About Me

I am a Canadian-born, UK dj playing soulful dance music - from the jazzier side of the international garden. Off and on and on for over twenty years, I've sought out grooves from the left side of dance music - from 80s funk to jazz rock, broken, bossa and boogie. I'm currently based at Joogleberry Playhouse from 11pm on various nights.If you like hard jazz, shuffling bossa nova, firing afro, soulful funk and rare-groove, nu-jazz and deep house, check it!Contact here or [email protected] for tracklistings, information, to book and http://emancipation.mypodcast.com for my new podcast - talking music!
