Grammy-winning artist James Blake is preparing to bring a rare DJ set to Liverpool’s Camp and Furnace this July, in support of his seventh studio album, Trying Times, already building anticipation ahead of its release.

The acclaimed producer, singer and songwriter will take to the decks at the Baltic Triangle venue on Thursday 30th July, for an intimate club performance promoted by the team behind Liverpool’s Jacaranda Records. Known for blending minimal electronic textures with soulful songwriting, Blake’s DJ appearances show a different side to the world-renowned producer, revealing the club influences that shape his distinctive sound.

Joining him on the night will be UK rap star Dave, a serial collaborator of Blake’s, who is set to deliver an unforgettable support performance. Likewise, an award-winning talent, Dave has become one of the defining voices in British music over the past decade, bringing sharp lyricism and powerful storytelling to stages around the world. Expect to hear tracks the pair have previously teamed up on, such as "Selfish" and "History" from 2025’s The Boy Who Played the Harp, as well as their latest joint effort, “Doesn’t Just Happen”. 

The collaboration between Jacaranda Records and Camp and Furnace promises a standout moment in Liverpool’s 2026 nightlife calendar, bringing together two of the UK’s most celebrated contemporary artists under one roof for a night that bridges electronic music and hip-hop.
