OKERE EP

The star-studded Sai Galaxy project returns, bringing together West African legends Steve Monite and Rob with multi-instrumentalist Simon Durrington, guitar maestro Alfred Bannerman and Egypt 80 trumpet player Bade for a second EP of vital Afro-disco and soul.

The EP follows up 2022’s Get It As You Move EP, blending layers 

of vocal harmonies and synth washes with a rock-solid disco 

base. The sound stays faithful to the analogue production 

techniques of the 70s and 80s, adding a modern touch 

informed by Durrington’s Digital Afrika project.

Lead single ‘Hold You Tonight’ features Nigerian disco icon 

Steve Monite (best known for his mega hit ‘Only You’), revisiting 

his 80s origins with a dancefloor-ready slice of dubbed out 

boogie. ‘Rich Man Poor Man’ (featuring Ghana’s very own 

ROB) slows down the tempo and brings the highlife influence 

to the fore, while ‘Sometimes It Rains’ brings a neo soul bump 

with the Omar-esque sound of Fijian vocalist Kaivili.
