Dave Lee (FKA Joey Negro) + Javi Frias

British DJ and producer Dave Lee, a pioneering figure in uniting disco and house, performs at Sala Villanos alongside Javi Frias as part of the Villanos del Jazz cycle and the new edition of JAZZMADRID.

Dave Lee is a British DJ and producer of house and disco, one of the names who began mixing fragments of disco classics with house rhythms in the early nineties. Active since 1988, he released his first album, Universe of Love, in 1993 and has around twenty records to his name over more than three decades of career. He is also the founder of the independent label Z Records. For much of his career he recorded as Joey Negro, a pseudonym he abandoned in 2020.

For this date he presents a set combining house, funk and disco. His style rests on pronounced basslines, string arrangements and melodies with a soul charge, in the vein of soulful house and of funk closer to disco, with a contemporary take on classic dance music sounds.

He shares the bill with Javi Frias. Sala Villanos is a Madrid venue devoted above all to live music, with a programme centred on concerts. The performance is part of the Villanos del Jazz cycle and the new edition of JAZZMADRID, the international jazz festival of the capital.
