Dutty Moonshine Big Band

Formed in Bristol in 2014, Dutty Moonshine Big Band extends the universe of the British duo Dutty Moonshine into an expanded live version, conceived as a big band mixing electronics, brass, vocals and club rhythms. The collective evolves at the crossroads of electro swing, UK bass and electronic dance music, with a sound that fuses vintage samples, funk energy and hip-hop influences with a more orchestral writing than that of a classic electronic project. Dutty Moonshine Big Band has developed on stage in the United Kingdom and at festivals, giving its productions a live form carried by a brass section and several performers. In terms of discography, the group released Most Wanted in 2019 and City of Sin in 2020, two albums that establish this identity between soundsystem culture, revived swing and British dance music. Dutty Moonshine Big Band thus sits within Bristol's scene while engaging with broader circuits of electronic and festive music, where the collective circulates a repertoire built for live performance as well as for the club.
