# THE ADM SHOW

### Recorded locally. Enjoyed globally.

The ADM Show is a London–Lagos based radio platform and cultural movement dedicated to documenting, amplifying and connecting the rapidly evolving world of African electronic music.

Created and hosted by Ekiti Sound on The Beat London 103.6 FM, the show explores the intersection of Afro-house, Afro-tech, broken beat, Amapiano, gqom, underground club culture and future African sound systems — connecting scenes across Lagos, Johannesburg, Accra, London, Paris and the wider diaspora.

Part radio show, part cultural archive and part community platform, The ADM Show exists to spotlight a generation of African and diasporic artists reshaping global electronic music from an African perspective.

Since launching, the platform has featured guest mixes, interviews and collaborations with DJs, producers, curators and cultural voices from across Africa and beyond, while also championing emerging underground talent from Nigeria and West Africa.

The ADM Show is broadcast on The Beat FM 97.9 Abuja, 97.9 Ibadan, 99.9 Lagos, 103.6 London, 99.9 Port Harcourt 

Beyond radio, ADM has evolved into a wider creative ecosystem incorporating:

* live events
* remote broadcasts
* livestream experiments
* artist workshops
* remix competitions
* community partnerships
* multimedia collaborations
* and educational initiatives focused on the future of African electronic music culture.

In 2025, the platform expanded its vision through projects such as the Little Lagos ADM Remix Challenge and proposed educational partnerships with Ableton focused on production workshops, artist development and electronic music education across Lagos.

ADM’s wider philosophy is rooted in the belief that African electronic music is not a niche trend, but a growing global cultural movement — one connected to migration, technology, spirituality, nightlife, storytelling and the future of Black electronic expression.

The platform has also become known for connecting grassroots underground culture with wider conversations around innovation, visual art, digital creativity and future African infrastructure. Through collaborations with festivals, creative collectives and cultural institutions, The ADM Show aims to help shape sustainable pathways for African electronic artists both locally and internationally.

Whether broadcasting from a London radio studio, a rooftop in Lagos, an underground dancefloor or a future livestream hub somewhere between continents, The ADM Show continues to document the sounds, people and ideas shaping the next era of African dance music culture.

A must-listen for anyone who appreciates genre-defying, boundary-pushing music from Africa, Ekiti Sound is back with his sophomore release, delivering a gorgeous and powerful album and a worthy follow-up to 2019’s award-winning debut ‘Abeg No Vex’

Drum Money is a sonic ride which seamlessly incorporates elements of Nigerian music, electronic beats and hip-hop influences to create a sound that is both utterly unique and warmly familiar.

Sophisticated and earthy, provocative and multi-faceted, Drum Money comprises seventeen tracks which abound with surprises and invention. From lead single Chairman (out March 31), a wild slice of neo-afrojuju and electronica, it’s clear that the London/Lagos based artist has upped his game. Horns blast, drums rattle, and featured artist Aunty Rayzor’s rapid-fire Yoruba bars blend to enclave the listener within the afro juju synths and energetic drum patterns.

Leke aka Ekiti Sound produced and programmed the album, and also handled most mic duties. On the the elegant, ironical jazzy hip hop title track, he displays self-deprecating hairline humour, while referring to past experiences such as running around New York trying to sell beats. Elsewhere, he leaves a voice note to a past lover on a talking drum (see the attached track-by-track notes). Throughout the album, his punchy style and melodic delivery blur between pidgin, patois and prose.

Also appearing on Drum Money are a cast of great Lagos musicians, including a vintage afrobeat-like horn section, keys, percussion, some deep grooving live bass lines courtesy of Metronomy’s Olugbenga Adelekan and several guest vocalists. Drum Money was recorded at the Ekiti Sound studio in Lagos, and mixed between Lagos, London with Clinton Mccreery (Enny, Idris Elba, Maverick Sabre), and Los Angeles with Stef Morro at irkobeats3 studio (Kanye West, Jay-Z).

Among the album’s many highlights, special mentions should go to moody downtempo soundscapes such as Mami Wata, driving afro/clubby tracks like Ku Ise, the mysterious Raindrops (illuminated by Debbie Ohiri’s vocals), and many songs packed with catchy melodic lines, deep lyrics and unexpected sonic textures.

Ekiti Sound spearheads a new musical dialogue between London and Lagos. His debut album wires novel musical circuitry into shape, soldering UK soundsystem culture, hip-hop and Afrobeat into new, haywire connections, a diverse chorus of global voices routed through its new configurations. It’s a starkly original record, built up of layered musical histories, papered over one another into a messy, exhilarating collage of sounds.
