Dennis has earned himself the reputation of being Britain’s reggae maestro, from pioneering early developments in the genre over 40 years ago to producing classic hits.
He is renowned as an accomplished multi-instrumentalist (playing guitar, bass and keyboards) as well as a sound engineer, composer, bandleader and producer.
As well as recording and producing his own music, Dennis Bovell continues to lead the UK scene with innovative and adventurous music. His demand as a producer has seen him work with The Slits!, Chalice, Thompson Twins and Bananarama.
He re-mixed albums for the great Marvin Gaye as well as Wet Wet Wet and The The, The Boomtown Rats and worked closely with Nigerian Fela Kuti.
Other great artists that Bovell has worked with include Alpha Blondy, Ryuichi Sakamoto 坂本龍一, Dexys Midnight Runners, Edwyn Collins and Pablo Moses.
And he is coming back to Electrik on Wednesday 27th for their One Deck Wednesday with…no deck. We are told Bovell will be bringing one IPad, one microphone instead… so we are excited to see how this one turns out.
Come join Electrik June 27th…no deck…1 iPad…1 microphone…no mixing…plenty of toasting.
