Dizraeli (Live PA)

Project Hilts

AAA Badboy

Dizraeli

Poet, producer, firestarter. Songwriter-MC, multi-instrumentalist-raconteur… Dizraeli is a genre of his own. From building a frenzied underground following with his first band Bad Science (1999-2008), through to his debut solo album Engurland (City Shanties) dropping in 2009 and then on to tour the world and record the acclaimed Moving In The Dark with Dizraeli and The Small Gods, on the way collaborating with artists as diverse as Kae Tempest, Jam Baxter and Eliza Carthy in his explorations of the crossover between hiphop, folk, bass music and all between…and most recently releasing his solo masterpiece The Unmaster, nominated for Album of the Year by Gilles Peterson in the 2020 Worldwide Awards… Diz has always forged his own way.

His unswerving devotion to pushing the boundaries of lyricism and musical form has earned him a bona fide cult status among those who know, and the raw honesty and humour he brings to his writings on his own mental health, sexuality and the liberation of the human spirit has drawn people together of all shades and ages around his work.

Project Hilts

Project Hilts is an eight-piece collective from London/Leeds. Their sets are energetic and danceable whilst displaying virtuosic musicianship and challenging songwriting. The band consists of three vocalists, drums, percussion, two brass players and keys from a range of different backgrounds and disciplines who come together to marry Jazz Musicianship with styles and influences from early 00’s Grime, Latin, Soul and Hip Hop.

Since forming in early 2019 they’ve supported bands such as Submotion Orchestra, Tetes Des Pois and Too Many Zoos and have been hugely present in the Leeds Jazz scene, selling out their headline shows in May and December, as well as performing all over the UK in London, Sheffield and Liverpool.

AAA Badboy

Perhaps best known as one of the musical minds behind Boomtown but Kaptin aka AAA Badboy is a seasoned veteran with a killer selection that has no barriers.  He’s had various other aliases that have seen him have radio play on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra amongst others and has been packing out festival stages around the world for nearly 20 years, hence his most recent moniker, named after the much coveted Access All Areas pass.

“His kaleidascopic knowledge of music leaves me in awe. In 30 years of working on thousands of gigs and 10 , 000 artists, I never came across anyone with such a mixture of musical knowledge across so many genres” – Chris Tofu

Twinkat Soul and Marbles are linking up for a take-over at the Fox and Firkin for one night only on the 10th of September. Join us for a night great music and good vibes.

————Jamie Moon————

DJ Jamie Moon has been supplying scintillating soundtracks for seminal shindigs, capital cabaret and an assortment of agreeable alternative events since 2009. Playing to a range of styles/genres, from vintage swing to dirty house, but happiest when the canvas is blank allowing for a rich, eclectic soup of a soundtrack to the best house party you’ve heard… Taking in rhythm & blues, jazz, exotica, funk, loungecore, northern soul, latin, breakbeat, electronica, house, glitch, synthpop, new wave, ska, electro swing & many more delectable morsels! “Sleazy Listening to Grindin’ Rock n Roll, Glamour Trash to Electro Booty and beyond…” A decadent dandy who’s flamboyance is matched only by his fervour, he has driven dancefloors to distraction at such events as Rumpus, White Mischief, Carousel, A Curious Invitation, London Burlesque Festival and Torture Garden, to name but a few.

On Sunday 19th September the D.D.C. @ The Fox features Tessa Pollitt. She’ll be
spinning 100% Roots and Culture Reggae in Soundsystem style. Tessa was the
bassie throughout the career of The Slits, who’s seminal 70s LP “The Cut” was
produced by Dub-master Dennis Bovell. Tessa draws from a deep love of the music
and selects from a collection amassed back in the day. Slits vocalist Ari Up lived for
a long time in JA and sent back nuff Dubplate and ting and Tess will be drawing on
these too…wow.

Warm up selection will come from the inimitable Dubplate Pearl. Pearl is a well
respected fixture on the London reggae scene. You name a venue where
memorable ravin’ happened and Pearl’s probably played there. She’s spun in
combination with most selector’s you could mention too. Currently she’s probably
best known for her highly convivial Camberwell Connection events. Pearl is a great
friend of the DDC and has been since its inception.

Another of our amigos, Ras Danny Mosiah, will also be putting the needle to the
groove on the wheels of steel.. Danny will need no introduction to regulars at The
Deptford Dub Club as he is a stalwart. He’s more widely know through his work with
Jah Shaka over many years. His sets are always wicked.

Resident Soft Wax will also spinning and there’ll be the usual live instrumental and
vocal in puts on the mic.. Expect Humble B on Sax and Wicked Will on Trumpet.
Also live and direct will be our resident singjay Doc Murdoch and special guests.
Rocksteady will be playing all afternoon in the glorious garden. So reach early, we’ll
be moving indoors and warming up the big dub machine from 6. Skanking is a
feature of this night in a convivial boozer, so put on your dancing shoes. We expect a
road block.

NB: Tessa was the bassie for the mighty Slits throughout their recording career;
including playing all over their awesome debut album, The Cut ( produced by
Dennis Bovell ) and “Heard it Through The Grapevine” single. Through to their final (
Adrian Sherwood produced ) LP, that contains a killer version of “Babylon”. Not
surprisingly this queen of avant bass has a phenomenal collection of reggae records
that she’ll be selecting from on this one away night.
