Following on from its successful ICA launch on Saturday 9th September, Dirty Canvas continues on Saturday 14 October, 2006 showcasing live performances from talented underground artists emerging from the grime and dubstep scenes.
Headlining this night will be The Movement, a grime supergroup making the biggest impression on grime 2006. The Movement is a collection of already established MCs and DJs from all parts of London. The crew includes Scorcher, emanating from North London and also part of the Cold Blooded crew and his Simply the Best mixtape relesased in the summer is one of the best from 2006. Taken from the mixtape “Chance Us” has been released recently on Logan Sama’s Adamantium Music Label. Another Movement member is Wretch 32 from the Combination Camp, whose Learn from my mixtape has been another huge release this year. Ghetto is perhaps the biggest veteran in the crew having starred as part of the legendary Nasty Crew, alongside the likes of Kano, D Double and Sharkey Major. His 2000 & Life mixtape is another acclaimed grime release this year. As Wretch 32 says “we’re pushing each one individually as solo artists and as a movement as well”. A combined Movement mixtape is coming in the autumn.
The Movement will be joined by L Man from Norwood and part of the big South London crew N Double A. L Man (the 'L' standing for lyrics) started out as a DJ and then switched to MC when joining the Gritty City crew. His mixtapes 'Facts of Life' Vol 1 and 2, and the hours he puts in at OnTop FM (Sundays 4-6pm) with DJ Frampsta have showcased his lyrical versatility, storytelling and use of wit.
Also on the line-up is DJ Logan Sama, who is widely considered to be the Westwood of grime with his Monday night Kiss FM (11pm-1am) programme being the scene’s prime time media slot. Logan, who will be DJing on the night, has been working hard on the scene having graduated from pirate radio (Rinse FM) and has now set up his own label Adamantium Music, to release the scene’s biggest tunes.
The dubstep scene’s Kode 9, who regularly DJs at FWD and DMZ and runs the Hyperdub label will also be DJing. Kode 9 has recently released the acclaimed Memories of the future dubstep alongside Spaceape and also put out Burial’s excellent album on his label earlier this year.
Dirty Canvas residents DJ Magic and Cov D will be spinning a selection of hype grime tunes while scene aficionado Zezi will DJ an eclectic urban mix from now and back in the day.
Other special guest mcs will be announced closer to the event date.
The third Dirty Canvas will take place on Saturday 18 November. Line-up tbc.
