ClUB DES BELUGAS

Club des Belugas is one of the leading NuJazz bands in Germany - perhaps even in Europe. Their combination of contemporary European Lounge & NuJazz styles with Brazilian beats, Swing and American Soul of the 50s, 60s and 70s provides a completely independent music world, which is hard to beat in intensity and energy. Club des Belugas started their career in 2002 with the album “Caviar at 3 am”. One year later they released “Minority Tunes”, which included the German Club Charts #1 hits “Hip Hip Chin Chin” and “Gadda Rio”. In 2006 they released a real masterpiece called “Apricoo Soul”. The 12″ vinyl “Wildcats Gotta Move” reached #3 on the German Club Charts and stayed in the Top Ten for eight weeks.

The included remix of Dean Martin´s “Mambo Italiano” is the first worldwide legal remix of any Dean Martin track, authorized by Capitol/EMI and the Dean Martin Family themselves. Tracks from Club des Belugas have been licensed to more than 520 compilations as well as advertisements and TV commercials from companies like: Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Campari, Martini and Strenesse. In total, Club des Belugas tracks have been released on more than four million CDs.

Club des Beluges have been signed to appear at the upcoming Smooth Jazz Festival Munich 2009. The first Smooth Jazz Festival in Bregenz in 2008 wasa huge success and so the organizers are mounting another festival this year. The Smooth Jazz Festival Munich 2009 runs from Septemer 4 to 6. Other artists thus far slated to appear are Michael Lington and Steve Oliver, with more artists to be announced soon.
