Welcome to Sentinel Island

If you want to know what those rituals look like, you’ll have to dock at Sentinel Island. You’ll hear Disco and House but also Caribbean, African and Asian-inspired dance music, straight from Sentinel’s dark jungles. DJs like Barbara Boeing and San Soda are regular visitors too.

The Sentinel Island Disco YouTube channel, well known in the digging scene, unearths rare gems from around the globe. The many Sentinel Island and Bongo Barns remixes have done the rounds on the club and festival circuit, with support from Palms Trax, Barbara Boeing, Lipelis, Hunee, Antal and many more. As a not-for-profit re-issue label Sentinel Island Disco licenses, remasters and presses those records back onto vinyl — from Ivorian reggae and Bronx gospel house to Rotterdam chutney disco and a whole compilation of soca.

Behind the decks, Coco and Bongo Barns mix those rare finds into disco and house sets, which have taken them from small club nights to festival stages like Down The Rabbit Hole, Lowlands and DGTL.

Together with illustrator and VJ Mirjam, the visual force behind the project, they hosted club nights at Lovelee in Amsterdam where all senses were stimulated.
