You would hardly believe that the Carnivalism partnership has been going for 7 years now. And although our public appearances aren’t as prolific as they used to be, think of us more like your favourite takeaway delivery, bringing the Carnivalism vibes to you, rather than you coming to us. But don’t think that’s the end of our playing live. Like Arnie, we’ll be back…

A gradual and beautiful introduction from  Deneice Williams is a precursor to a track that Norman Jay will inevitably play over carnival weekend. Free by J Marky & Makoto (feat.Deeizm) is a D&B rendition that featured in a podcast Norman recorded for Time Out last summer and is sure to set the crowds on fire this weekend.

After he parted company with BBC London 94.9 in February 2008 due to programming issues and although Jazzy B has done a sterling effort in filling the gap, you can’t help but feel London is a little less richer without the dulcet tones of Norman picking out some musical gems every Sunday.
