SERENGETI with support from Ceiling Demons & Faithful Johannes x Neocia
Serengeti, aka David Cohn is a prolific rap artist from Chicago Illinois, with a rich back catalogue of underground classics and an ever growing collection of new releases. 2025 sees his first live shows in the UK since 2018. Over the years Geti has created the epic alter ego Kenny Dennis character and crafted a deeply compelling storyline around his life - with the underground classic track Denney being the birth point. Serengeti has collaborated with the likes of Kenny Segal, Sufjan Stevens, Son Lux, Bon Iver, Open Mike Eagle, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Greg from Deerhoof, Jenny Lewis and Yoni Wolf of WHY? amongst others. Some of his work has been featured in television shows like The Bear, cinema & commercials.
Ceiling Demons, an art-rap/spoken word band from Richmond North Yorkshire, UK, formed amid grief. Influenced by the likes of Kae Tempest, Nick Cave, and Tricky, twin brothers Psy Ceiling and Dan Demon deliver poetic lyrics over diverse instrumentals—from acoustic to experimental. Their intense, chaotic performances explore love, loss, and mental health, partnering with charities like CALM. They've supported acts like Young Fathers, Sleaford Mods, Ceschi Ramos & Apes of the State praise from Louder Than War and NARC. Magazine. Live shows feature Art Demon creating art on stage. Their last album, SNAKES & LADDERS, released via Butterfly Effect and Fake Four Inc., blends genres and features contributions from Lee Scratch Perry and others.
Faithful Johannes x Neocia make their return to Darlo after the release of last years collaborative album 'The House At Night' which explores childhood, family, and parental angst with poetic finesse. Crafted in a Lynchian style with casual yet profound lyricism from FJ complemented by producer Neocia’s atmospheric electronic sounds, creating vivid moodscapes throughout. BBC 6 Music critic Tom Robinson calls him “great” and a “charismatic live performer,” while Deb Grant praises his work as “clever, authentic, and affecting.”
