SOUND CLASH CANTON
The Boiler House Graffiti Gallery, Cardiff
Fri 28th June
Reggae and ska fans! Boiler House is teaming up with Grandmaster Clash Events for an evening of good vibes with a dub twist as two DJs battle it out to win the affections of the crowd. The two heavyweight selecters hail from the local Dub In The Pub and Peaceful Progress crews; Tumbleweed, known for his dancefloor bangers, will be taking on Brain, a specialist in Japanese ska. Both Tumbleweed and Brain were previously involved in transforming the old Lansdowne pub into one of Cardiff’s busiest reggae hotspots.
Master of ceremonies will be Dregz, once of Cardiff hip-hop crew the Skinz, and partly responsible for bringing the Higher Learning nights to Cardiff, including names like Grandmaster Flash and Ozomatli. The event has been built around the values of good people and good music, which means free entry and a non-profit venue – held in the Boiler House Graffiti Gallery, the UK’s first dedicated graffiti gallery space.
Support for the evening will be provided by Rich Roast and Rob45 – each bringing their own flavours of reggae, funk and disco, this pair have over 35 years of experience between them.
Admission: free. Info: 07977 138587 / boilerhousegraffiti.com
