Koko Electronic: Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano

On 17 July 2026 at KOKO, London, Amsterdam duo Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano step in with a sound honed on the club circuit. Active since the late 2000s, they sit at the crossroads of house and progressive, rooted in drum-led tribal patterns, Latin-tinged rhythms and a straight-ahead, dancefloor-first approach. Their sets ride on layered percussion, rolling basslines and vocal hooks used for momentum, with patient builds that flip into tight, grooving drops engineered for movement rather than spectacle.

Alongside constant touring, the pair shape their identity through SONO Music, their Armada-linked imprint, a home base for the percussive threads that run through their releases and into their 2023 album, Fundamentals. In the booth, that catalogue turns into a fast, fluid narrative: new tracks, reworks and their own edits threaded with selections from across the modern house spectrum. Years on big festival stages and Ibiza rooms sharpened their sense of tension and release; in a venue like KOKO, they compress it into an intimate, high-velocity workout where drums lead and groove does the talking.
