Bobby Davis, a longstanding DJ within the London House music scene, brings us a little teaser mix as we await his debut guest mix for The Vinyl Vandals.

Bobby had a few words about his relationship with Cipriani & the Vinyl Vandals collective.

"It is such an honour to be finally working with this super-solid brand. The connection and bond with 'Vinyl Vandals' run deeper than just me making a guest appearance as the CEO & Director of the company 'Chino VV' is the son of the legendary 'Cipriani'. He was also one of my best friends in Music. Me and 'Cip' were very close, and it saddens us all when he passed away over six years ago.

On this occasion, I would like to take you all on an ancestral ride with me as we take it back to the motherland, how 'Cipriani' would have liked it. Even though we were both very deep into Tech-House & Techno Minimal sounds, we were both very in touch with our roots.

We love you, 'Cipriani', and I wanna dedicate this special warm-up show to you. The full show will be aired live on 'Vinyl Vandals' Radio at a later date TBA, but before I go, I would like to say a big thank you to 'Chino Vv' and the rest of the VV family for having me on board.

This special warm-up show features new and exclusive tracks from Baker Troubles, Natalie, DJ O +More and will be available to download via my all-new 2021 updated SoundCloud account."

Chino Vv was invited to entertain the people of Doha for the Paris Saint Germain (PSG) 2019 winter training camp tour of Qatar.

The event was held at the Khalifa International Stadium and this will be one of the host stadiums used at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Playing in front of 6,000+ PSG fans the atmosphere was electric and Chino stayed true to his sound & identity playing the finest in Afro, Soulful and Deep House Music featuring tracks from Atjazz, D-Malice, Black Coffee, Dennis Ferrer, Dennis Cruz, and many more.

Chino said “ It was the first time playing in a stadium environment, which was a good challenge and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, working with a number of different production teams on the day to create the perfect atmosphere for the fan and PSG players. It was also great to see Neymar Jr & Mbappe up-close and hopefully, the Vinyl Vandals can represent once again when the World Cup kicks off in 4 years time!”
