About the Event
Chiminyo is a drummer, producer, composer and percussionist. An active member of the London jazz scene and beyond, Tim’s musical explorations have taken him from Jazz to Drum & Bass, from West African percussion to composing music for films.
With this innovative, solo endeavour, Chiminyo has been labeled ‘one of the boldest percussionists in the country’ (Clash Magazine). From behind his drum kit – via laboriously self-coded software – each cymbal crash and drum hit triggers a synth or sample from his laptop. This has lead to endorsements from Roland and Bosphorous Cymbals, as well as becoming an Ableton artist.
Critically-acclaimed by the likes of Gilles Peterson and played on BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, Jazz FM and more. He has been nominated for the Jazz FM Digital Award and the Worldwide FM Award ‘Track of the Year 2020’.
He is also a key member of renowned bands Maisha and Cykada with both projects achieving popular and critical acclaim. Leading to a life full of touring the globe and releasing records on notable labels such as Brownswood, Gearbox, Nightdreamer and Astigmatic. Whilst collaborating with a myriad of world-class musicians; Shabaka Hutchins, Gary Bartz, Nubya Garcia, Theon Cross and Zara Mcfarlane to name a few.

Support comes from XVNGO, a pioneering saxophonist and producer, at the forefront of the JAZZ DRILL and POST-TRAP genres. These constitute a fusion of classical, trap, jazz, drill, hip-hop and electronic forms of music. All drawn from the dynamic sounds of SOUTH LONDON. The Burgeoning Jazz Drill Genre is beginning to attract attention, with the likes of Kojey Radical, Liam Bailey and Julian Joseph showing their approval.
XVNGO’s music also reflects the intellectual conundrums of times both past and present. Ranging all the way from modern neuroscience to ancient philosophical dilemmas. XVNGO’s music is a reflection of a mind caught in an endless pursuit of knowledge.
He also plays for artists: Joe Armon-Jones and Tara Lily. Plays in the bands: KOKOROKO and Levitation Orchestra. And is band leader of the intrepid Hypernova Militia.
