SOLD OUT
4 years after the Worldwide Award nominated record The Unmaster, Dizraeli announces the release of his new album JOY MACHINE with a 15-date UK tour.
Recorded almost entirely in a single day at the legendary Total Refreshment Centre in London, JOY MACHINE brings together some of the most exciting musicians in London’s new jazz explosion. With vocals from Dizraeli (Worldwide Music Awards Best Album nominee), drums from Ben Brown (Alfa Mist, Mulatu Astatke), bass from uk jazz scene favourite Daisy George, synths from Joseph Costi (Yusef Cat Stevens, Bahla) and saxophone from free jazzer Ronan Perrett.
Ranging from the uplifting summer anthem Greek Summer to the fierce political commentary of Bored of What, JOY MACHINE is a record for our times, bursting with urgency, intensity and life, and one that cements Dizraeli’s position as a boundary-destroying wordsmith and musician.
Having spent 2023 deep in creative mode, Diz is on tour with the band around the UK across April and May 2024. Expect explosive energy, moments of tenderness and virtuoso musicianship.

Emily Magpie is an artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Bristol creating dream pop delving into different dimensions. Her recent EP 'She' on Def Pressé has been championed by Deb Grant, Tom Ravenscroft, Nabihah Iqbal and Emily Pilbeam on BBC 6 Music.
Set for release in 2024 with Def Pressé, her lyrics take us on a journey of self-reflection into the subconscious in which she lays out her flaws and fears in a way which feels simultaneously dream-like and razor sharp. Her production mirrors this vulnerability in its raw, textured electronic and organic sounds which shape shift into a myriad of unique atmospheric alt-pop landscapes. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Anna Wise, Sylvan Esso and Anna B Savage as well as philosophy, literature and nature Magpie takes the listener on a journey that is both otherworldly and relatable.
Of the album Emily says, "There are archetypes akin to yin and yang in so many cultures- the feminine and masculine. I felt I'd been focused on the masculine, doing doing doing. I committed to spending more time in that internal, feminine, dreaming space which felt like a radical act for myself and within our society. There's so much I never valued or took the time to process within myself. I found this quiet, vulnerable strength. I wrote this album in the midst of that journey and as a kind of magic spell to lead me along that path."
“Beautiful, I feel like I’m underwater when I listen to this. Amazing artist”- Nabihah Iqbal, BBC 6 Music
