Dizraeli

Rapper, producer, firestarter. Songwriter, multi instrumentalist-raconteur… Dizraeli is a
genre of his own.

From his debut solo album Engurland (City Shanties) to touring the world and releasing the acclaimed Moving In The Dark with The Small Gods, on the way collaborating with artists as diverse as Kae Tempest, Jam Baxter and Eliza Carthy… and releasing his solo masterpiece The Unmaster, nominated for Album of the Year by Gilles Peterson in the 2020 Worldwide Awards… Diz has always forged his own way.

The pandemic was productive : aside from becoming a father to twin boys, Dizraeli released the Unmaster : Remixes & Versions LP on his Continuous Breath imprint, featuring collaborations with Alabaster Deplume and Orifice Vulgatron (Foreign Beggars), and remixes from Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming), Tom Excell (Nubiyan Twist) and DJ Simbad among many others.

He also conceived and crowdfunded the Twenty Years Deep sustainable touring project
which launched in Spring 2022 : touring the UK with a new 8-piece ensemble, travelling
entirely by train and electric vehicle, planting trees and distributing wildflower seeds in
every city. Taking in the UK festival circuit, including Glastonbury, WOMAD and the Main
Stage of Shambala, the tour’s finale was a huge show at the O2 Academy in Bristol, with
an audience of 1000 and featuring the ensemble and two local choirs.

This year he has already released The Kid, a 4 track EP exploring fatherhood and co-produced with Tom Excell – this was closely followed by Greek Summer, the first single from the upcoming Joy Machine album.

Joy Machine, a collaboration with some of the UK’s most exciting young jazz musicians,
will be released on the Def Pressé label in May accompanied by remixes from eminent
producers including FloFilz and with features including Alabaster DePlume.
