Deptford Dub Club

This September brings another first-time selector to feature at the Deptford Dub Club with the great Lady Banton (Marilyn Dennis) headlining. Lady Banton is a pioneering sound system operator, selector, and the founder of Seduction City Sound with over 30 years’ experience.

Lady Banton first stepped up to the control tower in the mid-1980s with the all-female collective ’80s Ladies. She then linked up with DJ Night Nurse to build Mellotone Sound System who went on to make history in 1994 by becoming the first ever all-women sound system to string up and play the Notting Hill Carnival. Marilyn later founded Seduction City, continuing her legacy of championing innovative reggae and promoting sound system culture while supporting the next generation in music. Lady Banton has performed at several major UK festivals and events, including Glastonbury.

Joining Lady Banton will be celebrated Dub Club regulars Vandorta, and Dirt Bike Dub, who will be spinning together for the very first time. Vandorta, has played at the Jazz Café and Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here Festival, and hosts a regular radio show on Balamii Radio. Dirt Bike Dub began crate-digging for vinyl aged 19 and she has built an extensive collection. Expect an eclectic mix of reggae, roots and dub.

Drop Da Biscuit, tops off the bill with some sweet roots, rockers, rocksteady together with the odd dubplate.

Our usual mic man Doc Murdoc, will spice up the evening in his own inimitable style that will have you rocking to the close.
