Club des Belugas is one of the leading Nujazz projects in Germany, perhaps in Europe. They combine contemporary European Lounge & Nujazz Styles with Brazilian Beats, Swing and American Black Soul of the fifties, sixties and seventies using their unique creativity and intensity.
Club des Belugas started their career in 2002 with their first album „Caviar at 3 a.m.“. In 2003 they released their 2nd album „Minority Tunes“, which included the German Club Charts no.1 hits „hip hip chin chin“ and „Gadda Rio“.
In 2006 Club des Belugas enriched the world of music with a real masterpiece called „apricoo soul“. The 12” vinyl „Wildcats gotta move“ reached German Club Charts #3 and stayed in the Top Ten for 8 weeks (march & april 2006). The included Club des Belugas Remix of Dean Martin´s „Mambo Italiano“ is the first worldwide legal remix of any Dean Martin track, authorized by Capitol/EMI and the Dean Martin Family themselves.
