[BIOG STUFF]

HEATWAVE
Bringing the heat straight from the Caribbean to the streets of Shoreditch
(93 Feet East, The Reliance and On The Rocks), Heatwave,s 100% dancehall
sessions kept the summer feeling going throughout autumn and winter this
year Featuring only the most dancefloor-friendly, foot-bothering sounds of
dancehall, soca, bashment and reggae, the Heatwave selection from Xiquet, Mr
Pannot and Sam mashed up the dance every time. Still keeping the heat alive
with a new residency at The Brixtonian, from Saturday 10th April.

DIAMOND & TEXAS
Bristol,s brightest bashment star, Diamond has worked with dancehall legends
such as Sizzla, Sugar Minott and Eek-a-Mouse as well as UK pioneers Smiley
Culture and Blacker Dread. Joined on the mic by his sparring partner Texas,
another member of the JA/UK crew 5th Element.

XIQUET
The master beat-matcher of the Heatwave crew brings a new technical style to
the dancehall arena, blending the impossible and coming up smelling of
roses. From a solid bashment base of the freshest new cuts coming out of
Kingston, Xiquet keeps it friendly - throwing in the choicest pickings of
R&B/hip hop dancehall refixes, 80s and 90s ragga classics, soca, bhangra and
reggaeton. Xiquet started out playing hip hop in Bristol 5 years ago but
really cut his teeth as a ragga DJ in Valencia, Spain. Also played
frequently in Barcelona and Alicante, including the U-Zona & Aldajah reggae
festivals alongside Buju Banton, Luciano, Mad Professor, Macka B and more.
Has since returned to mash up a bunch of dances in London and Bristol.

RUBY QUINCE
Ruby is a dedicated purveyor of the sound of now, flexing the newest rhythms
and always looking for fresh angles to mash up the dance. His is a strictly
party bashment sound, blending dancefloor monsters and exclusive remixes by
the NoisyBunch collective. A passion for hard, jacking rhythm means Ruby is
as likely to be found stepping out on the dancefloor as fronting his Cherry
Pie dances all over the capital.

MR PANNOT
Collecting dancehall and reggae since the early 90s, Mr Pannot started out
DJing a while back in house parties, free parties and raves in his native
Bristol. Prefers playing with one deck because he can,t really mix with
this selector it,s just big tune after big tune! From ragga revival and
lovers rock to the latest bashment and Pannot,s exclusive dubplate
combinations cut at his own Dub Studio

SIR ROBERT
Original Cherry Pie soundman with an ear for the hardest riddims, Sir Robert
has been DJing all over London for the last few years and pushing the
bashment sound to new audiences. He's a whizz in the studio, making sure
the NoisyBunch exclusives touch all the right parts - watch out for his
NoisyBunch remixes!
