Boola Boom

Boolaboom are a super-sized brass and samba percussion big-band playing jazzy house music. A budding collaboration between a multicultural blend of international jazz musicians and samba drummers, the group launched in 2023 to make ‘unplugged house music’ heavily sprinkled with soul, jazz and South American flare.

BoolaBoom’s original tracks feature catchy brass licks and scintillating brass solos alongside classic EDM-style percussion build-ups, air-punching beat-drops and catchy, irresistible samba-esque chants.

Their 2025 release ‘Shuffle’ was debuted by Craig Charles on BBC6 and Dan Hegarty made his ‘Track of the Week’ on 2FM.

French producer Art of Tones (aka Llorca) took a shine to the group and remixed their track ‘Summerhouse’. The upbeat disco rework hit number 18 in the Traxsource Top 100 with EDM legends like Laurent Garnier, Glen Underground and mega-popular new wave DJs like Folamour declaring their love for it.

Their shows at Electric Picnic, All Together Now and Kaleidoscope festivals went down a treat this summer while the ‘Full House’ signs went up again for their recent Cork Jazz Festival show at The Pav.

BoolaBoom’s latest release ‘Shuffle’ is an EDM and bluesy big-band belter that combines catchy horn licks with high tempo samba-house. Along with a surprise samba-style percussion call-and-response, the Shuffle’s special sauce is an irresistible hands-in-the-air ‘cup final’ vocal chant that begins acapella and builds into a raucous jazzy finale when the beat drops.
