Ahead of his Lucent Live set, I talked to Peckham’s genre-bending musician Sam Akpro, whose sound fuses murky trip-hop, lulling guitar chords, and a “pick-and-mix” fluidity rooted in South London’s sonic collage. In a profile shaped by texture and memory, I traced how he’s navigating legacy and experimentation, insisting on music that moves both body and mind.
“If you’re that good of an artist, you can put out an album and leave for a few years. Frank Ocean did that and you can still listen to his work now. It’s just about taking the time with your music.”
– Sam Akpro
