IMPRESS!VE Collective & BBE Music present: DJ Perry Louis – ‘Shiftless Shuffle: UK Dancefloor Jazz Compilation’ Perry Louis is a pivotal figure in the UK Jazz dance movement. As a dancer and choreographer, producer, DJ, broadcaster, and founder of the internationally respected jazz-dance collective JazzCotech Dancers, he is perfectly placed to curate this collection. Perry has been at the heart of the scene since the early 1980s, from JAFFAS, the Electric Ballroom, Dingwalls, Acid Jazz, Hi Hat and Messin Around, taking its energy and sound as far as Japan, USA and St. Lucia, India, all around Europe, and Canada. This compilation celebrates 25 years of Shiftless Shuffle, with Perry as its ambassador and driving force. Over the years, he’s collaborated with top DJs including Paul Murphy, Gilles Peterson, Snowboy, Colin Curtis and Shuya Okino, helping shape the UK jazz dance sound into a global phenomenon. The album blends deep Jazz, Fusion, Latin, and groove-driven tracks, reflecting both the scene’s rich heritage and its forward momentum. From the brand-new exclusive track Kyoto Jazz Massive ‘Get It Together (Samba Fusion Mix)’ to first time ever on vinyl, Bunny Brunel’s ‘Fickle Funk’ and hard hitting Tom Grant’s ‘Caribbean Fire Dance’, this compilation tells the story of a movement, an underground culture born on UK dancefloors that has now captured a worldwide audience.
