"Boca means mouth in Portuguese. I first created the track for a contemporary dance piece called Teka (Take it in Shangani) and there is a segment in the piece that we called ‘Boca’ just for reference. Ha_Kwai, a Portuguese producer, saw the premiere of Teka in Maputo (Mozambique). He liked the sonics of it and suggested we should collaborate on the track. We produced the track together in a studio session for Kongoloti Records. It was the two of us jamming to ideas and recording it in real time, actually we were performing the track and recorded it. Every layer was added in real time. When the session ended we had a 30min track so we had to cut it short. I think Ha_kwai still has the 30min version somewhere."

Advent Calendar 2020 - in aid of You Make It and Project Protect,
released December 26, 2020
One new, unreleased track every day of the Advent, donated by some of our favourite artists.
This year we’ve chosen to split profits from the release between two charities, both of whom are doing important work within their respective fields.
The first charity is London-based organisation You Make It, a creative programme that offers young women access to tools, networks and experiences — group learning, 1-1 mentoring, work experience, start-up support and 1-1 pastoral support — giving them the confidence to transform their lives through personal empowerment.
The second is Nigeria-based initiative Project Protect, a subdivision of Burna Boy’s charitable NGO The Reach, launched to help provide financial, medical and legal resources for EndSars protestors during and after the protests.
