Dave Duplock ( London, UK)
I've been promoter and DJ at East London's (small but perfectly formed) Walls of Heartache for the last 18 years and have regularly played guest spots at nights across London in that time, travelling to Europe to play in Italy and Spain on several occasions.
Comfortable playing 60's and modern my current top 5 60's plays at the moment
'The Utopias Girls are Against Me'
Willie & the Mighty Magnificents - 'Check it Baby'
Frankie Lyman 'I'm sorry
Rocky Gil & the Bishops - It's not the end
The Vashons - We'll be togther
However I never really know what I'm going to play until it comes out of the box but I'm guessing on a Sunny afternoon it'll be more modern tunes like
Masterpiece- Love Affair
Percy & Them - Look in the Mirror of my Eyes
Tony Troutman - what's the use
Dennis Taylor - Fantasy
Darrow Fletcher - It's no mistake

Marc Garletti / Marc Diabolik ( France)
I'm marc , and here are a few things about me. I was born in a french west coast town with a strong 60's mod identity. Is thus I naturaly join the "mod trip" when I was teenager. It was a time of my first concerts, events and first record purchases especially blues, jazz, soul and jamaican. Lulled for years by beautiful american black voices and electric english sound i started to play records in Marseille where i was living, at the time I was in a DJ duet called the rockin soul brothers, and focused on Blues and Rhythm & blues. With Time i had the opportunity to play records in the four corner of France and sometimes abroad. My musical tastes has since opened to soul, funk, boogaloo late 60’s and early 70’s. It 's a great pleasure to participate at this famous weekender sharing music and meeting exceptionnal people on an awesome place.
The Barrino Brothers - just a mistake
Soul senders -I got to get a move on
Carol Woods & the executives - Heart breaker
Angela Davis & the mighty chevelles - My love is so strong
Mighty lovers - Ain't gonna run no more
Oscar Perry - Face reality
Mark Capanni - I believe in miracle
Joe Bataan - what good in the castle (part 2)
Frank Williams Rocketeers feat Little beaver - It's all over
Belita Woods - Magic corner

João Tenreiro ( Porto, Portugal)
I started collecting records for about 8 years now. At first i was mainly into late 80s and early 90s house music from Chicago, New Jersey and Detroit where i played weekly in big clubs in Portugal. My obsession to dig deeper then led me to world music of all sorts from a lot of Latin and African countries ( Nigeria mainly ). At this time i had two monthly nights where i played all this stuff across the board in Lisbon and Porto. For the past two years my passion for soul music grew much bigger and since then i have been buying and collecting mainly sweet, crossover and modern soul. I currently have a monthly night at Cafe Au Lait (Porto) where i have been spinning all my soul 45s with an occasional event in other places. Since i was a very young kid i learned to appreciate soul music because of my dad. He has been collecting records for a long time now and had these compilations he did for a monthly night of his (Dancin Days) which i used to listen daily on repeat mode. Never would i imagine after 15 years i would be doing the same.
5 in the bag for Deep Cliffs :
The Tripplettes - That Man Of Mine
Ellipsis - People
4 Jades - Gee, How I Miss You
Ronnie West - Lil Woman
Neno Exporta Som – Deixa A Tristeza

Sallie Reynolds ( Bornemouth, U.K)
Sallie Reynolds DJ and promoter has a life long love of soul music in all it’s many guises. She first got her soul fix at the local youth club before venturing further afield in her quest to hear new tunes. In the mid-70s the underground allnighter scene beckoned and she became hooked, travelling all over the UK. Sallie has promoted a number of events in London, Southampton and more recently Soul in the South allnighters in Bournemouth. She is a member of the Lost Soul DJ crew in the town. Nowadays she can be found spinning tunes around the UK and Europe. Sallie’s style is eclectic and her raw passion shines through in each set she plays.

Christophe Imbert Double Cookin' Barcelona, Spain
Salut,
My name is Christophe aka Tof, French national living in Barcelona. I started collecting and djing 60s soul & R&B in the early 2000s in France, running regular nights in Lyon and Bordeaux for almost 10 years. Then moved to sunny Barcelona and since I’m co-hosting a little club with my mate Fonsoul, named Double Cookin´. Over the years, I had the chance to spin records in various places over Europe and US (Paris, London, Helsinki, Cleveland, Chicago, Lyon,…) and also in our local clubs (Boiler, Movin´On, Take Ivy, WambaBuluba…). First time in Portugal and really excited to share desks with such a great lineup of djs.
Musically, my background is mod sounds and R&B and this is what I´m mainly collecting/playing today. But considering me an openminded person, I like many different styles from early 50s to late 70s, including R&B, jazz, deep funk, gospel, latin, JA,…and of course SOUL, any kind… So you can expect an eclectic/over-the-board set, perhaps a bit more deep for the alldayer than my usual night stuff.
Here 5 tunes I will certainly carry on with me for Deep Cliffs:
- Eunice Collins – At the Hotel (Mod-Art)
- Reggie Saddler Revue feat. Richie Shade – Just Wait and See (Aquarius)
- Super Grupo – El Gheto (Odeon)
- Bro Roberts – Alcohol pt.1 (Jo Ann)
- The Little Rock Coachmen – I Had Enough (MY)
Never been really productive on making mix and so on but you can check here few things on my Mixcloud page and an old JesterWild Show from me. -

Fernando Alvarez (Leon Spain)
Hi, my name is Fernando, aka Fer 00-Soul.
47 years old outside but I stopped at 22 within my spirit, so 25 of difference mentally...
Living in the city of Leon in the cold north of Spain, but always traveling due to my job.
I have been collecting black sounds for more than 30 years and have been evolving from “only 60s mod sounding” to everything that makes my heart beating and my feet moving.
I used to be DJing (but no so much in the late 10 years due to paternity) all through Spain.
In these days I could play any black sound from 50s till now, but I always prefer those late 60s and first 70s sounds to be spun on decks.
My Top 10+1 current spins (and some more):
Johnny Bartel - If this isn’t love - Solid State
Betty Lloyd - I’m catching on - BSC
Zu Zu Blues Band - Zu zu man - A&M
John Bowie - You’re gonna miss a good thing - Merben
Headliners - Little sister - Super M
Jimmie Ellis - Happy to be - Century City
Soul City - Cold hearted blues - Goodtime
Terry Callier - Look at me now - Cadet
Betty Turner - The winds kept laughing - Crescent
Jon Lucien - Do you believe in me - RCA ep
Gospel Comforters - Yes god is real - Marcs
I know I’m going to have a great time with all of you in the sunny and beautiful Portuguese coast (com um bom prato de bacalhau a Brás e muita cerveja).
Here you have my Mixcloud channel if you want to hear some homemade mixes from me.

Tolbert ( Hamburg, Germany)
Socialized in the early 80’s as a punk and skinhead, Tolbert was drifting more and more to the soul and funk thang at the end of the decade. His is first Soul-DJ gigs in Kiel at the legendary Pump Funk were a freak out. In Hamburg he started the Rare Pleasure Soul Club and is the host of the Hamburg Soul Alldayer. Tolbert’s focus is on 70’s Soul, but he also loves some northern rammtammtamm.
Some songs that I like to play, not really a Top Ten:
Barbara Lynn: Mellow Feeling
Bobby McClure: High Heel Shoes
Luther Davis Group: You Can Be A Star
Darrow Fletcher: Secret Weapon
Milton Wright: Leave Me Alone
The Now Generation: People Make The World Go Round
Sons Of Kingdom: This Is My Story
Willie Tee: concentrate
D. Watson: What’s On Your Mind
Breanda Jones: Big Mistake
