When you bring awesome mates together - who have individually earned their stripes (and then some) throwing some of the best parties Noz has witnessed over the years - then you know you’re on course for a MEGA PARTY

Gassed to be going b2b in the booth tomorrow night with Ryan aka 🥳

Ryan is a stealth force to be reckoned with; they can step it up, slow it down & loop-da-loop like a good ‘un 🥵
Every time they step up to the decks they totally boss it - from their sets for the Parish crew & events + radio live streams for Space Studios Norwich - to the terrace parties hosted by & the epic Tier_Plus festival
Gonna do my best to keep up tomorrow…selecting some bold n brassy heaters for the bag 🌶️🔊🔊✨

See you on the floor! ###

Sure D b2b Magnificent Biscuits is a spectacle not to be missed…fu***ng ding ding! 🛎️
Magnificent Biscuits

I’ve shared a love of excellent tunes, road trips to London parties, the dance floor & the dinner table with these two Noz heavyweights.

Both selectors of the highest calibre, I have to admit I’m a teensy bit in awe of their vast stacks & shelves & crates & trunks & bags & trolleys of wax…🌟🌟

On Friday night they’ll each be letting off a box of tropical bangers 🍍✨🍍✨
I’ve no doubts they’ll be egging each other on good n proper to push the dance floor to the max 🥳

Come through, get involved

Ed Foundation:
One of the OG selector crews in Norwich, injecting sound system culture into Norwich from the mid-90’s onwards and laying the bass foundations for our city.
Ed is gonna take us on a journey for this one 🌟

Bit of a WHOOP! moment being asked by Our House to play support with for one of the OG heroes of the hardcore/jungle/dnb scene.

This is a major coup for Norwich 🦁 🏰 ❤️ Gonzo's Two Room

Donned the ‘King of the rollers’ by Goldie, Doc Scott (aka Nasty Habits) has been absolutely pivotal in creating & pushing forward the underground sound over three decades, both as producer & DJ.

His influence is legendary, his output diverse & directional - and he’s one of the dj’s that other high profile dj’s in the scene are most inspired by.

If you don’t know then get to know; Doc Scott will take you on a journey of the highest integrity & velocity.

I’ll be getting in the booth after Doc at 2.30am, gonna be amen heavy - yip yip 💥💥💥

Her selections dip delicately into the exotic; deep, chuggy with accents of Turkish psyche flavours. You’re gonna love it!

Was inspired to throw in some complimentary tunes to wrap around Lils mix -
tracks by Pépé Bradock, N-Gynn, Mehmet Aslan, Jhalib, Oldu O Zaman & Kannoushiki did a nice job of keeping the eastern flow…

Can’t quite believe that this is the 15th show I’ve put together 💪 Who knew I’d have the stamina?! 😂

TF it’s Saturday! A good day to share my last monthly show for Soul Roots Radio

This show is massively influenced by my guestie Calvin (who goes under the monikers of CR Smith & Distant Wavess)
He’s put together a gorgeous mix for the show of deep house & Italo tracks that immediately prompted me to dig through the collection and draw out some complimentary flavours.

I was also feeling pangs for the chill out rooms of the 90’s & early 2000’s (pre smoking ban) so wind things down with some selections that evoke the chill out vibes of these lost little sanctuaries.

Check out the show! X###

A fab foray of fantastical soundscapes. Sit back, relax and let the sonic soothings settle you.

Mega excited to be joining the Mondo music crew this Friday night in their return to The Rumsey basement The Rumsey Wells

The Mondo boys - my station mates Soul Roots Radio - will be bringing their impeccable selections of the finest Afro-Latin, Tropical & Asian rhythms 🙌☀️

🇯🇵 I’m gonna be deep diving into Japanese dance floor vibes to play two sets of cool rare funk, boogie, cosmic disco & post-disco from the land of the rising sun 🪩🐉✨

Might throw in some Susumu Yokota techno too if the mood fits…

Come thru & immerse yourself on that floor!

Well Friday were a bit of a goer! 🥳 Gonzo's Two Room

Grooverider had the floor in the palm of his hand & I think it’s fair to say the three of us on support duties repped the Norwich scene with full force 💥

Always the best feeling to have happy dancers banging their hands on the cage, giving salutes & asking for track ID’s.

And so many wicked local faces in the crowd.
I couldn’t resist an amen finish 🤩

The Mariner of Danu curates -
Wonky Knots 🪢

We know how to party here in Norwich.
We have a deep-rooted tradition of throwing exceptional parties in our community.
I travelled across the county to my first party in Noz in the mid-nineties & never looked back…

I’ve teamed up with Gonzo's Two Room to curate three autumn/winter parties: each night inspired by a deep love of dance floor culture,
and the rich flavours + variety that our local DJ’s bring to our thriving scene.

I’ve shared booth duties with all of the DJ shipmates I’ve gathered together to play across these three parties -
And collaborated with them all via radio too; either by creating guest mixes for their radio shows, or by them creating guest mixes for my show aired monthly on Sunday nights
Soul Roots Radio

Each party has a different theme, drawing upon a wide appreciation of dance music styles which is undoubtedly shared with all the DJ’s involved.

The first and upcoming party - Wonky Knots - is a big salute towards dance floor bangers with a bit of wobble.
Expect acid bubblers, breaks, detroit techno, skewy basslines, bleeps…and anything else a bit on the huh.

Featuring Jack N (Soul Stew) b2b with Caesar Harpoon - and Luke Sanger b2b with Sseagulls (Cosmic Pint Glass)

Been 🙌 on the floor for this rave/jungle/dnb pioneer many times across the past 3 decades - including nights at Fabric over the years & the fleeting Millenium Dome 💫

Fond memories of listening to his sets via rave tape box sets - and remember absolutely smashing out his Mysteries of Funk album in ‘98 - still get the best of shivers when I listen to Where’s Jack The Ripper ✨

So it’s a bit billy bonkers to be playing in the booth before he takes hold of the controls in Noz! 🤩

Don’t dilly dally on the tickets for this one ⏰

Double celebrations as Soul Roots Radio is ONE YEAR STRONG 🎂

Any land lubbers wanting to join the party crew can bag their space here (ticket link in comments)

Hey friends. We're really excited to party with you on Sunday! 💃

Here's a little info which might be helpful...

*Location* : Festival pier is next to Royal Festival Hall on the bustling Southbank. Nearest tube/bus is Waterloo (5 min walk).

*Tickets* : If anyone wants to come along with you we recommend advance purchase to guarantee joining us onboard (link in bio or on our website). However, we WILL have any remaining tickets available for purchase on the day. These can be purchased with cash or card on boarding. Please have your own ticket(s) ready, to help speed up getting everyone aboard.

NB if you can no longer come and wish to sell your ticket please use the resale facility on RA. Resident Advisor is the only place we sell... we cannot guarantee tickets/entry if bought elsewhere.

*Boarding* : Please arrive in good time for a prompt 12.45 boarding.

The boat is due to depart at 1pm. Please note: IT IS UNLIKELY IT CAN WAIT due to other vessels needing to access the pier. We have no control over this.

*Onboard* : There is a well-stocked bar on the boat (cash or card accepted), toilets and a below-deck seating area. There is no food available to buy onboard, so please make your own food provisions as needed. (You're welcome to bring a snack!)

*Safety* : The captain is ultimately responsible for everyone's safety. While we envisage no issues, please pay attention to any safety announcements and follow the direction the boat staff.

*Music* : There's a great Soundsystem onboard and we are over the moon to have 2 of our international Soul Roots Radio DJ's flying in just to play for you, as well as talented DJs from the London scene! We will announce the full set times on Saturday.

Hope that covers the FAQs, drop us a PM if anything else and we'll try to get back to you asap.

We can't wait for you to join us for what will definitely be a fun afternoon! 🙌

Had an excellent time putting this months show together 🥳 I was totally immersed ❤️

Was inspired by my guestie Geiger to put together a mixtape style vibe with samples either linking tracks together or layered over tracks, creating an all vinyl soundscape made up of
throw-aways + keepers + random interjections.

Will def be doing more mixes like this…

The gals are gonna be holding it down 😜😜

Seen both headliners playing at events in the big smoke in the last coupla years…stoked beyond belief that they’ll be bringing the sound & definitive spirit of the scene to Norwich Gonzo's Two Room

I read a mega inspiring interview with last week, who gave much props to warm up DJ’s and their crucial role in building things up & getting the night rolling 🙏

That’ll be my job on the night.

Been busy buying & messing around with new tunes;
I’ve played plenty of sweetness n light in recent sets so heading over to a darker heavier side of the sound for this one 🚨🚨🚨

Will def be putting one OG hardcore track from 92 in my record bag, produced just prior to the cusp of the jungle revolution - and after that, plenty of new/recent output channelling the transition from hardcore to full amen.

Limber up 🙌
