Wah Wah 45s proudly present the return of international tastemaker, Gilles Peterson's favourite DJ and one of the finest producers on the planet, Lefto, to the beautiful Yard venue in Hackney Wick. Add to that Wah Wah 45s head honchos Dom Servini and Scrimshire, as well as rising star Bopperson and bright young things of soulful London club culture, the Unwanted Family, and you've got the prospect of one serious party! LEFTO As one of the most important tastemakers Europe has to offer, and affiliated with labels like Brownswood, !K7, Jazzy Sport and Stones Throw, this bearded party starter is always a couple of steps ahead of the crowd. Just check out his radio show on Belgium's biggest station, Studio Brussel, for evidence of this man's forward thinking attitude. Never assume to know Lefto's next move though, and with his roots in jazz and hip hop you could just as easily catch the sound of a 60s bossa rarity or Golden Era rap cut in the mix. Famed for his gloriously eclectic DJ sets, he switches efortlessly between genres, and is a demon on the mic too! His skills have seen his international demand rise sharply in recent years, and since 2008 he's been a resident at Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Festival in Sete, France. His global travels resulted in the Worldwide Family Vol.1 compiation in 2011, and he has more recently compiled albums for American Apparel and Universal Music. www.lefto.be www.mixcloud.com/leftooo DOM SERVINI, SCRIMSHIRE & BOPPERSON Servini and Scrimshire are the men behind Wah Wah 45s, a label with a soulful yet eclectic outlook, currently celebrating 16 years of diverse musical output. Dom is also a respected music journalist, radio host and DJ in his own right, and Scrimshire is simply one of the most talented DJ/ producers around right now. Backed up by new boy to the fold, Bopperson, this trio will be flying the Wah Wah flag with a back-to-back set of dance floor delights and Wah Wah family favourites. www.wahwah45s.com UNWANTED FAMILY This crew of twenty-somethings have been causing somewhat of a splash in London of late with their epic underground parties and seamless, open-minded DJ sets across the capital. Wah Wah and Unwanted started working together late last year, and it's a combination that seems to bring out the best in both, and in the crowd, who can't seem to get enough of these boys right now! https://twitter.com/UnwantedfamDD

Event Review: Jazz:Re:Found Festival (Turin, Italy; 29th November to 3rd December 2017)
Embraced by the Alps Mountains in the North-western area of Italy, Turin is a city marked by its aristocratic past and industrial history. This contrast best represents the city’s multiple facets: richness and poverty, innovation and tradition, history and modernity all living together in one place. This blend and mix…
