Oslo World x Frædag: Riria, Djembe Tekno (Sidiki Camara + Tore Gjedrem) Live + G-Ha & Olanskii

Riria  

Ririria is a Tokyo-born, London-based DJ with a natural connection to the dance floor. Growing up immersed in Tokyo’s club scene, she developed a style rooted in UK sounds, where Amapiano, Jersey Club, and Dub mix smoothly with commercial hits, cult classics, and underground gems. Her selections are unpredictable —tracks from different eras and scenes come together in a way that feels both effortless and fresh. Her sets are all about energy and good vibes, making sure fun is always the priority.

Her Boiler Room Tokyo 2024 set put Riria on the global map as a forward-thinking DJ. It reached nearly a million views in five weeks, with several tracks going viral after being featured in her set. The performance quickly caught the attention of music and culture media worldwide, from France to South Korea, expanding her reach and confirming her status as an artist to watch.

Djembe Tekno (Sidiki Camara + Tore Gjedrem) 

Djembe Tekno is a new project from Tore Gjedrem (Ost & Kjex/Sex Judas) and Malian percussionist and musician extraordinaire, Sidiki Camara. Djembe Tekno will release their debut album “Teriya” on Snick Snack Music on October 31. – a highly danceable and funky fusion of West African rhythms and contemporary club sounds. 

Sidiki Camara’s main instrument djembe runs like a river through the album, so does his singing in his Malian native tongue with chants and blessings, driving the music forward. The duo uses traditional instruments like balafon, ngoni and talking drums, cooking up a brew combining inspiration from UK Bass music, Batida, House, Techno and Breaks with African music traditions rooted in Mali. 

g-HA & Olanskii

Two pivotal bodies in the sphere of Norwegian electronic music, g-HA & Olanskii are an event, a club, a DJ duo, and a musical authority for Norway. Individually adept as DJ, selectors and tastemaker, Ola “Olanskii” Smith-Simonsen and Geir “g-HA” Holger’s musical voices unified for Sunkissed, an events series that has become the backbone of Oslo’s electronic music scene and beyond. They have played a fundamental role in the development of Norwegian music abroad with residencies at Panorama Bar, Fabric, Robert Johnson, Into the Valley and Moog, where they’ve given fellow Norwegian artists a platform to the outside world, proving to be a motivational force behind Oslo and Norway’s thriving electronic music scene, through Sunkissed and more recently through Jæger – the club founded by Olanskii and host to their internationally acclaimed Frædag residencies
