Koko Electronic: DJ Jazzy Jeff

Philadelphia’s DJ Jazzy Jeff brings his turntable craft back to Camden for KOKO Electronic at KOKO in London on Saturday 22 August 2026. A key figure in hip hop DJ culture since the mid-80s and one half of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, he built his name on precision cuts, clean blends and a deep feel for groove. On stage he moves with ease between hip hop, soul, funk and house, linking sample-era classics with R&B, boogie and modern club rhythms.

Across decades behind the decks and with his A Touch of Jazz collective, he has worked with Jill Scott, The Roots, Slum Village and Will Smith, and shaped an open-format approach that values selection and flow. Expect long-form storytelling, sharp scratching and transitions that run from block-party staples to contemporary bass and broken beats, delivered with the control of a seasoned selector.

A night where old-school foundations meet today’s club energy, guided by a DJ who knows how to connect eras without losing the thread.
