Karimski Club

Karimski Club is an international collective of musicians, Djs and Vjs. Karimski Club concerts are a several hour multi-cultural journey consisting of an explosive mixture of rhythms, musical styles and different worlds. In this mixture, drum and bass trans converges into soulful r?n?b rhythms and is then reborn in the form of nujazz house with african jungle beats and polish/slavic influence. It is also a compilation of smooth French or Portuguese rap with Russian influences and a Cuban temperament.

Finally, it is a marriage of strong American hip hop with jazz whose never ending improvisational power allows these distant worlds to harmoniously fuse together. Live Act with KC is an incredible dose of positive energy whose source is true friendship and not bound by language, religious or ethnic differences. Even though it may seem trite, a KC event proves without a doubt that music really does go beyond all boundaries.

The creator and founder of Karimski Club is Karimski (Karim Martusewicz), a graduate of the renowned European jazz school ? Universitaet fuer Musik und darstellende Kunst in Graz, Austria and in Poland known as bass player for the legendary group Voo Voo.
