This New Year’s Eve, DJ Fraggle takes over the Main Room from midnight until 2am, delivering a journey through the sounds, rhythms and grooves that have defined his decades behind the decks. Expect deep Funk, Soul, Jazz-Funk, Boogie, Rare Groove and beyond, selected with the knowledge and instinct of a true vinyl devotee.
A dancer on the club scene in the 1980s, Fraggle began DJing in 1985 at house parties before progressing to London’s renowned venues, from The End to Soho House and Shoreditch House. His international performances have taken him to Brazil, Beirut, Morocco, France, Iceland and Edinburgh, with appearances at Brixton Disco Festival, We Out Here, Margate Soul Weekender and Mi-Soul Weekender.
The force behind the vinyl-only session Poetic Funk, Fraggle is also co-promoter of the PVBR Icelandic Festival, a co-partner of Black Frequencies, and co-founder and producer of The Antiquarians, whose latest release, “It’s You I Adore,” is making waves on dance floors.
A host at Ronnie Scott’s, a regular at AfroBrazilika and the annual Poetic Funk after-party at Hidden Beach, Fraggle continues to champion musical depth, originality and the culture of the dance floor.
