Giant Step welcomes International DJ, band-member, co-founder and one half of the world famous production team The Herbaliser, Ollie Teeba to the decks.

The Herbaliser are all about moving forwards, onwards and upwards. Bonding over a shared love of jazz, funk, rare groove and hip-hop in the early 1990s, West London duo Jake Wherry and Ollie Teeba have evolved with each chapter in their 15-year story. On their latest album, 'Same As It Never Was,' The Herbaliser hit a dazzling new peak. With a new label (!K7 Records), a new main vocalist, and a new focus on soulful songwriting, this is their richest and most diverse record so far. A timeless modern soul record, it should appeal not just to specialist fans but also to a new generation seduced by the knowing pop-soul nostalgia of Amy Winehouse or Mark Ronson. Glossy and gritty, organic and eclectic, 'Same As It Never Was' builds on the band's hip-hop roots with jazz, funk, R&B, pop and instrumental soundtrack influences.

Jazzy instrumentals will remain a Herbaliser forte, and they admit, "We've always had one foot back in the 1960s and 1970s, but at the same time we pay a lot of attention to making the beats hard and clubby, mixing R&B and hip hop in that DJ Premier or Tribe Called Quest vein."

**Twenty Hudson parties will be held fortnightly on Mondays.
