A clubnight held at The Jam Jar on Friday 4th July. The event starts at 23:00.
Ace world DJ / club runner / label owner comes to Bristol for an action-packed session of sweltering sounds pulled from the hottest parts of the world.
From Nassau to Nairobi, and Kingston to Kinshasa. Cumbia to calypso, salsa to ska, afrobeat, highlife, and all points in-between.
This month we have globe travelling crate-digger, Liam Large! Compiler at the legendary Jazzman Records and founder of Jukebox Jam label/club night. Liam has also (for the last 10 years!) ran East London's much-beloved Tropical Yard club. Focusing broadly on Afro-Latin sounds, all played from original vinyl, expect to hear intense, frenetic and hypnotic rhythms from the Americas, the Caribbean, Africa and beyond.
As founder of the influential Jukebox Jam R&B club night, Liam has also worked for Jazzman Records since the early 2000s contributing to many compilations and re-releases, plus taking regular trips to the US in search of old records alongside Jazzman founder Gerald Short.
He DJs regularly in London and around Europe playing across the spectrum of vintage black music – soul, funk, R&B, blues, jazz, reggae, hip hop, Latin, African, Caribbean and more.
