William Onyeabor

A record that doesn’t play so much as it detonates.

Atomic Bomb is Afro-futurism before the term had a passport—raw, defiant, and gloriously unpolished. William Onyeabor bends cheap synths into cosmic weapons, locking primitive drum machines and hypnotic basslines into grooves that feel both ritualistic and revolutionary. The songs stretch, repeat, and intensify like incantations, daring you to stay inside the loop until it takes hold.

There’s a beautiful tension here: joy wrapped in menace, funk laced with prophecy. Political without slogans, spiritual without sermon, this is music that pulses with urgency and mystery, as if beamed in from a parallel Lagos where disco, protest, and science fiction collapse into one.

Atomic Bomb isn’t nostalgia—it’s a warning and a celebration at the same time. A cult classic that still sounds dangerous, still sounds future-facing, and still feels like nothing else on Earth.
