DJ Andy Smith returns to BGP with a new compilation linked to his successful club night Jam Up Twist which operates monthly in London, Dublin and Bristol mixing up rock’n’roll, R&B, Northern Soul and ska. Smith, who made his name DJing and providing samples for Portishead and the Prodigy, has become an internationally acclaimed DJ whose ground-breaking mix CD “The Document” introduced a whole new audience to the idea that old music could be as exciting as the new. His “Northern Soul” CD for BGP was very successful. On “Jam Up Twist” Andy mixes up and brings together some incredible sounds in one seamless mix. It moves from the primitive rockabilly of Al Ferrier, through West Coast 50s R&B monsters including Johnny Watson’s ‘The Bear’, onto the irresistible sound of the Skatalites and pounding soul from Toni & The Showmen and the San Francisco TKOs.
