Funk, soul, house and disco 'rare grooves' from the master DJ. Bank Holiday Monday mid-afternoon straightener.
Norman Jay MBE is unquestionably one of most respected and popular DJs in the world today. Born in Notting Hill, but inspired by the New York City dance scene, he built the Good Times Sound System, playing funk, soul and disco at Notting Hill Carnival and later on the then London pirate radio station KISS FM. Jay originally coined the term, and subsequently fostered the emerging ‘Rare Groove’ scene, filling the airwaves and many warehouse parties with the best in 70s & 80s grooves and nascent house cuts.
Pushing the boundaries of the UK’s emerging club culture he went on to spearhead the Acid Jazz scene, building a reputation as one of the world’s most popular DJs. The turn of the century saw Norman Jay receive an MBE from the Queen for services to music.
Today, he continues to convert generations of clubbers to the cause, championing new sounds, yet never forgetting his musical roots to guarantee nothing but ‘Good Times’.
