NOVEMBER WILL MARK SIX YEARS OF SOUTH LONDON BASED DJS AND LABEL DEPTFORD NORTHERN SOUL CLUB AND DEPTFORD NORTHERN SOUL CLUB RECORDS RESPECTIVELY. FROM A SELL-OUT ONE OFF AT DEPTFORD’S NOW LEGENDARY BUNKER CLUB IN 2016, WILL FOOT AND LEWIS HENDERSON HAVE TAKEN THEIR HARD-HITTING BREED OF NORTHERN SOUL UP AND DOWN THE UK AND OVER TO MAINLAND EUROPE, FROM GLASTONBURY TO GREEN MAN, FROM BRISTOL TO GLASGOW, FROM DUBLIN TO DEPTFORD; FEATURING SOUL STOMPERS, HEAVY HORNS, JOYOUS PERSPIRATION, ECSTATICALLY HARMONIOUS STRINGS, DANCE MOVES YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND A HANGOVER YOU’LL WANT TO FORGET.
“WHEN WE PUT ON OUR FIRST NIGHT IN 2016 WE NEVER DREAMT THAT DEPTFORD NORTHERN SOUL CLUB WOULD STILL BE THROWING PARTIES FIVE YEARS LATER, LET ALONE ABLE TO ACHIEVE EVERYTHING WE HAVE. TO SUSTAIN REGULAR CLUB NIGHTS IN LONDON, BELFAST AND MANCHESTER HAS BEEN HUGELY REWARDING AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO’S COME AND SHOWN US LOVE OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS; WITHOUT YOU IT WOULDN'T MEAN ANYTHING! WE HAVE ALWAYS STRIVED TO MAKE OUR CLUB NIGHTS INCLUSIVE AND SAFE FOR EVERYONE AND MOVE AWAY FROM THE IDEA OF NORTHERN SOUL AS A CLOSED COMMUNITY. WE’RE HUGELY PROUD TO STILL BE HERE BRINGING YOU THE FASTEST DRUM BREAKS AND THE MOST DEEPLY HEART-WRENCHING VOCALS; THAT YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD BEFORE.” - DNSC, 2021
The past two years has seen Will and Lewis launch their re-issue label Deptford Northern Soul Club Records/DNSC.r with the aim of reintroducing the most coveted, lost, rare and unreleased Soul, Funk and proto-Disco back into the market at the best quality. With their aim of leveling the playing field for both DJs and music fans alike, the boys have brought fresh cuts from dance music pioneers; Sebastian Williams, Garnet Mimms, The Delreys Incorporated, Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye, to name a few. Now these dance-centric soul records are back on the scene for the next generation of party goers, audiophiles and DJs with the overarching aim to bring Northern Soul back into the conversation of modern dance music.
Post-pandemic Deptford Northern Soul Club have continue their residencies at both East London’s Moth Club and in The Pink Room at Manchester’s Yes and hit the road to bring some much needed excitement back to the people up and down the UK. 2022 has seen the boys return to Glastonbury and Green Man festivals before take their nights to the obvious next step with two massive shows at EartH, London and New Century, Manchester.
DNSC are ecstatic to see a rebirth to clubbing and the sense of community that can exist within four walls while records are spinning. It is one of the only oases in a confusing, dark, and twisted world. Long live clubbing culture. Long live Northern Soul. Long live togetherness. Long live a heavenly utopic future. And finally; long live Deptford Northern Soul Club.
