Rhumba Club is the synth-pop & alt-disco project of London-based artist Tom Falle, blending analogue synths, disco grooves and reflections on queer culture. Inspired by Patrick Cowley, Pet Shop Boys & Talking Heads, his music is both deeply personal and dancefloor-ready, described by The Line of Best Fit as a “radiant sonic universe.”

His album HONCHO earned a PPL Momentum Music Fund Award & features duets with Juno Francis & Patrick Wolf. Championed by BBC Radio 6 and Steve Lamacq, its lead single Talk Me Into It also led to Falle appearing in the climactic scenes of an upcoming film by Czech director David Ondříček.

A vital queer & Italo disco voice, Rhumba Club has toured Europe and will play Athens Music Week, Soho Calling, Fotonovela (Barcelona) and Mighty Hoopla in 2026.
