2014.JAN.24. UK. Brixton. Saints Don't Sleep

Brixton’s finest residency continues it’s lengthy run of form into 2014 with a line-up packed with the crème of house music. On Friday 24th January the SDS crew will once again take over Brixton Jamm with Andrès, Eddie C and NO FAKIN all on hand to help shake off the post Christmas blues. As ever Saints Don’t Sleep residents will be on hand to provide some musical diversity with a fresh mix of Funk, Soul, Hip Hop, Disco, and Garage.

 

Heading up the bill DJ Dez, AKA Dez Andrés, AKA Andrés needs no introduction. The Detroit native and former Slum Village tour DJ has developed into one of the most revered DJs and producers in the world. His peerless CV has seen him work with legendary artists such as J Dilla and Moodymann, and release a number of critically acclaimed LPs and singles including what was undoubtedly 2012’s biggest record ‘New For U’. It is a huge honor to have such an exceptionally talented artist play for us and we are incredibly excited to hear him take us on a kaleidoscopic trip through House, Hip-Hop and Soul.

 

Next up is Eddie C who could well be described as one of the funkiest men in electronic music. Armed with a formidable multi-genre record collection and his own productions which range from Slo Mo, to well-known edits and straight up disco - he is certainly one of the scene's heaviest hitters. His style draws many similarities to hip-hop culture through a comparative use of sampling, vinyl’s and edit culture. Expect hands in the air and smiles on the dance-floor as Eddie C’s sets are characterized by cosmic sounds and deep, lush and beautiful grooves.

 

Completing the bill in fine style are the supremely-gifted No Fakin’ DJs. Hailing from Liverpool the collective featuring Kwinzola (Friends & Family), Fredo (6ix Toys: Tru Thoughts), DJ Illson (Fat City) and extended family member Peter Parker (Fingathing) can be seen using 4 Turntables, samplers, drum machines and other gadgets to rock dancefloors across Europe. Music fans in the truest sense of the word, No Fakin DJs are famed for playing mesmerizing sets and with residencies at Chibuku in Liverpool and the Garden Festival in Croatia as well as regular appearances at Fabric in London it is a real treat to have them grace the Jamm.

 

Saints Don’t Sleep is all was created on three basic principles. Simply they provide good vibes, quality music, and a reasonable price. Having booked the likes of Djrum, Youandewan, Nicholas (live), Voyeur, Citizen and Homework SDS has quickly established itself as one of London’s most exciting and respected underground nights. Currently in the vibrant cultural hub that is Brixton, SDS has built a solid and loyal following that packs out the 600 capacity Brixton JAMM every two months.

 

So make sure you are in attendance for another night of quality music and guaranteed vibes.
