Djella Bar (2CD)

Claude Challe enjoyed DJ supremacy in the late nineties and early naughties. He provided soundscapes for parties thrown by the international fashionable set, and he crafted a series of hugely popular compilations such as the first two volumes of Buddha Bar, Nirvana Lounge etc...

A decade on, and Challe's collections have lost nothing of their shine. This latest release, drawing inspiration from his own bar in Marrakesh, combines the warmth of Cuban sounds with the exoticism of Arabic song, and demonstrates that Claude Challe is still as relevant as ever.
