Hertfordshire-based producers Ken Petalcorin and Andy Bowden, collectively known as Tibasko setting their sights to bring their grooves into dancefloors across the UK. While still only in their early stages having formed in 2017, they have already carved their own mark into the music scene, finding their unique sound in complex melodic patterns, prolific sampling, twisted drums and underground beats.
Their notable style is also reflected within their DJ sets, where their love for African and Brazilian grooves keep the crowd alive. This is inspired by the pair’s affinity for crate digging, which results in the finest selection of disco, techno and tech-house tracks. This ability to showcase the best of hidden gems across various genres showcases Ken and Andy’s venerable approach to their DJ sets, showing strong potential as party curators.
They have already secured an impressive number of big events and shows, such as El Dorado Festival, Percolate, Regression Sessions, Made Festival, Starworks Warehouse, Seedy Sonics, and Pro-ject Worcester, across the UK. This includes supporting a range of huge names within the industry: Solardo, Lauren Lo Sung, Mark Radford, Tom Shorterz, Klose One, Denis Sulta, Latmun and more. They also hold a residency with eclectic groove and party makers, No Particular Order.
Their signature tribal sound is culminated by mixture of distorted worldly percussions and natural sounding synths together. They have a few original tracks released on notable record labels, including Smiley Fingers, Kritical Inc, Open House Records, No Particular Order and their own unique imprint, Omusaré Records. Their tracks have already received support from a range of DJs in the electronic music scene, including Latmun, PAX, ANOTR , Loods, Jay Newman and more. With more tracks to come on their release schedule, Tibasko looks to set the foundations for their rise within the music scene.
