Dig A Litte E7 LIVE (June 2015) – Rob…

Is it nearly July already? Then we better get cracking with the mixes from June’s Dig A Little in Forest Gate! First up on the turntables this month was resident Rob Coley who set the mood with a strictly vinyl selection (just check those crackles at the end – Rob clean your records!! of deep jazz nuggets, mellow soul moments and something fresh from Polish beat maker Galus. It was a laid back blend that eased the previous night’s hangovers and prepped the floor for Geoff Leonard’s sweet set (forthcoming). Dip into it and don’t forget our Camden Dig this Sunday, where you’ll find Rob and friends taking over the back room of The Forge from 2pm for another pop up record fair, and late into the evening, a live Jazz session from a quintet led by Ms Jessica Lauren and original Jazz warrior Claude Deppa! Thanks for listening.

Dig A Little NW1 LIVE (May 2015) – Miguel…

Ahead of our next Camden Dig and Live Jazz session at the Forge Arts and Music venue in Camden next Sunday, we present our final live recording from our May date. Miguel Colmenares from colectivofuturo dropped in early doors to sell a few records and play a little set for us, and come 5pm he certainly didn’t disappoint dropping an superlative set of vinyl only treats before the band took the stage for the evening. Kicking things off with the delightful ‘Flora’s Song’ from Brazilian legend Airto, Miguel weaved together 70 minutes of 70s fusion and more contemporary gear, setting the scene perfectly for what was to come.

Pulling out an assorted collection of 45s, ranging from the soft rock openers of Ambrosia’s “You’re The Only Woman” and Dan Fogelberg’s ‘Missing You’, to the raucous hip-hop of Pete Rock & CL Smooth and the club-friendly bounders of Ponchartrain and L&H, Matt blessed us with 115 minutes of solid tuneage which more than got the room nodding on several occasions.

Our next set from this month’s Forest Gate forage comes from the man like Girth Devon.

Kicking things off with some classic Ramsey Lewis vibes, we dip into the music of such 70s stalwarts of The Isley Brothers, Bettye Lavette, the recently departed Ben E.
