Thought it was about time I resurrected this thread rather than just posting one-off threads about Heatwave events every now and then

First up, Heatwave's DJ set from Bestival 2006 is now available to download - 78 minutes of dancehall/bashment, reggae, reggaeton, ska, jungle, soca and more...

Full info, tracklisting and mp3 link here - http://www.scandalbag.com/bestival.html

This is very very very very very good.

Cheers John!

The live at Bestival CD was reviewed by DJ Yoda in this month's Hip Hop Connection as well

"More reggae heat arrives this month in the form of the Heatwave crew's Live At Bestival CD. Recorded at the festival in September 2006, the CD takes in 46 tracks of dancehall/mash-up bangers, and includes as many airhorns, lasers and rewinds as you could possibly want. Some slightly dodgy mixing in places doesn't even take away from the brilliance of this CD - great tracks, great atmosphere and a sprinkling of reggaeton, calypso and jungle to spice things up"

The brand new Heatwave website is now online at www.theheatwave.co.uk

Also this Friday (19th October) we've got the London City Warlord Riko Dan at our monthly night again doing a bashment/grime PA... unfortunately it's the same night that skepta & co are at dirty canvas, but cargo's literally just round the corner from the pool and riko'll be on about midnight, so possible to catch both...

Riko's performed at a couple of Heatwave nights before and never fails to excite the crowd with his impressive skills on the mic, boundless energy and unique blend of Jamaican and British influences. Listen to his bashment set alongside The Heatwave back in 2005 here: http://www.theheatwave.co.uk/music/item/rikodan2005/
