Coby Sey is a musician, producer, and DJ from South-East London who offers a shifting, disorienting vision of club music. Coby Sey’s distinguished presence in London has elicited a bold impression of his compositions and performances and the attention of acclaimed artists and collaborators Tirzah, Mica Levi, Kwes, Babyfather, Kelly Lee Owens, and Klein. Sey’s music – as best evidenced on Whities 010: Transport for Lewisham and River – is reflective of his vast spectrum of influences, yet he remains undeniably himself; experimenting with live instrumentation and electronic-based productions, melding sounds with introspective lyrics into dubbed-out anesthesia.

Live, these dreamlike compositions are imbued with heavy, uneasy dancefloor energy, often abetted by live vocals as well as saxophone interjections c/o regular cohorts Ben Vince and CJ Calderwood. Coby’s open-door approach to sharing and making music stretches to his work with London collective CURL, founded with Mica Levi and Brother May, who release records and host events with a collaborative, improvisatory approach, as well as a regular slot on NTS which offers a portal into his appealingly murky musical world.
