Boukan Records

Founded by Bamao Yendé in 2018, Boukan Records has become a cornerstone of the contemporary club scene, crafting a singular voice that resonates far beyond the dancefloor. The label draws inspiration from a vast array of influences—hip-hop, r&b, kwaito, coupé-décalé, baile-funk, and ghetto-house—weaving them into a fluid and timeless soundscape. At its heart lies a commitment to storytelling, where personal memories and future visions collide, creating music that is as intimate as it is universal.

By 2022, Boukan stepped into a new chapter, refining its vision and accelerating its creative output. This evolution was marked by a standout VA compilation and releases from Le Diouck, Mixbwé, Amor Satyr, and Tatyana Jane, solidifying its role as both a platform for emerging voices and a beacon for forward-thinking club culture.

Boukan Records isn’t just about music—it’s about movement. It captures the spirit of an era where traditions are reimagined, boundaries dissolve, and the groove becomes a unifying force. With every release, the label fosters a sense of connection and possibility, a space where creativity thrives and stories are told anew.

Driven by a clear vision and a commitment to communities, Boukan Records highlights the power of music to connect, inspire, and capture the essence of a generation in motion.
