<strong>Red</strong> Bull Music Festival London “Dance music is an inclusive space. <strong>The</strong>re’s a common thread that unites everyone” Anz Anz & Riz La Teef Sunday drivers Anna-Marie Odubote, better known as Anz, couldn’t be further from the image of an aloof DJ hiding behind the decks. <strong>The</strong> London-born 27-yearold rarely stops dancing through her own sets, which she describes as “a mishmash, a taster of music I like, from old-school, breakbeat, hardcore and rave all the way to Afrobeat”. In person, she has the same exuberant energy and a huge smile. Anz began creating and posting her own music to SoundCloud about four years ago, and someone soon messaged to say they wanted to book her. “I was like, ‘To do what?’ So my partner and I got a ratty mixer and a pair of old £80 CDJ-100S CD players. That’s how I learnt.” Now, she’s released a debut EP – Invitation 2 Dance (dedicated to “the boys who used to muscle me off the decks at house parties”) – and has just played iconic Berlin nightclub Berghain. “I was worried it would be techno-focused and 4/4 serious music, but they told me to do whatever I wanted. It was 4am to 6am at the Panorama Bar, so I had a nice slot – although I accidentally got drunk at the artists’ dinner and had to have a nap before my set.” Today, the Manchester resident is optimistic about marginalised voices in the industry. “Dance music is a fairly inclusive space, even if it can sometimes look like it isn’t. At the parties I play, there isn’t a sense of otherness because, whether you go for this one DJ or genre, there’s a common thread that unites everyone in that space. It helps.” Anz is just as excited to be in the crowd when her friends are on the decks. “I’m looking forward to Afrodeutsche playing with Aphex Twin [at the RBMF finale at Printworks] because she’s a friend in Manchester. Going from us playing together in my living room to seeing her play in that context is unreal.” South Londoner Riz La Teef started spinning records in 2008 when his university housemate went on a foreign exchange and left his decks behind. His name comes from an unusual source: the BBC news. “We used to watch the news for London every day and the presenter was called Riz Lateef,” he reveals. “I thought it kind of sounded like someone who steals people’s Rizlas.” La Teef is known for cutting his own dubplates, and this year the 30-year-old started his own record label, South London Press. So, what do people get at a Riz La Teef set? “A bit of everything: dubstep, garage, funk and grime,” he says. “I still play vinyl. I’m pretty analogue. I’ve got about 3,000 records in my front room.” Here’s a DJ who knows how to move a crowd – no matter the size. “I’ve played Fabric three times. <strong>The</strong> first was at about 11pm and it was just me and the security guard. He seemed to like it, though.” <strong>September</strong> 8: <strong>The</strong> Sunday Club Union Car Park, Great Suffolk Street, SE1 In the late ’90s, <strong>UK</strong> garage was the sound of the moment, dominating pirate radio and impacting on the Top 40. Its epicentre was the so-called ‘Sunday Scene’ – a series of laid-back daytime sessions across south London. On <strong>September</strong> 8, at a car park just south of the Thames, Anz and Riz La Teef will join a host of garage veterans – including So Solid Crew, Ms Dynamite and Todd Edwards – to revive the party series and celebrate those glory days of <strong>UK</strong> garage. “Playing tunes alongside this line-up is surreal and an honour,” says Anz. La Teef agrees: “With so many legends, it’s going to be quite interesting finding those off-piste garage tracks. Mike Millrain is one of the best garage producers ever. Jeremy Sylvester as well.” CLOTHING: RIZ LA TEEF: COAT, APC 48 THE RED BULLETIN
