On Sunday 20th September, we continue our 25th Anniversary celebrations with what promises to be one of the most memorable Shiftless Shuffle sessions to date.

 

We're celebrating the release of The Shiftless Shuffle Dancefloor Jazz Compilation, produced in association with Impressive Collective and BBE Music. Compiled by DJ Perry Louis, the album is a carefully selected collection of tracks that capture the sound, spirit and community that have made Shiftless Shuffle such a unique part of the UK's underground dancefloor jazz scene over the past 25 years.

 

Featuring stunning photography by Jacqueline Mellor (Just Jaq) and beautiful sleeve design by Christos Parry, this commemorative release is more than just an album it's a celebration of the people, the music and the dancefloor that have made Shiftless Shuffle what it is today.

 

The compilation will be available to purchase on the day, making this a landmark occasion in the history of Shiftless Shuffle.

 

To help us celebrate, we're delighted to welcome one of the UK's most respected DJs and tastemakers, Kev Beadle.

 

Kev's musical roots run deep through jazz, soul, jazz-funk, fusion, Latin and Brazilian music, and for nearly four decades he has been one of London's most influential selectors, helping to shape the UK's underground jazz and soul scene.

 

He has played throughout Europe, Japan, the USA and Russia, appearing at clubs, festivals and weekenders around the world. His broadcasting career has included Starpoint, K-Jazz, Kiss FM, Solar Radio and, more recently, Totally Wired Radio, where he continues to champion both classic recordings and exciting new artists.

 

As a compiler, producer and label owner, Kev has worked with Blue Note, BBE, Charly Records and his own Clean Up Records, while also reissuing rare and sought-after 7-inch singles through his Mind Fluid Music label. His productions, remixes and re-edits have earned him enormous respect across the international music community.

 

Shiftless Shuffle has always been more than just a club session. It's a welcoming community built around great music, dancing and a shared love of underground culture. Whether you've been with us since the beginning or you're joining us for the first time, everyone is welcome on our dancefloor.

 

This celebration is about much more than marking 25 years of Dancefloor Jazz. It's about celebrating everyone who has helped make Shiftless Shuffle what it is today, while giving you the chance to take home a lasting piece of its history with this very special compilation album.

 

Joining Kev Beadle on the decks will be DJ Perry Louis, opening the afternoon in his own unmistakable, uncompromising style before taking you on another unforgettable musical journey.

 

We can't wait to welcome you all. Celebrating 25 years of music, Dance, movement and community.
