Le Motel & Magugu (live)

In the crossroads of pulsating bass and raw lyrical fire, Le Motel & Magugu weave a sonic tapestry that transcends borders. Their collaboration is an unfiltered dialogue between rhythm and voice, where tribal echoes, deep basslines, and sharp lyricism collide to create something both ancient and futuristic.

From the streets of Brussels, where Le Motel sculpts textures drawn from the far corners of the world, to the dynamic fusion of cultures in the UK and Nigeria, where British-Nigerian artist Magugu channels the weight of tradition with the urgency of now—their union is a sauvage dance of influences, beats, and stories. Together, they summon the spirit of UK garage, grime, afrobeat, and jungle, merging them into a singular, undeniable force.  Their journey has left its mark on some of the most electrifying stages in Europe. From the underground energy of Garage Noord in Amsterdam, the cutting-edge atmosphere of Razzmatazz in Barcelona, to the immersive landscapes of Dour Festival in Belgium and the legendary Boiler Room, and the forward-thinking Positive Education Festival in France, their performances are not just concerts—they are rituals of sound, movement, and connection.

This is more than music. This is a call to move, to feel, to listen beyond language—into the very essence of rhythm itself.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see them at Refractor 2025!
