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.

09.19.12 - SONS OF THUNDER Opening Reception

Marcus Burrowes is celebrating the opening of his art show this week, so Scratch Famous and I will be bringing some of  our favorite 45s over to Lit / Fuse Gallery to play during some of the party. See below and come check it out.

Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 19, 7-10pm

Exhibition: September 19 through October 17, 2012

“Gleaning from a life of physical and musical journeys, Marcus Burrowes produces distinct imagery that is high contrast and dynamic. A man of many cultures, Burrowes was raised in the Rastafari faith and reggae community ­– his mother being a dub poet – but soon discovered punk and subsequently hip hop culture. These various music genres and their corresponding album cover art are major influences on his work. “Sons of Thunder” is an album title of reggae artist Dr. Alimantado. Burrowes explains “In Rasta jargon, lightning and thunder represent an extension of Jah (God); So in a way we all could be sons of thunder.” Burrowes will be presenting drawings and silkscreens.

As the founder and creative force behind RockersNYC, one of the streetwear industry’s most recognizable brands, Marcus Burrowes has taken his life experience as a New York City resident, a native of Kingston, Jamaica, and a local of California and Washington D.C.; and used them as major influences behind both his designs and in his personal artwork. He has shown in spaces such as Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City), Medicine Agency (San Francisco), MHI (London) and Swagger (Tokyo).”
