Bio
Tamango Records is the imprint of Italian acclaimed DJ and producer Yaya. Born in Berlin in 2016, the label absorbed all the different flavours from that vibrant city in its spectrum, affirming as a leader in the house and minimal underground scene. Relocated in Lisbon a few years later, its sonorities include seductive funk-loaded low ends, rolling percussions, and delicious hypnotic licks while remaining loyal to an elegant but energetic dancefloor attitude.
The label comes from the special secret cocktail, Tamango, created and served exclusively by Yaya’s family in their Turin pub for over 40 years. While its recipe is unknown, it’s clear that Tamango Records’ ingredients include rolling, energetic percussions and groovy basslines, making each party a pure, joyful moment.
Over the years, Tamango Records has seen some of the biggest names in electronic panorama stepping up for a release. Among these are Loco Dice, Manda Moor, Cuartero, Toman, Sidney Charles, Fleur Shore, Prunk, Rossi, Mahony, and Late Replies, each staying true to the label’s no-boundaries sound without losing their unique touch. The label’s compelling desire to make people dance has given life to a series of showcases that have touched base all over the world, including New York, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Medellin, Panama, Milan, Berlin, and London, becoming synonymous with good times on the dancefloor.
