End of 2021 Party - Jazz FM Voices
DJs from across the UK rep their cities
Last updated 20th Apr 2022
Throughout 2021 – the central point of Jazz FM Voices has been community. So, we continued that with our End of Year Party that spread across 5 nights between Christmas and New Year.
We visited London, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol and Liverpool – commissioning DJs to host an hour on Jazz FM that represents the sound of their city. Showing us what it means to go to a local party.
Manchester: Pablo Blanquito
Manchester based DJ, curator and event producer Pablo Blanquito presents an hour of music with a dancers mentality.
Bristol: Worm Disco Club
Nathan from the Bristol collective Worm Disco Club showcases an hour of his favourite cuts from 2021. There's some 'Worm Disco' releases, some broken-beat and boogie-fied sounds, and new music coming out of the city.
Liverpool: Dharma Collective
Liverpool based duo James Simms and Kole Akaju (aka Dharma Collective) present global sounds from jazz to disco.
London: Emily Dust
DJ, curator and broadcaster Emily Dust has an eye on global club trends and emerging sounds. A storyteller expertly weaving through the threads that bring disparate sounds together. Dancehall, baile funk, kuduro and gqom, kept together with the bass - heavy sounds of her native UK.
Leeds: NikNak
Leeds based turntablist and music creative NikNak presents an uplifting mix of jazz that’ll get you grooving.
