Smoove & Turrell

Newcastle’s finest Smoove & Turrell are back with their third studio album Broken Toys. Their rise through the ranks of British soul has been nothing but unstoppable. Hitting the road again with their motley crew of Geordie reprobates Smoove & Turrell’s 7 piece band will once again be gaining yet more of a loyal fan base both here in the UK and in Europe & the wider world.

“It’s a badly kept secret that a lot of people believe John’s heading for future stardom – with a voice with the timbre of the greats of Soul music. Who could deny that? For Smoove and Turrell, their time is coming, and soon.” Snowboy

“The future of Soul in my book “ DJ Andy Smith

“A winning mix of ebullient acid-jazz grooves and mahogany-toned vocals” The Independent

Boca 45

Always ready to hit the clubs, armed with a heaving box of 7” vinyl. His aim? As it has been on all his global travels and international DJ shows, to whip crowds into a frenzy with his crazy collection of vintage vinyl gems. His hugely popular ‘Boca Plays his 45s’ mix series comes close to capturing this magic, and a DJ in his element. Playing 45x45s in under an hour, he touches on vintage breaks and grooves from the history of funky music with a deft blend of disco, early rap, soul, and of course, all that goodtime funk!

Rackabeat

Drawing on the sound of vintage funk, hip-hop and classic breaks, Rackabeat has been getting heavy props since The Allergies debut Heartbreaker EP topped download charts at the start of 2013. BBC radio legends like Rob Da Bank and Craig Charles have been championing their boom bap sound. While DJs like Yoda, Kenny Dope and Format join the ranks of the great and good that have caught the bug for The Allergies infectious beats.

Sir Funk

A joyous, funked up, hundred miles an hour, pleasure driven explosion of energy that only fools and the foolish would miss. Expect to get sweaty, expect to shake and to do your thang!
