Basil 'Black Patch' Jarvis

Basil 'Black Patch' Jarvis

"DJ, original soundman, founder and owner of the Black Patch soundsystem and a forefather of Notting Hill Carnival from the very first beat, Jarvis has been spinning smooth soca sounds and rich velvety roots ever since he first moved to West London from the Caribbean. Bass has oozed like honey into the crowds of fans that have surrounded his soundsystem at the iconic Mangrove for nearly five decades strong."
