Retromigration
- Sunday Barefoot Stage
Retromigration has emerged as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary house music, crafting a sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly original. Born in Germany with Nigerian and Ghanaian roots and now based in Amsterdam, he draws from a rich musical background that spans jazz, hip-hop, soul, funk and electronic music.
A classically trained bassist from a young age, Retromigration approaches production with the mindset of a musician and a storyteller. His tracks effortlessly blend influences from different eras and cultures, reinterpreting familiar sounds into something distinctly his own. Releases on respected labels such as Love On The Rocks, Rhythm Section and Wolf Music have earned him support from tastemakers including BBC Radio 1, NTS, Worldwide FM and Mixmag.
As a DJ, he brings the same sense of exploration to the dancefloor, weaving together house, broken rhythms, jazz-infused grooves and soulful textures into sets that feel both deeply rooted and forward-thinking. Whether in intimate clubs or on international festival stages, Retromigration’s music reflects a constant process of evolution -always curious, always moving forward.
