It's been four years of intense touring since the last time B2KDA released an album and this October, we get to hear the culmination of that effort.
The band has changed from Batucada Sound Machine to B2KDA. It's lost old members and gained new. It's been exposed to the best and worst of what life as a musician can throw at you but has emerged stronger, more determined and yet still true to what has made this band the force it has been for 12 years now.
B2KDA is 'Rising' once again.
A new sound has been developed over the years drawing on the hundreds of different experiences the band has had. The lessons of the road and the highs of meeting great people around the world to share their music.
From the clubs of Berlin to the night markets of Seoul, jam nights in London to festivals in the bush in Australia, sharing the stage with giants to meeting a new school of artists. All of this has combined into what the band has spent a year crafting. The new album 'Rising'.
It'll be released worldwide on October 9th and features the singles, Can't Give You (What You're Asking For) and Same Old Thing.

The boys will be joined on the night by the fantastic Yoko-Zuna.
Yoko-Zuna represents a melting pot of genres, inspirations, influences and cultures. Taking their sound to a unique place, they have roots in the realms of electronic, hip-hop and soul, heritage from Samoa, Bangladesh, Korea and Japan and draw on influences from a diverse range of artists including Daft Punk, James Blake, Flying Lotus, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Erykah Badu and Kendrick Lamar, alongside the local scene.
