DJ d.b.h is coming over to London to spin with us at Brentford Soul Allstars again!

He celebrates his return with a mix that has us thinking back to days of sunshine whilst looking at the leaves ready to fall from the trees. Yes, the nights are drawing in and we're moving inside ready to start dancing in The Lord Nelson once more!

The mix starts off with nice slow disco funk and then the tempo lifts and the beats get heavier...

We first met d.b.h. when he took the Breakin Bread crew on a tour of Austria many years ago, we quickly became good friends and now he regularly jets over to London for our Brentford Soul Allstars nights and sessions with the Beirut Groove Collective.

d.b.h. was one of the stars of the Austrian hip hop scene in the 90's and he's now a celebrated DJ and a producer with Restless Leg Syndrome crew
