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 a special alongside CherryPie at The Chapel (Islington)
on Friday
16th April.
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.
