Klabu is club night that has a musical environment where you travel across continents. Where Western electronica comes together with African rhythms and South-American melodies. Where cultures melt together and genre boundaries dissappear

With the use overlaying primal shapes (cut and painted by hand), tribal elements, colour schemes inspired by 1970s vinyl covers and African cloth patterns, and a contrasting mix of the hyper-modern Monument Extended with the more playful Woodland PP, it creates a sense of depth to the identity that Klabu represents musically as well. It visualises the steadfast optimism of world music of the 20th century with a modern touch that blends right in.
