Dead Players

The Dead Players are many things. So many things that it is hard to know where to start.

These are the bones…

Dead Players are a trio of musicians comprising of Jam Baxter, Dabbla and Ghosttown. Dabbla and Baxter do the talking and Ghosttown does the sonics.

Baxter went public way back in 2010 during an interview for some local get up. He proclaimed that the person he would ‘most like to collaborate with’ was Dabbla of LDN Zoo. Dabbla heard the call-out and the creative cogs started turning. It was never a question of which producer to recruit; GhostTown had worked with both emcees in the past and filled the brief of someone with a vision potent enough to accommodate the demands of the 2 x lyricists.

The result? A camaraderie so colourful the UK scene continues to celebrate its inception all these many moons later.

The super group have released three LP’s to rapturous applause and critical acclaim, ‘Dead Players’ (2013), ‘Freshly Skeletal’ (2015) and ‘Faster Than the Speed of Death’ (2024).
