Eight Emerging Artists On Our Radar: June 2024

The French-Cameroonian artist, promoter and DJ Bamao Yendé makes his debut release on Club Djembe with some new future-afro sounds. The Dios Mio EP, out on June 14th, is the artist’s most ambitious project to date, with an intoxicating fusion of bass-heavy and marginalised sounds. With a heady and unique mixture of garage, breakbeat, Kuduro, highlife, batida and more, Yendé seamlessly fuses percussive and industrial rhythms with funk, groove and creativity. For an idea of his style, check out his latest radio show on NTS, full of unreleased tracks, and check out his latest interview with Metal Magazine where he talks about his inspiration and production process. With tons more releases in the pipeline, Bamao Yendé’s about to become one of France’s most sought-after artists.
