Next up! We return to The Jam Jar with 3 heavyweight selectors of Anatolian and North African grooves and disco, bringing over 4 hours of specially curated vinyl from some of the best.
With roots in Tunisia and Algeria, London-based selector, DJ, and crate digger Cheb Mimo looks for music in forgotten places. His floor-ready sets build on North African grooves, raï, funk, and disco to create a unique and rare celebration of genres from across North Africa.
Known for her genre-spanning sets, forward-thinking London selector and DJ Donna Leake moves effortlessly between jazz, dub, latin, and global percussion. Expect a range of soulful grooves, rare edits, and deep cuts primed for the dancefloor.
DJ and selector Burak Cetindag is set to bring their signature vinyl set, blending Anatolian funk with jazz and disco-folk gems from the early 70s through to today.
