Ahadadream and Capo Lee demand ‘Put That Banger On Next’ 

Ahadadream and Capo Lee have joined forces on new single ‘Put That Banger On Next’.

The track merges a beat blending UK soundsystem music styles with global club influences with an easygoing flow from Capo Lee.

“Moving over from Pakistan when I was younger and hearing UK music at underage raves in Stevenage for the first time blew my mind. Grime classics like ‘Pow;, jungle anthems like ‘Original Nuttah’ and later UK funky like ‘Seasons’ by Lil Silva really changed my life,” says Ahadadream. “Grime was always the most formative club music for me when I first started going out in London to nights like Butterz at Cable. When I became more active in the scene as a promoter, DJ and radio host, I crossed paths with Capo a lot through radio and have always loved his flow, it was only a matter of time before we linked up on a tune.”
