Deptford Dub Club: 50 Years of Deep Roots

D.D.C.: 50 Years of Deep Roots

This session celebrates the release of two of the deepest Roots Reggae LPs 50 years ago. Burning Spear’s “Marcus Garvey” was first released on Fox, in JA and The Prophets “Conquering Lion” first came on Micron, both in 1975. We will be spinnin’ tunes from and in the spirit of these two masterpiece albums during this one away dance. As ever, the tunes will be supplemented by live action on the mic from our residents the mighty singjay artist Doc Murdoc and the D.D.C. Horns, led by Tombone and Natty.

All the selectors for the evening will be mad keen enthusiasts for these foundation works and will include Drop da Biscuit, resident Soft Wax and more t.b.c.. It is expected that we will have special guest singers and players live and direct, too. Earlier in the evening we’ll be playin’ our usual eclectic mix of music of Jamaican origin including Rocksteady and Ska.

There’ll also be live mixes from the great Prince Fatty on the desk, throughout the session. We’re looking forward to another blinding evening inside, with the music piped out to the glorious garden too. Come on down to our anniversary celebratory special. Put on your dancing shoes and dance away your blues.
