The legendary Duke Neville is known as “The Rocksteady Teacher”. We are pleased and proud to welcome him back to the D.D.C. for the second time this year, as his last set went down a storm in the Spring. The mighty Duke started out selecting on the Alpha B Soundsystem in 1980. He selects to entertain and is also an entertaining raconteur on the mic..
Duke Neville remains a very well respected figure on the London Reggae Revive circuit and has wowed big events, such as the London Ska Festival. Neville’s record auctions at Peckings Shop are the stuff of legend and speak to the depth of his personal collection of rare tunes. He also ran his own vinyl imprint “Neville Sounds”.
The evening will also include a selection from Sweet C. We’re delighted to welcome the vibrant Clive back to select for us, he previously performed under the nom de guerre of Steady C. He’s another well-established figure on the London Reggae scene; he has DJed at nights across town. The inimitable Clive exudes positive vibes and can be relied upon for a scintillating early Reggae set, presented with style.
They will be joined on the decks by D.D.C. stalwart Mikey Drop da Biscuit. The super affable Mikey exudes positive vibes and can be relied upon for a scintillating set, presented with style. Expect Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae revive from all 3 of our guests.
Throughout proceedings our resident Sing-jay, the mighty Doc Murdoc will be on hand to nice-up the dance. The inimitable Doctor will need no introduction for many, as he is a stalwart of the London Reggae scene. He and the club’s resident selector, Soft Wax, recently supported Black Uhuru and together they’ve grace many of the capital’s stages and far beyond. For this night they will be joined by the D.D.C.s recently augmented live horn section. Now a 3 piece and including Club favourites Natty and Tom. We may well see some special guests too.
We’re looking forward to another blinding evening of live mixes from the great Prince Fatty on the desk. An enhanced sound system is a feature of this popular night, held in a convivial boozer. We expect this session to be one of our most memorable. The palatial, discrete garden will have the evening sets piped out to it. It has developed into a firm favourite chill out zone for Club regulars. Put on your dancing shoes.
