A night of new 3D music, iconic DJ sets and film with: Aswad in 3D - a unique spatial / 3D playback of tracks from their new LIVE LP. Ramrock HiFi presents DJ Ashley Beedle revisiting his era-changing DJ sets at Shock Sound System, the first crew to play house music at Notting Hill Carnival, with label boss and veteran DJ Jo Wallace. Turner Prize nominated queer, trans and non-binary collective Black Obsidian Sound System (B.O.S.S), present DJs Mellowdramatics and Sham. A special screening will celebrate 50 years of The Harder They Come starring Jimmy Cliff - the film that Rolling Stone magazine credited with taking reggae to the world in 1973 - played back over EartH’s state of the art L Acoustics sound system.
The event is part of the national DLUHC Windrush Day Grant Scheme.
Plus an after-party by Dub legend Aba Shant-I (separate ticket).
Aswad, formed in Ladbroke Grove in 1975, were one of the first home-grown acts to help Caribbean music take root in Europe - working with legendary artists such as Burning Spear, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. Reggae hits in the 70s, such as Back To Africa, Love Fire and Warrior Charge, were followed by chart-toppers like Don’t Turn Around in the 80s and 90s.
Ramrock Hi-Fi is a combination of two outstanding DJ talents – UK music don, Ashley Beedle and trailblazer, Jo Wallace. Between them, they have over 80 years DJ’ing experience within the realms of reggae, house, rare groove, jazz and everything in between. Ashley Beedle and Shock made their mark as the first sound system to play House music at Notting Hill Carnival. Ashley went on to become a legendary producer, credited with turning Elton John’s Are You Ready For Love into a UK chart-topping dance hit. His own work also topped the charts as X-Press 2 with Lazy ft David Byrne, as part of an imense legacy of remixes and productions.
