IDAPO: A Spiritual Activation through Dance & Fellowship feat. Coflo

IDAPO welcomes Oakland Soulshifter, COFLO, as he makes his New Orleans debut!!!

Coflo brings a dancer’s soul to the heart of house music. A lifelong practitioner of American house dance and the Afro-Brazilian martial art Capoeira, he infuses his music with the rhythm, energy, and movement of these traditions. Born and raised in the vibrant Bay Area house scene, Coflo is dedicated to honoring the rich culture and community that shaped him while pushing the boundaries of club music.

Since joining Ocha Records in 2018 as Head of A&R and Label Manager, Coflo has become a cornerstone of the label’s talent roster, releasing originals and remixes that have captivated DJs and collectors worldwide. His breakout track “Stress Relief (Don’t f*** with me right now),” remixed by house legend Osunlade, marked the beginning of an evolving partnership with Yoruba Records. By 2021, Coflo had solidified his place on the Yoruba artist roster with the soulful collaboration “Soul 2 Souls” alongside SACRED H3ART. The groove continued in 2022 with “Peanut Butter Lover,” a playful club anthem that won the support of icons like Anané, Osunlade, and Louie Vega.

In 2023, Coflo reached new heights, remixing Ron Trent’s “Black Magic Woman” for Sacred Medicine, the visionary label founded by Joe Claussell and Ron Trent. His remix work continued to dominate, with multiple #1 hits, including his breakout 2024 remix of Louie Vega's "How He Works," which held the top spot on Traxsource surpassing more than four consecutive weeks. 2024 marked a defining year for Coflo. Beyond performing internationally in over 20 cities, he debuted his highly anticipated EP, Tsunami’s Muse, on Sacred Medicine, further solidifying his position as a leading voice in house music. Coflo also expanded his artistry with the launch of his new alias, Rawb Boss, releasing a debut album on Yoruba Records that showcased his versatility. That same year, his future classic, “If It Goes,” sold out on Sweden’s Cataleya Music, earning a spot as one of his most celebrated, future classic releases. With a decade of hits on prestigious labels like T’s Box, Local Talk, and Atjazz Record Company, Coflo is a studio innovator and a dynamic force behind the decks. His DJ sets are as eclectic and energetic as his productions, offering a unique perspective shaped by his dancer’s instincts. Coflo continues to evolve, crafting fresh sounds that honor his roots while pushing house music into exciting new territory.
