Recently I’ve been digging for African and Afro-influenced music for the ART + MUSIC event: Jungle Fever. On Friday 22nd of March, I’ll be DJing alongside Nick Hadfield and Iñigo Ugarteburu – expect to hear some interesting stuff from Afrobeat by Ebo Taylor to Nigerian Disco by Amas. You’ll also see the wonderful art of Lynnie Zulu on display!

On Thursday 7th February, I’ll be playing a live set with Nicholas Feel at Roxx – a new concept bar in Notting Hill. Expect to hear something a little bit different as we take over the 1210′s.

An unlikely mix of records I found in my collection: a film score, some blues, psychedelic rock and rare groove. These sounds have been a source of influence to me: discovering an old obscurity is a reminder that we don’t have to search for the latest release to find something good. A couple of these tracks were sampled by J Dilla in his 2006 album Donuts, whilst others although recorded in the 1970′s only recently got released. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did finding them.
