“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.

“The most original and exciting live show I have seen for some time”
