The University of Kent record label, Foundry Records, released the new album from ‘Dat Brass’ on 14^th October. Dat Brass are a London based 10-piece group of hip-hop noisemakers, with members including two Kent alumni, Jake Heath and Jack Tan. The album was recorded and mixed by University of Kent Music Technician, Frank Walker.

‘Dinner’s Ready’, the second studio offering from the Dat Brass boys, sees them reach a new maturity and individuality in both their sound and content. Whilst undeniably still a high energy brass and percussion feast, the album features heavy cuts from DJ Dubba Dutch resulting in a modern and unique hip-hop sound.

Dr Rich Perks and Dr Ruth Herbert, lecturers in Music Performance at the University of Kent’s School of Music and Fine Art, have been awarded Kent’s Humanities Faculty Teaching Prize 2018.

The two received first prize for their work on ‘The Integration of Peer-Review, Reflective Feedback and Reflexivity into the Teaching and Assessment of Music Performance’. They were presented the award by University of Kent Vice-Chancellor, Karen Cox, at a ceremony on 3rd October.
