dat Brass

Dat Brass -43.jpg

Dat Brass cut their teeth on the UK festival circuit and London clubs, evolving into a turbo-charged 10-piece hip-hop jazztronica outfit blaring reflective originals that show off the best in drum and brass. They rep an unholy amount of brass on the front line, backed up by the tightest scratch DJ, sousaphone and drum rhythm section this side of the millennium.

Every tune is layered with breathless improvisation, meaning dB have built a big reputation as pioneers of one of the freshest sounds London has to offer. They’ve opened up the Truth Stage at Glasto, sold out a hometown headline show at Jazz Cafe and supported the likes of Roni Size, Plastician, and DJ Yoda.

Debut album 'dB' is the culmination of 3 trips around the sun, featuring a raft of songs that were forged on stages and sticky floors all over the UK.

In early 2020, they retreated to the middle of nowhere to Giant Wafer studios, spending 10 days laying down the foundations of these 10 tracks with engineer & producer, Jess Camilleri. Each has a special place in their hearts, having all grown organically from simple ideas into the cacophonic fusion of sounds they are today. Packed with wall-to-wall lip-busters, their self-titled debut full-length album captures the energy of a live set, whilst using the opportunity of a studio to bring a unprecedented level of detail to the massive mix of jazz, dub, hip-hop, and DnB that they call their sonic home.

Vocally and instrumentally, the album reflects on the trappings of a tiny slice of fame, the relentlessness of the daily grind, and the state of the music industry today. They don’t shy away from love and party stories, done in true dB style with a fat scratch solo or trumpet bop to break things up.

On top of all this, they are stoked to collaborate with some of their best mates on the record – frequent stage invaders Mandeep., Ble33, Rachel Kerry, and Dan Tarbuck all feature, with guest production from Bristol don, Dr Meaker.

POPPY DANIELS MEETS ALMA DE LA SELVA

Alma Meets Poppy Art.jpg

Trumpet player Poppy Daniels comes together with producer / percussionist Alma, to bring a very special sonic experience.

A journey through different landscapes and natural textures, aims at what’s essential; a spiritual and contemplative search, that travels through water based sonic ambiences, to tracks that bounce over bass lines, from indigenous chants, to ritual dances. Elements of rap, jazz, latin, psychedelia, and more make a unique sonic experience from its detail and spiritual impact.

THE BARD (DJ)

The Bard brings you funky hip hop beats, soulful grooves and classic house stompers to help you dance the night away. Bard brings a varied selection classic floor fillers to edits of rare tunes from the world of funk, jazz, disco soul to create that unmistakable sound that you can help but shake your hips to.
