DJ Polo - Spiralling

DJ Polo ft. Ramzee - Funky Party

Following on from DJ Polo’s raucous, genre-defying statement, Look Back to Move Forward, Club Djembe friends and family don their best shirts and shoes for the VIP Lounge release.

Truly an all-star cast, VIP Lounge brings together a group of London-based producers all deeply rooted in the city’s ever-developing musical history: from Soulful House and UK Funky to the latest waves of Afrohouse, Amapiano and Funkyama. 

Paying homage to the more extravagant side of London’s underground house scene, the tracks are united by airy harmonies and sultry red-carpet grooves. But, even between the champagne flutes, they never lose an underlying sense of grit and bass-weight that keeps them all perfectly primed for the club.

Razzler Man - I Need You

Producer, singer, long-time DJ, resident on Rinse France and previously spotted collaborating with fellow London fusionist Akito, @noire_uk makes his Djembe debut with two fine-tuned workouts that celebrate all the roots that move and inspire the Djembe label and parties. ‘Body Drunk’ takes the lead; a prime time club piece that wriggles and writhes amid UK funky, Kuduro, Afrobeat and classic Tribal House with its driving drums and yearning vocal from NOIRE himself.

It’s backed by ‘Deep Thinker’ which strips back even more elements to bare more of the young UK artist’s soul. Cosmic bruk for the 23rd century, laced with a little alien electro charm, a deep, beguiling mood and that all important hypnotic percussion Club Djembe is known for, this will live up to its name and twists as many heads as it does hips when dropped in the later hours. Enjoy.

We wanted to launch the second season of the Club Djembe Mix Series with something a bit special, so we invited J Oh Zee down to switch it up, swap the Magnum for the Martini, and start the season with a half hour, high energy mix jam packed full of UK Funky & AmaPiano.

Obsession sees KG exploring a meditative, hypnotic style, melding UK Funky’s organ stabs and vocal clips with a laidback South African house-inflected percussive bed, all kept rolling along by a powerful sub.

KG - Obsession

The label’s inaugural release – Club Djembe Vol. 1 – was a five track mini-compilation featuring KG, Bamz, Say3, DJ Polo & Lobby, and Dean Lyon. The second release introduced Colombian-via-London producer and DJ duo CXLI to the fold for a four-track solo EP.
For the third release and second instalment of the compilation series – Club Djembe Vol. 2 – the crew have brought together another group of their favourite artists and influences: from long-time label inspiration Hagan, LA mainstay Bianca Oblivion, and prolific London radio spinner DJ Tess, to local Bristol heroes DJ Polo, Wilfy D and RnB vocalist Pariah.
DJ Polo opens the compilation with the swerving funky house of Doldrums, easy chord stabs darting between taut drums. Following on from his recent EP on Jamz Supernova’s Future Bounce label, Hagan hits full producer-virtuoso stride with his contribution, Splash, which rolls from a lean-back bass groove into chords that’ll be sure to melt through even the tightest lockdown tension. Wilfy D enlists Leeds-born, Bristol-raised singer-songwriter Pariah for Victory, a stunning call-back to the golden age of UK funky vocal bangers.
Bianca Oblivion’s Calling takes the compilation from the socially distanced cook-out to the harder territory of the 2am live-stream, melding the saturated stomps of dutch bubbling house with a hypnotic vocal hook. DJ Tess finishes the release on a ravey high, carving a dextrous triplet-snare hook out of a stadium-sized intro with Veleno.
