afrosoulheld, die speelde met internationale grootheden als jazzband The Crusaders en songwriter en soulzanger Lamont Dozier. Maar in het westen kwam hij nooit in het spotlicht te staan. “Jaiyede Afro” is feitelijk de eerste westerse release van de 71-jarige funkveteraan. Een daverend debuut volgens de internationale pers. De muziek van Julius was midden jaren zestig nogal opzienbarend: Afrikaanse traditionele dansmuziek gemengd met westerse soul, r&b en funk.

Skip&Die begon als een samenwerking tussen de Zuid-Afrikaanse zangeres Cata.Pirata en de Nederlandse producer Jori Collignon (Nobody Beats the Drum, C-Mon & Kypski) en resulteerde in het debuutalbum Riots In The Jungle. Inmiddels heeft de band maandenlang een indrukwekkend tourschema afgelegd door Spanje, Frankrijk en Duitsland. Met hun tropical bass en african electro is de band de festivalsensatie van de laatste jaren.
