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 reggae music. Expect oodles of the dubbier side of Roots Reggae liberally tinged with nyabinghi and flavours of the earthier side of Free Jazz with shades of Funk. Many elements of dubby avant garage will be played in Soundsystem style, building towards our usual spirited dance session as the evening progresses.

Your co-pilots for this musical mission will include Tessa from the legendary Slits, who were produced by Dub Meister Dennis Bovell and toured with Don Cherry. Also along for the ride there’ll be a host of special guests.

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.
