ALF TUMBLE
HISTORY
Alf Tumble, most well known as one part of the Swedish house duo Sumo, just went for a solo ride. Together with long time partner Combo, Sumo developed a unique, very eclectic sound, mixing jazz, afro and latin with deephouse and modern disco. With major releases on Africanism, Trackmode and Soulfuric and remixes for Compost, Dessous and Wall of Sound, they created a name for themselves and were honoured with a Grammy-nomination in 2006.
As Sumo went more and more eclectic and experimental they decided to create an alias for their more electronic and techy numbers, and Bangana was born. The first release got signed by British label C2. Shortly after they started their own imprint Heya Hifi and has ever since released most of their music there. The buzz around the Bangana sound has now, three years later, made them highly sought after remixers and djs. Their crossover remix of Clarisse Muvemba’s "Roses" found many fans around the world among all kinds of djs. Forthcoming Bangana material will be relased this spring on prominent labels such as Nordic Trax, Slip n Slide and Farplane.
Last year Alf Tumble started to write and produce his own material. The number one ambition was to stay true to his biggest musical passion: playing records (or whatever format available) and to only produce music that would fit perfectly in to his dj-sets. First out is a disco sounding ep released by the UK conneauiseur label Bearfunk, along with a couple of remixes for various labels.
Besides music, or as a very important complement, Alf's living his life in the world of wine. As a trained and skillful sommeliére he writes (in Swedish) about his latest escapades at tracksandbottles.com
