Back to Mine With Eli Fola

Eli Fola hails from Nigeria and has pioneered his own Yoruba tech soul sound. The now LA-based DJ, producer, sound artist and sax player blends Afro culture with plenty of his own spirituality and is inspired by everything from Highlife to Jeff Mills. He has shared the stage with international stars from the hip-hop world, as well as Black Coffee, Pablo Fierro and Audiofly, so is a true leader in his field. As his new Afro House single, ‘Lagos Mentality’, drops on Connected, DMCWorld goes Back To Mine with Eli Fola.
