Event Details

We are thrilled that, on Saturday the 24th August, The Deptford Dub Club will host d’Oxman Carnival Warm-Up Special. Oxman is probably best known for his work with the Dub Vendor Allstars and the Soul Jazz Soundsystem. However Eddie’s been at the cutting edge of Reggae since long time, he has his own show on Soho Radio, has produced and sold records with the best of them and has performed with luminaries like U Roy.

Oxman has a massive collection to select from, does it with aplomb and is also a great toaster. Eddie always plays up a storm. He also brought the house down at our finale at the old place; trust, that was a night. D’Oxman’s a great friend of the D.D.C. having stepped into the breach, before now, when we someone let us down.

In addition to our guest star, all of the usual D.D.C. massive will be along for this one. Club stalwart Tessa Bassie ( The Slits ) will be personing the decks in fine style. Resident Soft Wax will be kicking us off with an extended warm up selection. They’ll both be joined by the great Doc Murdoch, our resident Singjay live and direct. There’ll be more live vocals on the mic., t.b.c. too. Expect more, fresh, Dubplate action from the crew.

In traditional style, we will be playing the best in foundation Jamaican roots music: from Ska, through Rocksteady and classic, vintage Reggae, to the present. All the selectors will be digging extra deep into their musical dub-baskets for this event.

An enhanced sound system is a feature of the Dub Club. Skanking is also a feature of this night in this convivial boozer, with an excellent, large garden and hot food until 10pm. We eagerly expect this one will be one of our most memorable sessions. So reach early, put on your dancing shoes and get warmed up for Carnival.
