Bringing his African ethnic roots together with his good Italian taste, Tamango Records boss Yaya is one of the hottest names in the electronic music scene. Yaya grew up in Turin, where the tunes of his father - percussionist and leading voice of the “M’bamina” ensemble - helped him to discover his inner sense of rhythm, thus starting his relationship with music at an early age and performing as a drummer around the city. Since joining the mighty Desolat family back in 2009, he never stopped moving between the biggest meccas of European electronic music, playing at the best clubs and festivals from all over the world. Besides his unique DJ sets, Yaya is also a prolific producer: after releasing on some of the most respected underground labels, he went on and in 2016 founded his own imprint Tamango Records which has seen names from the likes of Loco Dice, Enzo Siragusa, Cuartero, Rich NxT, Cassy, Toman, and S.A.M. to name a few.

Samu.l steps out of the shadows after a two year hiatus.

He emerges with a refined underground sound. Developed from going back to basics and digging for hard to find vinyl records. Spanning a variety of house and techno sub-genres, he retains his trademark style and effortless groove.

In a music career almost two decades deep, Samu.l has played some of the best clubs and events in the world. Every room at fabric and FUSE in London. Watergate and Renate in Berlin. New York. Ibiza. Moscow. Johannesburg. And many major cities across Europe.

Having recently built a new studio you can expect new music from him soon.

I am a Deep and Garage House music DJ/producer from the south coast of England with releases on labels such as Pirate Cutz, Amigo Dubs, Big Knuckle, Abstrakt Records, Friktion, Miffed Out, Maison, Foundations, and Selecta.

My DJ journey began in the 90s, starting with Hardcore and Breakbeat before finding my true passion in House and Garage. During the late 90s, I worked at a record shop, eventually becoming the head buyer for UK Garage, which allowed me to amass an impressive collection of records. My involvement in pirate radio, however, led to everything being confiscated—an unfortunate but memorable part of my story.

Despite the setback, my love for dance music never waned. I continued buying music and eventually gravitated towards soulful Deep House. After a hiatus, the lockdown period reignited my passion, and I dedicated time to learning music production. Since then, I have proudly released several tracks and have reconnected with the vibrant underground garage scene. I'm excited about future releases and the ongoing journey of my musical career.

Urbi's creative journey began as a dancer, singer, and musician and she's shown no signs of slowing down since her first DJ set in 2023, with a residency on Reform Radio, and regular sets around the UK as a resident DJ for NOT BAD FOR A GIRL and DO AS YOU PLEASE. 

She's shared stages with many artists who have been instrumental in shaping her own musical identity including Lauryn Hill, Black Coffee, Kerri Chandler, Disclosure, Cinthie, Dennis Quin, Brawther, TSHA, salute, DJ Senc and Just Jam. She's already known for her dynamic sets and her commitment to inclusivity in house and electronic music and with her debut release 'Play It Back' receiving great reviews, the future looks promising for Urbi.
