Odion Iruoje has been played on NTS in shows including Full House, featured first on 20 August 2016. Songs played include Identify With Your Root (Which One You De?), Anogo - Giri and Identify With Your Root.

Iruoje is credited as being the man who signed Fela Kuti to EMI Nigeria and produced all of Fela’s revolutionary early material from 1970-73. His first job upon being taken on by EMI Nigeria in 1969 was to be sent to London on a work experience placement at their London studios in St. Johns Wood. When he arrived he was pitched straight in at the deep-end, finding The Beatles deep in the recording of their Abbey Road album. He also signed and produced most of the great body of Nigerian material on the EMI label including BLO, Mono-Mono, Tunji Oyelana (who adds vocals on his album Down to Earth), Ofege, Geraldo Pino, Sonny Okosuns and many many more.

Part disco, part Nigerian rap, Afro-funk & Juju he created a unique and at times eccentric blend of Nigerian music that certainly deserves a deeper listen.
