Keb Darge (born 1961) is a Scottish DJ and music producer, in the genres of Northern Soul and Rockabilly music. He is credited with inventing the term “deep funk”.
Darge has described himself as “a bit of a thug” in his youth.[1] In his late teens, he “picked a fight with the only English boy in the town”; the other teenager beat him up, using taekwondo moves. Surprised, Darge asked him how he had done it, then began taking taekwondo classes.[1] He eventually became a taekwondo world champion.[citation needed]

Darge began disco dancing in his early 20s, and entered in local disco dance competitions (dancing in the “northern soul style”) in the North of Scotland. He made an appearance in the nationally televised 1979 UK disco dance finals. He also danced at the Wigan Casino, whilst collecting Northern Soul records.

Soon after he began dancing, he was DJing in Wigan at a club next to the casino, and around Scotland as well with his record collection throughout the 1970s.
