Ever since Notting Hill Carnival started in 1959, sound systems played a vital part in London’s cultural psyche. To celebrate this tradition, four of the city’s most pioneering sounds will stand up to be counted and play it out over four rounds with specific rules in London’s first cross-genre clash ever. Hosted by Don Letts, this once in a lifetime Culture Clash will see Jazzie B’s Soul II Soul, the mighty Trojan Sound System, Goldie’s Metalheadz, and dubstep pioneers Digital Mystikz also known as DMZ fight for the Roundhouse massive’s favour with nothing but big tunes from their respective scenes. The funki dreds of Soul II Soul were at the forefront of UK club soul in the late 80′s, scoring big both sides of the Atlantic via ‘Back To Life’ and ‘Keep On Movin’. With their iconic robo-skull logo, genre-defining 12″ releases, and legendary club night at Hoxton’s Blue Note Caf, Goldie and his Metalheadz label played a pivotal role in propelling the junglist movement to unknown heights. Trojan Sound System have been selecting the most crucial roots ‘n’ culture anthems for years. And Digital Mystikz aka Mala and Coki are amongst those to constantly push the vibrant dubstep and hardcore scene to new shores – whatever it is called right now. Check their own label/clubnight DMZ plus some truly earth-shattering sub-bass scorchers on Soul Jazz, Tectonic and Planet Mu. No ice cream sound allowed! Check these baddest sounds playing nuff big tunes from four generations of bass culture. Here you have the warm-up, where the DJs can play whatever floats their boat and take a sounding in the truest sense of the expression. Haul and pull? Not just yet!

Strictly Vinyl Mix – 5th Birthday is just round the corner. I though i’d do a mix of dmz through the years. From about 40 or records I managed to narrow it down to these ones. Unfortunately I dont have Pathways or Horror Show, would have like to start with those two. Otherwise I pretty had the whole selection to pick from. Enjoy.

By doing this we have been collecting and promoting material from a vast number of producers and DJ’s from the darkest depths of DMZ in Brixton to the hazily filled rooms of SMOG in Los Angeles. Regardless of the potential future of the genre, we lend a hand to the consistant local scenes that push the sound from their heart rather than their wallet.

We want to look back in 25 years time and be able to browse the (what will be) historical moments in dubstep’s infancy such as when genres were chewed up and spat out when Kode9 went b2b with Flying Lotus on Rinse FM or it’s landmark times such as when Mary Anne Hobbs showcased a whole new generation of dubstep soldiers.
