DjFraggle*
Dj Fraggle is a London-based DJ, promoter, and curator with a career spanning over four decades. Originally a dancer in the early 80s. His musical journey as a Dj began in 1985, inspired by the Funk, Soul, Jazz Fusion, and Boogie sounds of the 70s and the club culture of the 80s. Over the years, he has played alongside influential tastemakers such as Paul Trouble Anderson, Gordon Mac MBE, DJ Pogo, Billy Biznizz, Kev Beadle, Patrick Forge, and Paul Murphy, solidifying his standing within the UK’s soulful music lineage.

As a promoter, he launched The Time Tunnel in 1999 and later founded the acclaimed Poetic Soul night in 2001 — a multi-floor club experience that helped shape London’s underground scene throughout the 2000s. In 2012, he revived the brand through Poetic Funk and Poetic Jazz, pioneering the modern resurgence of 70s–80s Jazz Funk, Boogie, and Jazz Fusion. His events remain fully vinyl-based and are celebrated for unearthing rare cuts, deep album tracks, and forgotten gems.

His international credits include DJ appearances in Brazil, Morocco, Beirut, France, and currently a partner of the PVBR Winter Festival in Iceland. In the UK, he annually performs at The We Out Here Festival, Margate Soul Weekender, Hastings Hidden Beach Festival, Mi Soul Radio Grand Weekender, Dj Host on rotatation at The Ronnie Scotts, he has played at the Brixton Disco Festival, resident dj curating live events at The Fox & Firkin, headlined Across the Tracks after party. Also had a residency at the BBE Record store
Dedicated to preserving and pushing forward the culture of soulful dance music, Dj Fraggle continues to bring authentic, deep-digging selections to dancefloors across the UK and abroad.

Terry Jones *

The hugely loved and widely acclaimed UK soul veteran, Terry Jones, has been DJing to the UK and international Soul community for an incredible 56 years, having his own weekly London residency at the iconic Norfolk Village (and Spreadeagle) in Shoreditch for almost an amazing 23 of those. He continues to play throughout Europe including Soul fusion and Smart Soul, residencies at Brilliant Soul in Frankfurt, Southport Weekender (for 35 years), Suncebeat in Portugal and Croatia, as well as Bolsoul & Bolbeats in Croatia, Elevation in Sweden and so many other gigs in countries such as Italy, where he ran his own weekender Village Soul Italia in Tuscany for 6 years. Terry also presents his monthly show on Mi-Soul Radio – Access All Eras. During his mammoth 56 year career as a DJ, Terry never took to making music in studio… until now! As he makes his brilliant remix debut on F*CLR with his Village Soul Remix of Dan The Drum & Carmy Love ft Darren Morris, ‘Hurt So Bad’, DMCWorld goes Trainspotting with Soul DJ legend Terry Jones.
