Known for his dynamic and deeply curated sets, Baloo moves effortlessly across genres—from deep and minimal house to soulful disco with raw, gritty funk — crafting experiences that are both moving and unpredictable. His musical roots run deep, drawing from jazz, funk, R&B, and disco, which gives his sound a warmth and groove that sets him apart. In 2021, he launched Gabu, a record label and event concept that reflects the raw, gritty and very groovy sound Baloo brings to dancefloors.
