CLUB CHAI is a record label, event series and curatorial project founded by 8ULENTINA and Lara Sarkissian (fka FOOZOOL) in Oakland, California. CLUB CHAI centers diasporic artists with the intention of carving out sounds and spaces that consider the ways we build narratives as a reflection of our current and future selves. We believe in the transformative abilities of storytelling through sound and honoring its creation of genres and movements for marginalized people throughout the history of electronic music. Through our label releases and projects we hope to contribute to this archive and history.
CLUB CHAI hosted regular events in Oakland and San Francisco while participating in an international network of artists and collaborators. CLUB CHAI held showcases in New York City and London, and have also presented at Unsound Festival Krakow (2019), Mexico City, Milan, and a UK tour in collaboration with TT label. The label hosted shows and streams on NTS radio, Rinse FM, Lower Grand Radio, and Boiler Room.

AyyMello brings some of the most unique styles stemming from his background in the Baltimore Club Dance and Music scenes. Originally born in Brooklyn, NY, Mello migrated to Baltimore, MD at an early age. With embracing Baltimore, his love for the city's signature music and dancing became second-nature, and lead him to following this path into his career today.

AyyMello, now a self-taught producer of Baltimore Club Music, began to expand his talent by making notable songs as "Kangaroo Booty" and "Bmore Horns 2017" featuring Thunderbird Juicebox. Under the mentoring of Baltimore Club legend, Michael "Mc Mumblez" Foster, under management of the talent agency Bmore Than Dance, LLC. In AyyMello's rookie year of DJing, he performed at several historical events throughout the city [Artscape (2016-2018), Light City Festival (2017-2018), Red Bull Amaphiko After Party featuring Blaqstarr (2017)] and still going strong with weekly and monthly bookings within the city.
 
Coming from being introduced to the sound of Baltimore Club in the DJ K-Swift era up until now, AyyMello's sound incorporates the rawness from the new generation he grew up in and the original "groove" that made him fall in love with it in the first place. After years of involvement with B-More Than Dance as a competitor in the annual “King of Baltimore Club Music Dance Competition, he finally accomplished one of his childhood dreams and won the King of Baltimore 8 championship match in 2018. Now as a mentor, instructor, and one of the DJs within the agency, his motivation to spread awareness and knowledge to the new generation coming into what he has experienced is being realized. "One day, the city will get the groove back, but at the end of the day, they'll hear what WE sound like," stated by Mello. If not already familiar, the world will soon know who he is and we hope that you stay tuned for what's in store.
