About

DJ Decos and Papa Ibsy formed Boomskat in ’98 whilst playing on various radio stations and clubs in and around London.

In January 1998, the two of us were just sitting, chilling and discussing the direction we were going to take our DJing experiences combined with our style of performance. We came up with a phrase that best described us closest as possible with our persona’s.

Starting with Boom, being the bass drum and Skat being the snare; we amalgamated the two, and Boomskat was formed. The word Boomskat can have a million definitions, in short 911 in New York was a Doom Skat, but if you won the lottery, pass a test you’ve studied for or get proposed to in marriage (or any other great news) it’s simply a “Boomskat” feeling you get.

“We all need the ‘Boom!’ to get through life’s doom ‘n’ gloom, in any venue, car or room”
