CLUB YEKE - DJ Diaki / Tash LC / Vinnau / Living Gatlato

Thursday 11 June Club Yeke returns to one of our favourite independent spaces in London with a lineup of our dreams

A one-off evening of sounds and scenes from across the globe, enmeshed in hypnotic, high-tempo territory linking Mali to Brazil via Algeria and Jamaica

Heading up things is DJ Diaki, one of the key figures behind Mali’s Balani Show movement and longtime Nyege Nyege affiliate. Emerging from street parties and social ceremonies outside Bamako, Diaki’s sets pull together rapid-fire balafon loops, blown-out percussion and live remixes that push traditional sounds into club-ready weapons unlike anything you’ve ever heard

A local hero - London via Marseille’s Living Gatlato moves fluidly through underground rap, BR funk, bouyon and dancehall with the kind of ease that only comes from deep digging.

Vinnau is flying in from Brasilia, representing Brazilian Funk to the fullest - connecting the dots between its history and current ever expanding mutations

Joining them is Yeke founder Tash LC, whose sets and ear for curation have consistently mapped out new connections across Afro-Caribbean, Latin American and UK club sounds.

Intimate space, heavy system and endurance test pending
