Saturday, December 21: A remarkable assembly of jungle and drum and bass legends will unite at Brixton Jamm for a one-of-a-kind fundraiser event dedicated to supporting Deman Rockers, one half of the iconic Ragga Twins. The lineup boasts an incredible roster, including General Levy, Fabio & Grooverider, Kenny Ken, Jumpin Jack Frost, and more, delivering a night of high-energy performances. This event is not only a celebration of jungle music’s roots but also a rallying cry for one of its most influential figures in his time of need.
Deman Rockers, one-half of the Ragga Twins, is currently battling severe health challenges after suffering a spinal injury that has left him bedbound and unable to work. With mounting medical expenses and ongoing care needs, this event seeks to provide critical financial support through ticket sales and direct donations. Fans and artists alike have stepped up, demonstrating the deep respect and love the jungle community holds for Deman.
As pioneers of jungle music, the Ragga Twins, trailblazers whose unique blend of reggae-style vocals and breakbeat-driven sounds shaped the early jungle scene. Their seminal tracks like Hooligan 69 and Spliffhead remain cornerstones of the genre, inspiring generations of artists.
Beyond their music, the Ragga Twins brought unmatched charisma and energy to the underground scene, carving out their status as cultural icons. Their contributions transcend their catalog, playing a critical role in the rise of jungle and drum and bass as global movements.
At 1 More Thing, we’ve had the privilege of hosting the Ragga Twins as headliners at our boat party in 2023, showcasing their enduring appeal and undeniable stage presence. This event at Brixton Jamm is an opportunity for the community to show appreciation for Deman Rockers’ extraordinary legacy.
The fundraiser has sparked an outpouring of love from the music community. On social media, artists like Jumpin Jack Frost and DJ Brockie have praised Deman Rockers‘ influence, urging fans to donate and attend the event.
“Our brother Deman Rockers is in hospital recovering from a very technical spinal operation and we are raising money to support one of our most dedicated soldiers,” Jumping Jack Frost recently posted on social media. “ I spent an afternoon with him last week and he was in good spirits.”
Tickets for the event are available now via Resident Advisor, with all proceeds going directly to support Deman Rockers’ recovery. For those unable to attend, donations can be made through the official JustGiving page.
This is more than a night of music—it’s a call to action. It’s our chance to give back to an artist who has dedicated his life to the culture. Together, we can celebrate the legacy of the Ragga Twins and help Deman Rockers receive the care he needs.
