Deptford Dub Club – EFG Jazz Fest Special

In a one away excursion Deptford Dub Club are taking a journey to the further reaches of the spacier side of music. Expect the earthier side of Free Jazz, shades of Funk and oodles of the dubbier side of Roots Reggae liberally tinged with nyabinghi. Many shades of avant garage will be played in Soundsystem style, starting with a listening session and building towards our usual spirited dance session from around 6.

Your co-pilots for this musical mission will include Tessa from the legendary Slits, who toured with Don Cherry and were produced by Dub Meister Dennis Bovell. Also along for the ride there’ll be Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club resident DJ Riot Girl. Selectors will operate largely in tag teams.

Astronauts will include D.D.C. regulars Soft Wax, MC Doc Murdoc, Ras Danny Dread and Vandorta. There will also be live horns and guests. This is a multi-media event and there will be an extensive installation based on the themes of the show in general and Sun Ra in particular. This will be in the vintage 1 st class railway carriage in the garden.
