RIDDIM & RUCKUS @ PLATFORM ONE
Our good friend Lady Banton has a new night starting at the end of the month. Definitely worth checking for some dance floor action! Here is the run down..
For those who love music that makes you want to get down & dirty on the dancefloor whether you stomp, step, skank or slide.
From dubstep to dancehall, reggae to hip hop, ragga jungle to bhangra, cumbia & other world beats, this party is about music that drives you wild on the dancefloor no matter what its called, as long as its ...bass heavy with plenty of Jamaican flavour to it.
Gracing the stage at the first RIDDIM & RUKKUS are:
AFFIKS & A13 - these kings of the massive dubstep party, Heavy Innit will be dropping a special reggae flavoured set just for us!
TROUBLEMAKER W/ BURN-CITY QUEENZ - Troublemaker will be bringing the freshest in reggae, dancehall and hip hop/rnb mashups, along with the ever blazing Burn-City Queenz, the hottest dancehall crew in Melbourne.
DJ BONNITA - has been whipping dancefloors into a frenzy for years. Slipping effortlessly from one style to the next she'll have you under her spell in no time.
JESSE JAHMAL - recently returned from homeland NZ, Jesse Jahmal is both producer and DJ, with killa selection from reggae & hip hop thru to jungle. Hold tight!
WANKLEROTARYENGINE (aka 3re) - part of the epic Croaking Lizard crew, 3re also a producer, loosely dancehall based, 3re stretches across too many sounds to list, but always heavy and always hot. Look out for some killer specials.
Your hosts LADY BANTON & GINGUS KHAN will also be dropping a tasty selection for your earbuds.
Come and get your dirty basement grind on, under the Flinders St Station - Platform One.
EVIDENCE (DILATED PEOPLES) @ THE ESPY
Evidence made his name as a part of the legendary trio Dilated Peoples, alongside Rakaa Iriscience and DJ Babu. Starting with The Platform in 2000, the group released four well received albums that contained several hit singles, including the Kanye West assisted smash "This Way."
In 2007 Evidence released The Weatherman LP, one of the most commercially and critically successful underground rap albums of the year. A solo effort ripe with introspection that ran the gamut from all his haters to the tragic passing of his mother, it was the album his fans were waiting for. With a foundation of sample-based hip-hop classicism (something that remains important to Evidence today), his debut wove together towering bangers like "Mr. Slow Flow" and uplifting cuts like "Chase the Clouds Away."
He then released The Layover EP on Decon Records and The Layover Mixtapewith DJ Skee in 2008—showing marked improvement in his lyrical style—and he's been touring ever since.
EVIDENCE WILL BE COMING IN STORE (Melb & Adel) TO DO A SIGNING - MORE INFO TBA
