Banana Hill // Black Acre // Lumberjacks in Hell

Cervo is co-founder & resident of club night & label Banana Hill, purveyors of afrocentric, global dancefloor sounds past, present & future.

The night has built a special identity rooted in groove

and percussion, and threading creative connections through jazz, disco,

afrobeat, kwaito, techno, house, soul, kuduro, footwork and more.

It is this same dynamism and global inquisitiveness that defines Cervo as

a DJ – it isn’t any surprise that he’s played around the world in places such

as Japan, Uganda, Vietnam, Singapore & the Philippines, as well as

sharing the booth with the likes of Gilles Peterson, Move D, Marcellus

Pittman, Tama Sumo, Call Super, DJ Marfox and many others. He also

forms Global Roots Soundsystem with Thris Tian of Boiler Room /

Worldwide FM, and is a member of the Dimensions Festival DJ Directory.

His early production work released by Seven Davis Jr on R2 Records in

2016 was critically well received, and this year he has taken it to the next

level with an EP on Marcel Vogel’s Lumberjacks in Hell, a 12” on Bristol

label Black Acre, and music via Mawimbi.

He also launched the Banana Hill vinyl imprint, with two Cervo edits of

Moroccan multi-instrumentalist Majid Bekkas selling out in a few weeks,

and receiving plaudits from the likes of Hunee, Optimo, Auntie Flo,

Jimpster and many more.
