Low driving grooves combine with meandering plucks, tight percussion and hi-tec production to create this energy-laden banger from DJ Gamba and Smit. We welcome the two aboard as they share this 6-minute dancefloor-primed cut with us.
DJ Gamba is no stranger to Trommel as we premiered the debut release on his self-titled vinyl outfit GAMBA001 back in September. The wax release featured modern takes on classic house sounds with some cheeky vocal samples from well-known tracks, a recipe for tracks to make most any dancefloor bounce up and down.
Smit, a on the other hand, is a newcomer to Trommel who has joined forces with DJ Gamba to bring his soulful and mellow sound, which blends elements of R&B, jazz, and hip-hop. Hailing from the Netherlands, Smit has cut his teeth as a music producer and songwriter becoming known for his introspective lyrics and smooth tastes.
DJ Gamba, whose real name is Kevin Gamba, is a Kenyan-born DJ and music producer. He is known for his work in the African music industry, particularly in the genres of Afro-pop, Afro-house, and Afrobeat. Gamba started his music career in Nairobi, where he began to hone his skills as a DJ. He later moved to South Africa, where he established himself as one of the most sought-after DJs in the country.
Gamba’s music is characterized by its upbeat tempo and catchy rhythms. His tracks are heavily influenced by traditional African music, and he often incorporates elements of traditional instruments such as the kalimba, marimba, and djembe into his productions. Some of his most popular tracks include ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Kwacha’, which have received widespread airplay and have been played in clubs and festivals around the world.
While DJ Gamba and Smit’s music may seem vastly different at first glance, they share a common passion for creating music that resonates with their audiences. Both artists are known for their ability to connect with their listeners through their music, whether it’s through the high-energy beats of DJ Gamba or the introspective lyrics of Smit. Keep an eye on these two in times to come.
