The Hot Tin Winter Party
Saturday 20th December, 6pm – 11pm
Come celebrate with us and dance to the sound of 3 top-ranking DJs, delivering a delicious selection of jazz, funk, dub, afrobeats and latin!
Faversham's prodigal son, Bena, returns from London nightlife, and joined by Margate's hot DFLs, Vandorta and Jaime Rosso.
Bena is a DJ, selector and broadcaster based in London specialising in underground sounds from across the spectrum, spanning genres of jazz, funk, psych and dub. He is the co-founder of the Shedding Histories parties based in East London, and has broadcast on radio stations such as Balamii, NTS and Netil Radio.
Vandorta is a Margate based selector and radio host.
An avid crate digger with a particular ear for all things funky, Vandorta has brought her eclectic musical tastes to esteemed London venues such as the Jazz Café and the Colour Factory; and has played festival sets at Gilles’s Peterson’s We Out Here and the inaugural Basket of Light Festival in Wales. She has opened for the likes of Kneecap, Dennis Bovell and Nardwuar, as well as holding down a regular radio show at Amsterdam's Radio TNP, with guest appearances on NTS, Soho Radio and Vinyl Factory Live.
Jaime Rosso is an artist and DJ with a style rooted in his love of UK soundsystem culture. Balancing the cosmic tendencies of dub with the accessible, groove-heavy foundations behind soul and house music, he’s supported DJs such as Eris Drew, Marshall Jefferson and Awesome Tapes from Africa. He is a core member of Social Records Society, the collective that puts on regular vinyl-only nights at venues such as The Carpet Shop, Club Cheek and Corsica Studios. Jaime has also recently released his debut EP, ‘Away’, on Domino Recordings, blurring nostalgia, his clubland influences and his own voice through a sample-heavy, psychedelic lens.
Over the past year, Vandorta and Jaime have been slowly but surely creating their joint party, Bis! Bis! Bis! in Margate. A psychedelic musical excursion, with a focus on keeping things fun.
