The legendary out-spoken Scotsman has been around the northern soul & funk scene since the start and began his career as a dancer at the Wigan Casino. Soon he started collecting and buying Northern Soul in UK and from regular trips to the US and was starting to play around and in Wigan (including the casino). After the casino closed in 1981 he had gained a respectful reputation as a DJ.
He moved to London at the age of 22 and decided to start living a normal life and quit DJ'ing, but was quickly playing Northern-soul again due to heavy demand by old Wigan promoters. He brought the scene to London and drew the northern punters that had moved to London after the wigan scene dissolved. After a few years, the nothern scene faded, Keb sold his music collection but he still had a loft filled with 'junk' music (according to himself) that he had picked up in the states that was to-be classified as "Deep Funk" later on.
So in 1989 house music arrived in the UK, and Keb decided to play the funk grooves after a trip to Japan. He managed to get a regular night at a acid-jazz club called 'The Wagclub' and he finished there after a period. And around 1992/93 he met fellow collector Snowboy on the first funk-only night in London called 'Deep Funk', named by Keb (that he later used as a name to describe the sound) but arranged by the owners of the club (Club Ormones).
After a time, Snowboy and Keb wanted to push the funk sound further and they decided to start their own night in an old restaurant. The nights failed due to the domination of house and shut down after a few months.
Not so long after, they got a tip for a new location that was a strip-club in Soho called Madame Jo-Jo's. The location was perfect and they manage to arrange a weekly night to start with. The nights took off fast and are today the leading funk nights in London. Later on the strip nights closed and the venue became a full time music club.
Today he holds a weekly spot at the club (Legendary Deep Funk nights), traveling around the world DJ'ing, and running the label Kay-Dee Records with Kenny Dope.
He has achieved legendary status by far with a 60's & 70's musical knowledge second to none that is perfectly reflected on his BBE compilations.
By the late 2000's Keb diversified yet again - this time into '50s rockabilly, rockin' blues, original RnB and surf music. Along with his partner Little Edith he compiled a series of albums for BBE: 'Keb Darge & Little Edith's Legendary Wild Rockers', 'Keb Darge & Little Edith's Legendary Rockin' R&B' and, perhaps surprisingly, 'Keb Darge & Cut Chemist Present Lost & Found - Rockabilly & Jump Blues'. The sleevenotes to these albums contain vitriolic attacks on some of the music he once held dear and, indeed, on much modern electronic dance music in general.
=========================
In Keb Darge's own words:"I've done many a compilation in my day, mostly based around the tunes I played at my long running Deep Funk nights in Madame Jo Jo's. That night is no longer on the go, possibly due to a growing lack of interest on my part, (sorry). In the last few years the "Lost & Found" nights at the club have been my real passion, and indeed Little Edith's and Andy Smith's passion too.What a marvelous era this is for good music. We may still have pure shite like "dub step" pulling in large numbers of sheep, but an equal number of youngsters are being attracted to retro, or at least retro sounding music. People tell me it is because the youth are fed up with computerized music, or men with drug problems angrily shouting at them over a dull repetitive beat, but I know lots of teenagers who have bypassed this muck all together. Must be the internet that is helping kill off the demand for empty music. You no longer need to go to a retro club night, or indeed search out rare records to be exposed to good music, the internet is full of the stuff. My fifteen year old daughter is a Marc Bolan fan who while researching the poor fellow's influencesdiscovered Chuck Berry, Sun records, etc, etc.I don't really know or understand why so many are at last getting into the good stuff, but they are, and it is wonderful for the likes of me.
