Strange Brew Presents
Jack J Band (Pender Street Steppers / Mood Hut / Canada)
+ ddwy (live) (Public Possession / Inner Totality / London)

Strange Brew presents an evening of live breezy house & dream pop from Jack J band and ddwy

Best known as one half of Vancouver production / DJ duo powerhouse Pender Street Steppers and boss of the massively influential Mood Hut records, Jack J has been an important figure in the house revival of last 10+ years. His instantly recognisable sound pallet and ear for hooky, breezy & low-slung house music has recently been translated into live format, releasing the beautiful and easy-going album 'Opening the Door' on Mood Hut in 2022 to much critical acclaim. On November 1st 2024 he releases his follow-up 'Blue Desert' which further refines his knack for hook-heavy, dancefloor-friendly ear worms.

Tonight his three-piece band will play tracks from his album as well as Mood Hut classics LIVE.

ddwy, the Welsh word for two, is a duo of D.J.s and producers Inner Totality and nangi. Both residing in London with the latter having her roots in Sri Lanka. The two first came to our attention through demos they shared, that felt refreshingly different from most of the current offerings in the electronic music scene. A slightly slower pace, spiritual, organic, resting within itself, yet driving and aimed very much at the dancefloor. A compilation of tunes released on Public Possession as their debut offering titled 'Sprig Songs', which was very well received by press and the D.J. pool.

Digging a little deeper into the history of ddwy you will find out that they are doing the music thing for quite some time, check D.J. Mixes on underground household series like Sextags 'TrushMix', Pender Street Steppers 'Libra mix' or listen to their shows on NTS for proof!

This year has been their most prolific in terms of shows playing festivals and clubs across the globe both live and as D.J.s incl places like Solistice Festival, Public Records NYC, Postbar Helsinki and many more. All awhile being extremely active in the London scene hosting parties and putting on shows in different venues.

Entry requirements: no age restrictions (under 18s to be accompanied by an adult over 21yrs, 1:1 ratio)
