The dL

Expect funk, hip hop, jazz, reggae and Afrobeats from The dL, a DJ who is also a musician. Growing up around records, with a father who collected them seriously, gave The dL a taste for quality music that doesn't stop at genre lines. The stage credits are real hip hop history: shared bills with De La Soul, Gang Starr and Lyrics Born, and warm-up slots for Raekwon and M.O.P. So expect deep cuts as well as familiar grooves. It suits a bar night, a party with music lovers in the room or an event that wants a DJ with genuine crate-digging knowledge.
