The Unmaster (2019)

I am so happy to start what will be a wild Dizraeli year of music with this offering for you; a 4-track EP co-produced with Tom Excell, the musical genius behind Nubiyan Twist and Onipa, and featuring pioneer of afrobeat Dele Sosimi as well as sneak cameos from a lot of my friends : Fran and Flora on strings; KOG on backing vocals; Danalogue on synths; Nathan from the Small Gods on bass…

The Kid EP is partly about the journey of parenthood, with The Kid and Oh My Baby Boy both dedicated to the pair of little mofos who've abseiled into my rave party and changed every single detail : Paco and Idris.

I hope this music makes sense for you

Dizraeli & Dr Syntax with the production malarkey of Tom Caruana. YURP. Here's the full crack with the project:

"Brighton based Hip Hop collective The Menagerie drop their first new record in eight years! 

Originally comprised of producer Tom Caruana (Wu-Tang vs Beatles) and DJ Nick Maxwell, alongside emcees Dr Syntax (Foreign Beggars/Mouse Outfit) and Professor Elemental (Fighting Trousers/Cup of Brown Joy), The Menagerie's last release was 2005's Wild Kingdom. 

After an eight year whirlwind of shows, solo projects and underground success, the team has reunited, expanded, and returned to the lab to cook up Irregular Spirits, a wildly original album filled with ridiculous flows, soulful ballads, and hilariously twisted hip-hop phantasmagoria worthy of The Island of Dr. Moreau. 

Joining the collective on this eccentric and eclectic project are Dizraeli (Dizraeli & The Small Gods), Longusto (Too Big to Play), Koaste (Black Grass/Kormac), Baba Brinkman (Rap Guide to Evolution), Jon Clark (Special School), Teej (Boiler Room Collective), Simon Mole (Mole & Iris/Chill Pill), Vecks (Ramblers Association/Genius Squad) and Sadie Jemmett (The Blacksmith's Girl), each adding a unique and indispensable flavour to the audio banquet; where enormous boom-bap bangers rub shoulders with excursions into the surreal outer reaches of the mind. 

The album was masterminded by the dusty beats genius of Tom Caruana, who is most famous for his 2010 Beatles vs Wu Tang album. It earned him thousands of downloads from eager fans and the admiration of Wu Tang's Raekwon, turning Tom into a cult Internet sensation. "

Cool and Calm

The song was written in response to the cascade of upheavals of 2016 - the election of Trump, the Brexit vote, the many terror attacks, the escalation and entanglement of the war in Syria... all these, along with my own struggles to sleep, to find calm, to stay stable in the midst of it, made for Madness. I hope it understands you.

Scan Your Biscuits With Dizraeli on Soho Radio - May 2020

Lockdown magic. Recorded in my flat wearing only bright orange boxer shorts & using 1 broken turntable, a pile of odd vinyl, one 1970's FM radio from Japan and a laptop. A journey through genres with a special focus on rap lyricism and culminating in some delicious garage

Dizraeli (Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Album of the Year 2020 nominee) weighs in to these difficult times with a club track about anxiety that transforms panic to pure dance energy, that has already seen plays from LeftO, DJ Khalab and Worldwide FM.

Dizraeli steps up to the plate as a remixer, reinventing his own track 'I Freak Out' as a slice of 140bpm gold featuring a legend of UK rap, Orifice Vulgatron of Foreign Beggars.

I Freak Out (Everything’s Fine Remix) is the second track taken from the forthcoming The Unmaster - REmixes & Versions LP (out September 2020 via Continuous Breath).

The first was the psychedelic Detroit-techno infused remix from Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming), and the project has many more treats in store including remixes and features from Afriquoi, DJ Simbad, Alabaster DePlume, Chestnutt (Snapped Ankles), Tom Excell (Onipa / Nubiyan Twist) and Spoek Mathambo (Subpop).

“Immense artistic vision… a fascinating artist.”

Rapper, producer, firestarter. Songwriter, multi instrumentalist, raconteur… Dizraeli is a genre of his own. From his cult debut album Engurland / City Shanties (2009) to the explosive new LP Joy Machine (2024) with its visionary mixture of hiphop, post-punk and jazz, Diz has always forged his own way.

A former resident of the legendary Total Refreshment Centre, Dizraeli’s new album Joy Machine was recorded there in a single day, bringing together some of the most exciting musicians in London’s jazz explosion. 

With features from Alabaster DePlume and trumpeter Jonathon Enser (Nubiyan Twist), drums from Ben Brown (Alfa Mist, Mulatu Astatke), bass from uk jazz scene favourite Daisy George, synths from Joseph Costi (Yusef Cat Stevens) and saxophone from free jazzer Ronan Perrett, Joy Machine has already made waves since its release on Def Pressé this summer, including Bandcamp Album Of The Day, 4 stars from Mojo and repeated support from Gilles Peterson.

The album tour hit 15 UK cities and festivals including Boomtown, Boardmasters, WOMAD and Shambala, cementing Dizraeli’s reputation as an explosive and masterful live performer with backing from Ben Brown, Ronan Perrett and Snazzback’s Rich Allen on bass.
