FRONTLINE #005

--------------------------

Big shout to all the crew that have been supporting Frontline Bristol since our first party in June 2016.



We have been really honoured to be able to host such great artists last year (ISHAN SOUND/ WHODEM/ KAHN & NEEK/ SEPIA/ CESSMAN/ DEVILMAN/ KILLA P) .



We intend to step in 2017 with the same top quality level of bookings, starting off on the right foot with Bristols own 'DUBKASM'





Artists Bio:



******DUBKASM******



A major part of the international roots and dub movement.

Whether collaborating with top vocalists like Solo Banton, Afrikan Simba and Rudey Lee or simply as a duo, their live show is unique and explosive, with heavyweight basslines, inspiring vocals, vintage dub styles and live instruments. DJ Stryda hosts (listeners will recognize his voice from fifteen years on Bristol's much-loved Sufferah's Choice radio show) and selects from his vast collection of vinyl and exclusive dubplates, while Digistep adds vintage dub effects, mystical melodica and firing saxophone. .

World famous for their anthemic ‘Victory’ – the best selling vinyl roots release of recent decades (recently remixed by Mala), the duo have released a stream of hard-hitting plates: the famous ‘Warrior’ 10-inch became legendary on Jah Shaka soundsystem and the sought-after ‘From the Foundation’ 7-inch, featuring none other than Dub Judah.









****ROOTS FACTORY*****



Roots Factory Records is run by Brigadier JC & Frankie Dread.

The two have been heavily involving themselfes in the regage music scene since 2007. Regular collaborations over the years with artists like Afrikan Simba, Solo Banton, Danny Red, Ramon Judah, Speng Bond, Jahn Screechy lead to the launch of a vinyl record label in 2014.

To date the crew have dropped 2 x 12" releases on this label as well as 8 x 7" dubplate releases.

The pair are avid dubplate cutters and have cut over 100 tracks to dubplate in the last 5 years, showing a commitment to tradition and quality that is seldom seen these days.

Expect back to back selection of Roots/Rocksteady/Digi/Dancehall/Dubplates, basically a journey through from the old to the new!
