A host of Liverpool's finest DJs are set to play after parties for Africa Oye over the two days of the festival weekend after the main events in Sefton Park on 21st and 22nd of June. 

The Saturday sees two shows - one at the traditional Oye after party home of District, and another at a nearby secret location, in association with  local stalwarts Hustle.  

 

Skiddle Mix 045 - Rich Furness (Abandon Silence Classics) by Skiddle on Mixcloud

 

District will reverberate to the sounds of reggae, dub, hip hop and more, with DJs including Liverpool’s own No Fakin DJs and Rich Furness serving up the goods (you can listen to the latter's brilliant mix for us above), alongside some guests from out of town.  

A stones throw from there, the ever dependable Hustle crew takeover the secret space, with DJs James Morgan, RoBaSca and Madnice Marauders, plus live percussion, for a night of Deep Afro House, Afrobeat & Tropical Grooves.  

Sunday’s final fling at District is in association with Root and Rebel Soul – and will be seeing Africa Oye 2014 off in fine style with DJs including Buddha, Sir Troyan and Carnivalesque, plus a dancehall set from Horza, taking things through to the small hours. 

All proceeds from the after parties go towards keeping the Africa Oyé festival a free event - open to all. Tickets for the afterparties can be found at the following links:
