A colossus of the funk & soul world, Adam Gibbons (aka Lack of Afro) has been releasing music for 17 years and continues to go from strength to strength. None more so than with his eighth album under the Lack of Afro moniker, Square One. The release featured Loving Arms, his first single to land on the BBC Radio 6 Music playlist.

Previously signed to Freestyle Records in London and running his own label The Bastion Music Group since 2015, he has been responsible for some of the genre’s most important releases, not least his debut album Press On, described by iDJ as one of the most important albums of the modern funk era and more recently given ‘classic’ status by Future Music Magazine.
