This month we have something a little bit differernt and very, very special. Dreadzone Soundsystem and former Leftfield Reggae legend Earl 16 are coming to town to tear down The Attic. This is a truly heavyweight line-up - expect classic tunes a plenty!
DREADZONE SOUNDSYSTEM
(Virgin Records, Functional Breaks, Ruff Life)
Dreadzone was formed by Greg Dread back in 1992 along with fellow founder Tim Bran. As the mainstay Greg steered Dreadzone through calm and troubled waters throughout their 15 year history through different line ups including constant members Leo Williams (ex BAD), legendary reggae vocalist Earl 16 (Leftfield) and MC Spee.
EARL 16
(Dreadzone, Leftfield)
Legendary "Leftism" vocalist, EARL 16 has one of the most distinctive voices in dance music, anyone with even a passing interest will recognise Earl's laid-back vocal talent through his contribution to Leftfield's, "Leftism" album which opened with "Release the Pressure". From growing up in Kingston, Jamaica, Earl built his reputation through his work on reggae, roots and soul projects with seminal artists including Lee "Scratch" Perry and Bob Marley's The Wailers. With performances across Europe including events from London Calling at Earls Court to Glastonbury, Earl is always full of energy and raring to go. Crash provides a rare opportunity to see a legendary artist in The Attics intimate surroundings!
