(July 31, 2023) - Toronto-based DJ and producer BAMBII shares "Hooked," the final single to be released from her debut EP Infinity Club, out this Friday via Innovative Leisure. Hailed as a key player in the resurgence of jungle in Toronto by Rolling Stone, BAMBII enlists Aluna, one of the pioneering vocalists of the UK's early 2010's dance/electronic scene on her latest offering.
"Hooked" combines 90's R&B bass-lines with Aluna's classic layered vocals providing listeners with a sound reminiscent of Aaliyah's late reign. A testament to BAMBII's masterful production abilities, the DJ and producer finds ways to add something new to every 30 seconds with this subdued pop anthem. The new track follows her previous releases, "Wicked Gyal" featuring Lady Lykez, and "One Touch," and "Slip Slide" feat. Ragz Originale (Skepta, FKA Twigs, SOPHIE) and Lamsi.
In this year alone, BAMBII has seen a number of successes. Just last month, her single "One Touch" was deemed Best New Track by Pitchfork and was also included in Apple's new Macbook Air commercial. Additionally, through her contributions to Kelela's crticially acclaimed album Raven, "Contact" was included in former President Obama's Summer 2023 playlist. On her upcoming project, Infinity Club finds BAMBII building on her already-impressive sonic repertoire, encapsulating the sound of a generation of Caribbean youth living between two worlds. On the heels of bringing her kinetic production style to Kelela's recent album Raven, this new EP establishes BAMBII as a trailblazing voice in the intersecting worlds of electronic and Caribbean music. The project opens the door to a limitless space that blurs the lines between memories and dreams, anchored by ecstatic production by BAMBII that centers on the solace one can find in the middle of a crowded dance floor. In BAMBII's telling, Infinity Club soundtracks an anonymous space holding a community of bodies all flowing to the same rhythm: "Infinity Club knows no age, or social construct. It's for everyone, everywhere. In all ways, always."
