10.11.12 - Downtown Top Ranking w/ BROTHER CULTURE

Brother Culture is one of UK's most renowned reggae MC's. Based in Brixton, London, he first started chanting on Jah Revelation Muzik Sound System way back in 1982 and spent much of the 80s touring around the UK, the US, Canada and the Caribbean. In the 90s, UK reggae began expanding into the sounds of Drum & Bass and he proved adept at adapting his unique style to an ever-expanding audience which has made him a fixture in the revived UK Dub and Roots scene.

DJ Q-Mastah is part of the Sound Liberation Front crew that promote bass-heavy sound system culture throughout NYC and beyond. This Friday will be the launch of Dub Stuy Records and also the unveiling of Sound Liberation Front's Tower of Sound (a custom built 10,000W Sound System) that will be used to blast the sounds of Brother Culture live alongside members of Dutty Artz, Dub Is A Weapon and others at the Paper Box in Brooklyn.

We're happy to welcome Brother Culture and Q-Mastah as this week's guests for Downtown Top Ranking! Q-Mastah will be on the decks while Brother Culture performs a few tracks live and will bless up the mic as he pleases throughout the night.

You can also listen to them from earlier in the day on Queen Majesty's Jamaica Rock show
at EastVillageRadio.com HERE.
