FRIDAY 21ST JANUARY | 9PM - 4AM
To kick-off the new year we are throwing a launch party to celebrating the release the monumental Righteous EP at The CAMP Basement. Following our sell-out new years eve party at Big Chill House, this first session of 2011 promises to be a massive night, with live performances from the exciting talent featured on the 4-track EP.
We are delighted to announce that legendary MC Danman will be performing a live PA of Righteous on the night. Danman has conquered the Reggae scene on an international level as the front man of Iration Steppas and a respected recording artist on a wide range of classic Reggae and Dubstep releases. Playing alongside Danman on the night will be Evergreen, the producer behind the original Righteous single. Evergreen is already making waves with his Gentleman’s Dub Club and Submotion Orchestra projects and is definitely one to watch for 2011. Expect a lively selection of pounding Steppers, Dubstep and Roots, including dubplates from his own Rankin Records imprint.
The Righteous EP follows the seminal Ghetto Priest single; Evolution. The 12” Righteous release uniquely meanders between 4 sub-genres of Reggae, covering classic Dub, digital Steppers, Dubstep and Future Bass. It has already made its way into the record boxes of taste making DJs such as N-Type & Rob Da Bank and after its official release on February 7th, its set to send shock waves through sound systems across the globe.
Our third and final special guest on the night will be Righteous remixer Dark Arx. Fledgling producer Dark Arx is a key player in the emerging London future bass scene. His remix on the EP builds on his influences of Dub Techno heros such as Rhythm & Sound and the Basic Channel movement. Dark Arx will be playing the final set of the night, with a classic roots selection, morphing into an exploration into the fringes of the Dubstep & Future garage. This is a rare treat at Reggae Roast, prepare to delve deep into the future of London’s electronic soundscape. Fans of Scuba, Peverelist and Ramadanman are in for a real treat here.
Also playing on the night will be founders of Reggae Roast Exel & Moodie and resident Dub Hunter. This months session will be hosted by our very own Ramon Judah. Expect to hear the freshest selection of classic Revival, Dub, Steppers, Dubstep and Digi-Roots as well as forthcoming dubplates from Reggae Roast Records.
This first dance of 2011 at The City Arts & Music Project will set the tone for an exciting year to come as the monthly residency plays host to a plethora of artists from across the UK and beyond, supported by our very own Roots & Culture specialists Exel & Moodie.
