NYE: DJ Format
Book Club line up DJ Format to play Mardi Gras New Year’s Eve party
New Year’s Eve; a time to celebrate, reflect and take stock of the future… so what better way to ring it in than with a DJ set from one of the heroes of British hip-hop music at a Mardi Gras-themed party at one of East London’s new flagship small venues?
Hosted by The Big Ten Inch and Disco Shed, The Book Club, one of Shoreditch’s favourite small rooms with a funky design, will be transformed into a carnivalesque time-warp passage to New Orleans – the birthplace of jazz, rhythm & blues, marching bands and black magic – soundtracked by UK hip-hop pioneer – the man responsible for 2003 LP ‘Music For The Mature B-Boy’, collaborations with Jurassic 5’s Chali 2na and anthems such as ‘Ill Culinary Behaviour feat Abdominal’ – the one and only DJ Format aka Matt Ford.
Joined by Jerry Dammers of The Specials, The Congo Faith Healers, DJ Wrongtom, Scratchy and Samuel Preston, expect hip-hop, funk, jazz, Latin, reggae, northern soul and disco to wriggle its way down your ear canal on what promises to be the biggest small party of the year.
