One of the most legendary UK underground artists, Kaidi Tatham, will be at the wheel for 3 hours next month. He is easily one of our favourite musicians, as well as producers. Kaidi is a multi-instrumentalist and you will find his name credited on more than 800 records over the past 25 years, leaving in his wake a trail of brilliance. It’s no secret that he’s a beast on the decks too.
Named "The UK's Herbie Hancock" by Benji B, few musicians in recent history have had such a widely felt impact on UK dance music. He is one of the creators of Broken Beat. His work defies genre but honours a fabric of musical culture with roots in hip-hop, jazz, soul, and boogie. Few musicians throughout recent history have had such a widely felt impact on UK dance culture, whether knowingly acknowledged on the floor or not.
Kaidi's been at the helm of remix and session work for artists such as Mulatu Astatke, Slum Village, Marcos Valle, Amy Winehouse, Soul II Soul, Nubya Garcia, Rosie Frater-Taylor and Leroy Burgess. His own releases are featured on iconic labels like First Word Records, 2000 Black, Neroli, Eglo Records and Theo Parrish's Sound Signature.

As well as his work in the studio - Kaidi is known for tearing up dance floors. Most recently, he was invited to play Folamour's 4myppl party in Paris, Secretsundaze, AVA Festival and We Out Here festival. Those of you at We Out Here last year know what a highlight his set was.
His talent has and will continue to be revered by so many across the musical spectrum. Madlib, Gilles Peterson, Mr Scruff, K15, Theo Parrish, Volcov, Sassy J and Kyle Hall amongst countless others continue to support and praise his efforts.
A prolific titan of the UK underground scene in a 200 cap space is going to make for a very special evening...
