SILVA BUMPA & ROSSI. JOIN FORCES AS A.B.C. - FOR FIRST OFFICIAL SINGLE

After months of intrigue, A.B.C. - the new collaborative alias from Silva Bumpa & Rossi. - have released their first official single, “PEOPLE IN THE PLACE”, today (23 October).

On Tuesday, the duo announced their debut single as A.B.C. as they arrived in Amsterdam for ADE, where they will both play several events throughout the week. Silva Bumpa will headline Paradiso on Friday 23 October, with the show selling out in just one day. Ahead of his ADE headline show, Silva Bumpa will bring his Sterling label and event brand to Levenslang on Thursday 22 October for a special pre-party with Intercell.

To celebrate the official launch of A.B.C., Silva Bumpa will reunite with Rossi. for an A.B.C. pop-up show at Café Café on Saturday 24 October. The Amsterdam appearance marks their first major international set together as A.B.C.

Rossi. will bring his signature sound to ADE, headlining his own ROSSI.HOME//GRXWN showcase at Nxt Museum on Thursday 22 October before joining Sammy Virji’s sold-out Gashouder takeover on Saturday 24 October. He’ll round off the week at The Loft Amsterdam’s Closing Party with TRIP on Monday 26 October.

Emerging from a string of successful studio sessions, A.B.C. sees the pair combine their individual influences and creative chemistry to explore a more underground, club-focused sound. The project represents a distinct creative identity outside their respective solo careers, with a shared vision rooted in underground dance music culture.

A.B.C. was first teased in May when they released a remix <https://open.spotify.com/track/0t94CEbIDQZO99iP8Ibjr7?si=e0e0a97b037849be> of Dean Turley’s "Actin’ Tough”. Online speculation swiftly followed, before Silva Bumpa confirmed his and Rossi.’s involvement in the project during an interview <https://www.tiktok.com/@bbcr1dance/video/7667589046469741846> with Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1.

  • The pair have since brought A.B.C. to the stage with B2B sets at Miami Music Week and Boomtown Festival, building early traction ahead of their first official single.
  • It’s been a breakout year for Silva Bumpa, whose rapid rise has cemented his reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting artists, earning him Best Breakthrough DJ at DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards alongside recognition from BBC Radio 1 Dance’s Future Stars and Capital Dance’s Ones to Watch.

London-based DJ and producer Rossi. has established himself as a fresh and exciting name in the global electronic music scene, with his distinctive take on tech-house and high-energy sets. A regular at leading clubs and parties including Hï Ibiza, The Warehouse Project and Circoloco, he further cemented his reputation with “High On Me” featuring Jazzy, which broke into the UK Top 20.
