Jabo is a born and bred Belgian, but his music provides a hint as to his origins.
 His productions imprinted elements of bass music with sample-heavy, loopy North African and Middle Eastern music, which placed him at the forefront of a generation of innovative and fresh producers in Belgium.  The “Moroccan Bass” sound, as Jabo calls it, defined his well acclaimed debut EP, « Harissa » which appeared on Lowup records in 2015. Its successor, « Sonic Mizwid », displayed a more terse and introspective strand to his sonic identity.
Subsequently a steady stream of releases followed on labels such as Lowup Records, Byrd Out, Crown Collective and Generation Bass to name a few. 

Fueled by the need to explore other horizons he took some time off from music to experiment with other media and outlets. 
In 2020 he returns to the music scene and takes us back on an eclectic trip to the late 90s with his forthcoming Bub El Ghum EP. Cutting and pasting influences from Eurodance, Rave and North African rythms, Jabo uses them all as a springboard for a fun and unique club-oriented sound. 

(FR) Jawad Boumalek a.k.a Jabo s’est très rapidement fait une place sur de la scène Arabo-electro. Jabo produit mélange la musique du Maghreb, avec des beats UK et des synthés colorés. Repéré par le label Bruxellois Lowup, sur lequel il a pu sortir ses deux premiers EP intitulés Harissa et Sonic Mizwid, il est aujourd’hui reconnu comme un des producteurs les plus innovants de Belgique.
Son style unique unique lui attire les louanges des plus grands artistes du genre comme Acid Arab, A-trak ou Dj Snake.
