Audio Book Derek Kaye Vol ll

Six years into book shop discos, we welcome our first volume ll & the return of North West legend & pioneer, Derek Kaye.

Derek's DJing career spans an impressive 50 years, which started out at the tender age of 11. Building his own light rigs & twin deck set ups, to work as a mobile DJ. This grew into offers for residencies & appearances on line ups of a burgeoning Jazz/Funk scene. His resume is full of iconic clubs & events, from Wigan Pier to Festival No#6. Recent work has include studio enigeering, production & mastering for the Super Weird Science label.

In support we have Simba, Yadava & Andy Parkinson.

Proud Prestonian, Simba, is a collector, selector, DJ & producer. He's played at Sankey's, Beatherder & supported the likes of Marshall Jefferson.

His productions on labels such as Shadeleaf, Hot Peas n Butter & Quintessentials have received great acclaim from fellow artists, like The Blessed Madonna, Dimitri From Paris, Marcel Vogel, Mr Scruff & Larry Heard, to name just a few.

Former child of Southport, Yadava can now be found residing in Manchester & part of the crew holding the All Kids Of Joy nights in the city center, providing all kinds of disco, jazz, funk & modern soul goodness. He's had original releases on Omena Records, Church & edits released on High Praise. He also holds down the 'Expansions' show on NTS Radio alongside co-host Contours. 

Unsurprisingly Andy Parkinson gets the call again, cursed nepotism.
