Florence Adooni at Maida Vale

Gilles shares a session from vocalist Florence Adooni and her band. Plus, a selection of Gilles’ favourite music released this year and tracks from the 2025 Maida Vale sessions.

Gilles shares an uplifting session from Ghanaian vocalist Florence Adooni and her band, including an exclusive unreleased track. Florence Adooni’s debut album, A.O.E.I.U. (An Ordinary Exercise In Unity), was released earlier this year. Her music is rooted in the rich traditions of Ghana’s Fra Fra culture and propelled by the cosmic production from Philophon Records’ Max Weissenfeldt.

Elsewhere in the show, Gilles spins a selection of his favourite music from this year, including Les Sons du Cosmos, Maurice Louca and Céline Dessberg, and selects the best tracks from the 2025 Maida Vale sessions.
