DARGZ
nu-jazz hip-hop jazz soul jazz
Influences: Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers
DARGZ is a multi-instrumentalist and producer who blends 90s East Coast hip-hop with the UK jazz-soul sound, with collaborations alongside Blue Lab Beats, Oscar Jerome and Moses Boyd. The music sits somewhere between boom-bap grooves, warm jazz-soul chords and London's broader jazz community, with a sound built on golden-era New York hip-hop. Raised on 90s East Coast rap, he has over 170 million streams and support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 and KEXP, and this show launches his forthcoming album NEW NEW YORK YORK.
