about

"Champeta La Voladora is a journey through the musical cosmos of Colombia"
DJ Mag

"Dani Boom is the Colombian equivalent of our Laurent Garnier; and that is why his EP is a must for this spring"
BETC Pop

"Dani is a bit of a rave legend in his hometown and this record encapsulates everything that’s diverse and exciting about Bogotá’s music scene right now."
Silicone Soul

The second release from Bogota and Berlin based Big In Japan (a label setup by former Ninja Tune employees Seb Jenkins and Liam Nolan) comes from Daniel Broderick aka Dani Boom.

Dani Boom is a pioneer of the electronic music scene in Colombia; from raves to clubs to festival stages, for the last 20 years he has pushed the electronic music scene forwards in Colombia and beyond. Dani was an architect of the 90’s Bogota rave scene although he is more widely known as co-founder, producer and DJ for Colombia’s most explosive live act, Systema Solar. Meshing Afro-Caribbean sounds with cumbia, hip-hop, house, techno and breakbeat, Systema Solar re-invented the way Colombian sounds are heard and garnered support from tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and Lefto.

‘Champeta La Voladora’ translates as Flying with Champeta. Champeta is a genre of music from the Colombian Caribbean coast originating from inhabitants of African descent. Fact Mag previously described the genre as “the indestructible sound system culture of Afro-Colombia.”

Dani takes a traditional champeta bass and morphs it into a house bass line and layers it with champeta style guitars he recorded specifically or the track. The result is a bouncy Afro-Colombian techno track that transports you to the Caribbean coast. One very early version of the track exists on vinyl thanks to Dani making a trip to Quantic’s house in Bogota where Will Holland offered to cut him a dub plate.

The second track is a refix of a traditional Colombian song called Los Sabanales by Los Corraleros De Majagual. Giving it a heavy squelchy bass, Dani transforms this Colombian classic into a dance floor stomper.
