@ Canvas / The Key
9pm – 5am
Bank Holiday Sunday 27th May 2007
Following the huge success of their 10th anniversary party back in September 2006, BBE Records, The Doctor's Orders and Bacardi B-Live have teamed up for BBE 10.5, a monster event celebrating 10 and a half years of quality releases. The party will be spread over four rooms between Canvas and The Key. BBE have pulled off a stellar line up including DJ Spin Doctor, Carl Craig, Mr Thing, DJ Spinna, Sir Norman Jay, Keb Darge, DJ Deep and Joe Claussell, with DJ Jazzy Jeff headlining and celebrating the release of his album 'Return Of The Magnificent'. The line up represents the musical diversity for which the label is known and loved.
Hosted by BBE’s head honcho Pete Adarkwah, each of the four rooms will represent a different genre. Some of the DJs will also be playing in different rooms where they’ll be dropping completely different sets throughout the night.
In the Kings of Hip-Hop room, Philadelphia phenomenon, DJ Jazzy Jeff returns after his incredible set at the 10th Anniversary party to raise the roof once again with a party mash up of hip-hop. Joining him for his first of 3 sets on the night, is the incomparable DJ Spinna, a true genre crossing DJ who’s as adept at spinning, and creating hip hop as he is house. Representing the UK are DJ Spin Doctor & Mr Thing - both gifted party rockers.
The Kings of Soul room will feature Sir Norman Jay (synonymous with the UK soul scene and his Notting Hill Carnival Good Times set) and Keb Darge (the champion of the northern soul & deep funk scenes) in addition to DJ Jazzy Jeff & DJ Spinna. Expect to be taken on a trip of soul, disco and funk, as they’ll both be playing original tunage that’s inspired them and generations of beatsmiths alike
Joe Claussell brings the sound of his seminal club, Body and Soul, to the The Kings of House room. A manipulator of the crossovers, Joe never fails to ooze the best of soulful dance music. Showing up again is DJ Spinna whose set is sure to be the perfect blend of original disco & house, crafted with turntable trickery. Extra support is provided by London’s finest DJ/producer Neil Pierce and BBE’s own Pete Adarkwah.
Finally, DJ Carl Craig will man The Kings of Techno room. As a leader in the second wave of Detroit Techno, Carl regularly features in the top spots of many of the world’s best DJ lists. Joining him is the Parisian master of techno/house DJ Deep.
Jazzy Jeff’s album ‘Return Of The Magnificent’ is released on BBE on the 4th June 2007. A video podcast has been created with regular updates at: http://podcast.thereturnofthemagnificent.com. His single ‘Hold It Down’ featuring Method Man / ‘She Was So Fly’ featuring Kardinal Offishall is out 16th July 2007. Prior to all this, look out for Jazzy Jeff at Southport Weekender on Friday 11th May 2007.
“Thank god for BBE! For the past 10 years BBE records have put out some of the best albums from some of the best producers and DJs in the world...thank you BBE and especially Pete for keeping real music alive and allowing me to be a part of it”. DJ Jazzy Jeff
