DJ Spoony's Selection

Presented as part of the pan 麻豆社 'The Music Is Black' season in collaboration with V&A East Museum, DJ Spoony celebrates Black British Music and the people who made it.

DJ Spoony explores the V&A East Museum's first landmark exhibition, celebrating Black British Music and the people who made it. Through personal stories, artefacts and artist contributions, Spoony shines a spotlight on pivotal moments including UK garage, reggae, 2-Tone, Afrobeat, rock 'n' roll, jungle, rap and trip-hop.

With the exhibition's curator Jacqueline Springer, Spoony reflects on his own career and the significance of UK garage, discussing the influential club night Twice as Nice. Then, to help DJ Spoony bring his selection of items to life, he enlists the help of Alesha Dixon, Pauline Black, Level 42's Mark King, Beverley Knight, Femi Koleoso, designer Isabell Kristensen, Morcheeba, Omar, The Cookie Crew, The Kingdom Choir's Karen Gibson MBE and Professor James Walvin OBE, Rampage Sounds, Fabio & Grooverider as well as archive of Sir Elton John and Sir Idris Elba!
