the big man riko will be at heatwave vs mas fuego doing an exclusive ragga / dancehall pa and hosting the night this friday at the rhythm factory.

there's a link to riko dropping some dancehall style verses on rinse on this thread http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=1233
he kills it on the new south rakkas riddim which is a kind of JA take on garage.

more fire on the night from heatwave djs and quality diamond, who was supporting beenie man at stratford rex last month. dj turna (vital) bringing the freshest soca selections from a recent trip to trinidad. plus danny cubano from havana doing a latin hip hop thing in the back room alongside lubi and mdk and their reggaeton styles.

yungun smashed it last time - this one should be even better.

probably won't get riko on till 12 30 or so - once the place is really buzzing - so yeah that should be fine.

bionic ras - by the guys who did clappas and red alert.

they call it 'electro dancehall'. we call it garage.

it's all over 1xtra / radio 1 but not out on 7 or on pirates yet...

greensleeves riddim album soon come.

apparently riko got given the instrumental - seems like a good move by south rakkas or greensleeves if they gave it to him.

yeah right, someone finally realised it'd be a good idea to get uk artists on the big dancehall riddims, so bionic ras is gonna feature cuts from jd aka dready, dynamite mc and maybe more.

this heatwave thing sounds nice by the way... :p

it's not bad - just keep out of the way of the promoters. they're a right pair of dodgy characters ;) .

i'll deffo be down for this, especially as i'm probably not going to make the soundclash now.

spoke to riko yesterday, he'll be voicing on old ragga, new bashment and a bit of grime - riddims like:

- punaany
- mud up
- bionic ras (new south rakkas; reminiscent of 2-step!)
- military
- pum pum (exclusive refix by 15-year-old wunderkind producer joker out of bristol's kold harted kru)
- general
- gype
- pepperseed

it's gonna be large...
