This year marks the 20th anniversary of Donkey Kong Country’s release. Receiving high praise from both gamers and critics, Donkey Kong Country became the second-best selling Super Nintendo game of all time. It spawned several popular sequels for and was revived for the Wii in 2010 asDonkey Kong Country Returns.
The original Donkey Kong Country soundtrack, written by beloved video game composer David Wise, was released under the title DK Jamz.  Described as atmospheric “jungle music”, the soundtrack features a wide range of musical styles blended with natural environmental sounds. Club Kong works popular melodies from the Donkey Kong Country series into a modern jazz fusion arrangement. Like stepping into electronic Donkey Kong jazz club, this artistic re-imagination will captivate gamers and electronic music fans alike.
Club Kong brings together a powerhouse team of talent from the video game music scene. The album is produced by Drew Wheeler, also known as Halc.

He is also the founder of 9-bit Records, a label that combines 8-bit sounds and modern electronic production. Club Kong is Halc’s second album with GameChops. The album is introduced by popular youtube comedian brentalfloss, and the album is mastered by video game remixer and founder of GameChops, Dj CUTMAN.
