Slammer Booster is a DJ/VJ, Performance, Fashion, Graphic & Stage Design team based in London and Berlin

Here's a video of us having it at the Berlin DMY Party
And here some pics of Boost DJing At Open Party Of The Berlin Biennale
DJ/VJ: mix of old and new classic's of Tropical music from Palm Wine, Rumba and Arabesk - Kuduro and Coupe Decale, Afro pop, Turk pop, with a hat tipped to the Afro indie scene.
Often mixing live via myspace, 2 Laptops and a video mixer
What we mean by Afro indie is projects like:A.J. Holmes, Esau Mwamwaya & Radioclit aka The Very Best, M.I.A. & Afrikan Boy, Extra Golden, Vampire Weekend, Les Beaux Gosses de Berlin and their more traditional elders Konono no:1 (working with indie god mother herself; Björk) and all of the Tradimodern / Congotronics scene for example!

And here's some of the modern music that we LOVE at the moment:

Dr Sakis - Peace Love - Serres Moi Show
dj mujava (Kwaito/Pretoria House)
Dança Angola kuduro de qualidade
And here's some high lights from the London Tropical Scene: A.J. Holmes, Esau Mwamwaya & Radioclit, AFRIKAN BOY
