| SHUFFLE! this Thursday! |
Shuffle! is all about uniting the foundation sounds of ska, soul and roots with today's dancehall sounds. This Thursday 20th October at The Chapel Bar (Islington) we've got the man known as ZINC FENCE, aka the Vintage Boss, coming down...
Long-time selector, editor of many LP sleeve notes, curator of [reggaezine.co.uk] and the Brixton Art Gallery, the Boss' been collecting records in London and Kingston for over 30 years... Be it rocksteady, rare roots or classic dancehall, Zinc Fence's got it all!
We'll mash'it up on the hiphop & dubwise tip whilst Zinc Fence showcases his treasure vault... So make it a date and don't be late!
Zinc Fence came down to the studio last May, check out his top rankin' selection if you need any further convincing!! [Listen]
Next One: Thu. 3rd Nov. Residents selectors are joined by Mustafa-I on the mic
No Tax on the door. 9pm - 1am.
