Wrong Way Up

Born out of a deep love for the dancefloor, Wrong Way Up channel vintage Afro disco and psychedelic boogie to bring a new kind of heat. Paying homage to Frances Bebey, William Onyeabor and Lijadu Sisters, the Melbourne-based Afro-synth duo delivers energetic melodies, deep grooves and addictive chants – led by a less-is-more manifesto. Featuring quirky synthesizers and 1970s drum machines, the result is a sonic landscape that feels fresh and unique, yet somehow familiar. Wrong Way Up comprises vocalists/songwriters Emmanuela Degery and ADP. With dynamic collaborations with Tony Espie (The Avalanches, Pookie) on mixing, Steele Bonus (Efficient Space, Music From Memory) on graphics/artwork, Atong Atem on photography and Luca Schenardi (Tame Impala, John Carroll Kirby) on artwork, this heady mix of artists ensures that Wrong Way Up is the right way to get down.
