A I T C H. B

Aitch B (H.B) is one of “The Original Funki Dreds” of the SOUL II SOUL sound system.

After meeting Jazzie B in 1983, Aitch’s work ethic, knowledge and love of music helped to make him an integral member of the collective.

From the blues parties and warehouse scene, to the birth of London’s ‘original rare Groove’ era, to the ground breaking Sunday nights at the Africa Centre to the then legendary friday nights at The Fridge, Brixton, Aitch was there on the cutting edge, playing tunes that really mattered, further establishing him as a well known and respected figure helping to nurture London's expanding club scene.

As SOUL II SOUL (The Band) stormed into the national charts and began to spread their happy face, thumping base for a loving race philosophy world-wide, Aitch employed his lyrical writing abilities and penned the lyrics for one of their biggest hits ‘Get A Life’ as well as many other tracks on various Soul II Soul albums and other music projects which included artists such as James Brown and The Jones Girls.

Currently Aitch is one of the principle organisers and DJs of ‘We Love Soul’ (www.welovesoul.com), one of London's top soul nights out for the over 30's crowd. The event regularly plays host to top UK and US soul artists who perform live alongside an array of DJs playing 70s & 80s Soul Funk Boogie & Disco/ Soulful House/ and 90s R&B.

He also hosts regular radio shows on various stations under the moniker of SOUL360 playing a mixture of soul, funk, disco, boogie and rare grooves through to nu classic soul, R&B, house and reggae.

AITCH B’s passion for his music and desire to share as a DJ ensures an enthusiastic response from his audiences.
