As Jambu Jambu celebrates its first anniversary, we sat down with founder Tristan Smeeton to discuss how this entertainment collective is changing the nightlife scene in Kuala Lumpur and beyond. With a vision to create inclusive, safe spaces and a passion for House and Techno music, Tristan and his team are set to make waves across Southeast Asia. This comes just ahead of another one of Jambu Jambu’s epic events, in collaboration with ClubLandKL, which features the acclaimed DJ Yung Singh performing at one of the city’s most exciting clubs, Kyo KL.

What is Jambu Jambu?

“Guava Guava—we like the fruit a lot, as you can tell!” Tristan jokes. But Jambu Jambu is far more than just a fruity name. It’s a collective with a mission to evolve nightlife across KL and Southeast Asia by creating unique, safe spaces where everyone can connect and vibe to the beats of House and Techno.

The Inspiration Behind Jambu Jambu

The concept for Jambu Jambu came from Tristan’s desire to uplift KL’s nightlife scene. “I’ve been running events for years, and it felt like the right time to develop the House and Techno scene with larger-scale events at bigger clubs,” he explains. Along with his co-founder Kaiza, they sought to bring something fresh to the community, while ensuring these events were inclusive and safe. “We wanted to offer something new and exciting for KL’s partygoers, whether through the genres we feature or the talent we bring down.”

Impact on KL and SEA’s Nightlife

Jambu Jambu’s mission is more than just throwing unforgettable parties; it’s about building connections. Their first major recurring event, The Landing, launched last year, has been a success, creating a melting pot of local and expat partygoers. “It’s great to see such a balanced crowd coming together. We’re working on bringing top international DJs and talent to KL, and we’ve got big plans for the rest of the year.”

One such exciting highlight is the upcoming performance by Yung Singh, a highly talented DJ from the UK, known for his diverse sets and unique sound. Yung Singh has developed an inquisitive musical style that puts him at the forefront of British musical innovation, absorbing everything from reggaeton and hard drum to R&B and hip-hop. Yung Singh will be performing live at Kyō KL on the 28th of November, an event co-presented by Jambu Jambu. This is bound to be a night to remember, further cementing Jambu Jambu’s impact on the nightlife scene in the city. Get your tickets here now!

What Every Partygoer Should Know

What’s the one thing Tristan wishes every partygoer knew about Jambu Jambu? “We’re completely inclusive and welcome everyone to our events.
