High-energy Afrobeats night with DJAMES, the international DJ and producer known as 'The King Of Blends', at Gidi Bar & Lounge.
DJAMES is playing Gidi Bar & Lounge on Saturday, October 24, for a night built around Afrobeats. He's a multi-award-winning international DJ, producer, curator, and music editor, and he goes by the name 'The King Of Blends' — a title that fits the way he works, pulling from global sounds and keeping the energy high throughout the set. The night is billed as DJAMES Gidipolis Live, and the Afrobeats focus makes sense for the room: Gidi Bar & Lounge is an Afrobeats club, so the music and the venue are in sync.
If you're not familiar with his background, DJAMES doesn't just spin records. He's a producer and a curator, and that comes through in the way he builds a set. He's known for high-energy shows that draw on global sounds, and this one leans heavily into Afrobeats, so expect a dance floor that stays moving rather than a night of standing around. It's a long run, too — the set starts at 9 PM on Saturday and carries through until 2 AM on Sunday morning, five hours of music to work through.
