DJ, radio presenter, music producer and event promoter Kev Beadle’s officially retired from DJing with a final, legendary Dancefloor Jazz set at Shiftless Shuffle in August 2016. Since then, Kev has been tempted out of retirement to play at a select number of events, including Messin’ Around at Margate Soul, and we’re honoured that he’s chosen to return to Shiftless Shuffle this October.

Joining Kev behind the decks is no other than DJ Harvinder who needs no introduction. Having worked at Honest Jon’s Records in London’s Portobello Road for some 16 years, Harv has worked as a DJ around the globe as well as presenting the highly acclaimed worldwide “Feeling Good” Radio Show on Point Blank fm every Tuesday. Harv has been involved in music production under the name of “We are the Horsemen” and of course he launched his very own Record Label “Outernational Sounds” in 2017, releasing various volumes of rare Indo Jazz Albums which have been met with great acclaim across the international (and outernational) Jazz world.

Shiftless Shuffle is a unique Jazz Dance session that combines a one hour long class in the specialist Street-Fusion Jazz Dance style with a 5 hour club session that follows the class. The class is open to novices and experienced Dancers alike and will be tailored to all needs on the day, providing the opportunity to learn the rhythmical, intricate footwork and so-called drop moves that are iconic and exclusive to this style. Teaching is da Boss Perry Louis, creative Director of The JazzCotech Dancers, who have danced with all the greats from Incognito to James Brown and Roy Ayers.

The ensuing club session has people flocking to it from all corners of the UK. Billed as “the coolest thing to do in London on a Sunday” by Time Out, Shiftless Shuffle is the place to hang out, be seen and be inspired to strut your stuff to some incredible music, or simply kick back with a drink and enjoy watching the many Dancers do their thing.
