TAMANGO AT FABRIC LONDON
Tamango has had many special shows around the world, but one that recently stood out was at the legendary Fabric London club on Sunday, June 30th. At this iconic venue, renowned for its exceptional sound system and vibrant atmosphere, Yaya played an all-night-long set, which could not have been a better experience.
The anticipation leading up to the event was in- tense, with fans eagerly awaiting the marathon set that promised to take them on a journey through Tamango’s diverse sonic landscape. This night was a perfect blend of musical exploration and connec- tion with a young, enthusiastic, and heterogeneous crowd, making it a truly memorable event.
“When I received the invitation to play an all-ni- ght-long set, I felt very grateful and excited be- cause it gave me the opportunity to showcase the wide spectrum of sounds that represent me instead of just playing for 2 or 3 hours as I usually do. While preparing for the show, I made sure to go through each one of the hundreds of demos I receive on Trackstack and via email, while also rediscovering some gems I hadn’t played in a while. Besides that, I added some of the next releases on my labels Tamango Records and Tamango Xpress, plus some unreleased bombs from up-and-coming artists. I really like to play and support music by newcomers; it feels like a tribute to those who once supported my tracks and a way to give back to the new newcomers in this industry.”
“We announced this event just a few days before the actual date, but I immediately received many messages from friends, fans, and colleagues with words of encouragement. When the day finally arrived, I was a bit nervous, but both my team and Fabric’s team assured me that it would be a night to remember, and they weren’t wrong! What a show that was... I started at 11 PM with an empty dance floor, slowly setting the vibe, and ended with the club full, playing for almost six hours until 4:30 AM. Thinking of my first years behind the decks, I obviously have great respect for the resident DJs who know how to set the mood in the best way, as I was one of them for a long time; that’s why it was a bit strange but definitely pleasant to do a warm-up set for myself. Later, as the dance floor started filling up, I raised the bpm and energy, closing the set the way I like the most on such a clean and powerful sound system as Fabric’s.”
Yaya’s experience at Fabric London was nothing but extraordinary: his ability to maintain the energy and interest of the crowd for almost six hours. His trademark rolling, hypnotic grooves unfolded in the tunnels of the historic club, finding a way to hit each attendee’s mind, body, and soul. Smiles were all over the place, hands in the air from start to finish. Without a doubt, it was an unforgettable night for
everyone present. Text by: Sergio Niño
