Expect a deep dive through their catalogue plus fresh finds from the Strut crew. \nAbout Strut: \nDuring our early days\, we released the first Nigeria 70 and Disco Not Disco compilations\, as well as documenting some important milestones in dance music history including DJ sets from Grandmaster Flash and Bristol’s Wild Bunch. \nRe-launched in 2007\, in conjunction with Berlin’s !K7 Music\, we continued our journey with four compilations selected by London DJ collective Horse Meat Disco alongside rare post-punk and industrial sounds on Trevor Jackson’s Metal Dance series and the Fac. Dance Factory Records compilations\, to name but a few. We also started inviting original legends to record new studio albums including Mulatu Astatke\, Lloyd Miller\, Orlando Julius\,Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids\, Ebo Taylor and Pat Thomas plus the late\, great drummer Tony Allen and Jimi Tenor. \nSince 2014 we have had an ongoing relationship with the estate of Sun Ra and the Arkestra\, curating definitive box set editions of Ra’s recordings in Egypt in 1971\, the Singles and the Lanquidity album from 1978. In 2020 we released Swirling\, the first new Arkestra album in over 15 years. \nMost recently we have been working closely with the back catalogues of Patrice Rushen\, Miriam Makeba\, Black Fire Records and Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids; and we continue to support younger talent with recent critically acclaimed artist albums from Nubiyan Twist\, Electric Jalaba\, Kondi Band and The Souljazz Orchestra.

SUMMARY:Queens of Lovers Rock: Janet Kay & Carroll Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as the undisputed “Queens of Lovers Rock\,” Janet Kay (MBE) and Carroll Thompson are the pioneering voices of the romantic\, soul-infused British reggae movement that defined a generation in the late 1970s and 1980s. Janet Kay made history in 1979 with  “Silly Games\,” which peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and made her the first British-born Black female artist to showcase a reggae song on Top of the Pops. Carroll Thompson burst onto the scene shortly after\, releasing her million-selling\, self-penned 1980 debut album Hopelessly in Love—later recognized by Mojo Magazine as the greatest Lovers Rock album of all time—which yielded enduring classics like “I’m So Sorry“.\n\nHaving both sold over a million records globally\, these two legendary artists frequently unite as a powerhouse touring duo\, enchanting audiences worldwide with their signature warm harmonies and a beautifully nostalgic journey through the golden era of British Lovers Rock.

SUMMARY:Da Lata
DESCRIPTION:A high-energy fusion of Afro-Brazilian rhythms\, soul\, jazz-funk\, and trip hop. \nHaving just celebrated their 25th anniversary London’s original global groove trailblazers come to the Fox for the first time on the back of their acclaimed 2025 album ‘Edge Of Blue’. \nDa Lata’s Edge Of Blue not just a return\, but a new beginning\, North London tropicalia born out of the alchemy of longing. Never before have Da Lata woven their many strands so sweetly\, blending their diverse influences with the musical personalities of their extended family into a collection of songs that speak of struggle\, survival\, and ultimately hope. \n  \n \nDa Lata is the brainchild of producer Chris Franck and DJ/broadcaster Patrick Forge\, Da Lata emerged from the vibrant intersection of London club culture and Brazilian influence in the late ‘90s. They combine world-influences with the melting pot of their native city\, carving out a space that was equal parts sun-drenched and rhythmically global. \nKnown for deeply spiritually uplifting live shows and a long list of heavyweight collaborators\, from Tony Allen to Jhelisa\, Bernie Worrell to Mayra Andrade\, Da Lata’s return is both a homecoming and a celebration of one of the UK’s most iconic and enduring musical forces.
