Lito Akari — multi-dimensional hustler and producer with roots in Berlin and Istanbul — delivers laid-back joints infused with elements of neo-soul, jazz, and G-funk. Working largely sample-free, his productions favor warm textures and beat-driven arrangements. As part of Berlin’s artist collective Block Opera - All Songs, Lito has collaborated with acclaimed producers such as Dexter, Smoke Trees, and other artists from the contemporary jazz- and hip-hop-influenced beat scene.
Akari Raheem is the experimental music project of Lito Akari and F. Raheem. The sophomore double album Radio — comprising the companion releases Radio 99.8 and Radio 99.9 — broadcasts on two frequencies, pairing the duo’s jazz-influenced beats with electronic and experimental sounds, alongside a wide range of collaborations with producers and vocalists across genres such as hip-hop, ambient and soul.
Akari Raheem’s debut album Lost In Variations laid the foundation for the duo’s sample-free blend of jazz-influenced beats, contemporary instrumental music, and cinematic textures.
