Greetings people around the world! Aluku Rebels is a House music collective from London UK. DJ St Denis has been collecting,listening to & clubbing to house music over the last 10 years starting from my mid teens with kiss fm zoo experience @ club bar Rumba (Bobby n Steve and Norris Windross)
I have heard the sound evolve and develop into many forms; from old school House (Frankie Knuckles) to M.A.W and their Garage sound, Kerri Chandler's NewJack, to Osunlade's Future deep tribe.
In 2003 I brought a cd called AFRICANISM on Defected Records (French label - Yellow Records) which included Dj Gregory,Bob Sinclair,Martin Solveig and Claud Monnet. I fell in love with the fayacombo African beats with their zouk,soca,African,Bashment and samba influnced groove)
Then came a SoulHeaven CD (Osunlade & Spen 2006)The intro track was called BRIA'S OFFERING by Boddhi Satva. It had a ritual, deep rooted, ancestral sound which further inspired me. Then CASSABLANCA SOUL (Nomumbah mix)by Osunlade with its deep, eerie, atmospheric feel. This kind of versitility inspired us to experiment further and help push the Deep Tech Ancestral House sound.
St.Denis:
