Born out of a deep love for the dancefloor, Wrong Way Up channel vintage Afro disco and psychedelic boogie to bring a new kind of heat.

Paying homage to Frances Bebey, William Onyeabor and Lijadu Sisters, the Melbourne-based Afro-synth duo delivers energetic melodies, deep grooves and addictive chants – led by a less-is-more manifesto. Featuring quirky synthesizers and 1970s drum machines, the result is a sonic landscape that feels fresh and unique, yet somehow familiar.

Wrong Way Up comprises vocalists/songwriters Emma D and ADP.

Signing to renowned UK based record label Soundway Records, Wrong Way Up’s debut album ‘Totally Right’ was released in February 2025 on Soundway Records.

Quickly garnering a reputation for their high-energy live show, Wrong Way Up have brought the boogie to WOMADelaide, A Festival Called Panama, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, JerkFest, When Pigs Fly with plenty more yet-to-be announced shows lined up for 2025 and beyond.
