DJAY ANA MAY, 8 years young, plays beats for the feet. Untempered by prejudices around musical genres or labels, she puts the records on and finds the groove, taking great joy in facilitating smiles and dances.
Agent J, aka Jamie Groovement or Jamito, loves playing records with his daughter. He co-founded hip hop social In The Loop which found its home at the sadly missed Roadhouse, and has warmed up for the likes of Say She She, Marlena Shaw, De La Soul, African Salsa Orchestra, Omar, Lowkey, KRS-One, Quantic, Norman Jay and many more.
As well as hosting shows on Reform Radio and Radio AlHara, last year he also co-produced the BBC 6Music series The Huey Show presents The Hip Hop Mixtape, hosted by Huey Morgan.
Of Chilean heritage, there’ll always be Latin flavours in what the pair play, amongst hip hop, soul, disco and all that good stuff with rhythm.
J loves warming up for international acts but nothing tops a back to back session with DJAY ANA MAY..
Recent gigs include Freight Island with Huey Morgan and Jenna G, and Band On The Wall for Baby Rock Sampler with Honeyfeet.
