Tokyo Escorts: LISTENING POST: LIVE The "G" is silent, but the night won’t be
Let’s get one thing out of the way: The first “G” in Gbenga Adelekan’s name is silent. Great. The Nigerian-born musician is getting ready to show Japanese fans two sides of his musical persona when he storms Tokyo next week.

Proving himself seems a genuine quest. He’s proud to be a part of Metronomy, but thinks his own musical ventures “should stand on their own.” He finds DJing to be very personal, and if Tokyo’s crowds are able to find their own space in the music, he’ll have succeeded. (Matthew Holmes)
Metronomy play Daikanyama Unit in Tokyo on Jan. 16 (¥5,500) and Olugbenga headlines the Tokyo Indie event on Jan. 20 at Trump Room in Shibuya, Tokyo (¥3,000). Japanese site Block.fm hosts an exclusive Olugbenga DJ set on Jan 14 between 11 p.m. and midnight.
