You probably know Jazzie B as vocalist, DJ, rapper, producer and general musical polymath for London-based collective Soul II Soul. Throughout their heyday in the late 80s and 90s, this Brit Award nominated group’s soul and R&B sound stormed the charts and enjoyed considerable crossover success along the way, making its way into clubs up and down the country. Today, it’s almost difficult to imagine clubland classics such as ‘Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)’ and ‘Keep on Movin’’ not existing. Fast-forward to the present day – more specifically, May 2018 – and Jazzie B will be showing off the DJing side of his persona as part of a festival warm-up for Southport Weekender and Croatian festival SUNcéBeat 9. We reckon it’s unlikely (although possible) that you’ll be heading to both these festivals, but put that aside for a moment because regardless, this one’s gonna be a lot of fun. Now sing it with us: back to life, back to reality…
