'METROPOLIS' feat RONI SIZE and MC Dynamite @ Club Love!

New York's favorite renegades of bassweight, The 'Bass Fueled Mischief' Crew return with 'Metropolis', and in this installment we present to you UK Drum and Bass Legend: RONI SIZE

Bristol native Roni Size is one of the U.K. jungle scene's most respected names, with production credits spanning dozens of labels, projects, and releases.

The breakout success of his debut album New Forms (including Britain's prestigious Mercury Award) finally confirmed his stature and vaulted him to a greater degree of popularity than any other drum'n'bass producer.

Born to Jamaican immigrant parents, Roni grew up in the Bristolean suburb of St. Andrews (home to Tricky, Massive Attack, and Smith & Mighty), where he learned the fundamentals of hip-hop through the area's sounds systems, house parties, and underground clubs. Expelled from school in his mid-teens and running game through his neighborhood until risk became greater than reward, Size started dabbling with house and reggae production in the late '80s. He hooked up with labelmates DJ Krust, Suv, and DJ Die at the 1990 Glastonbury Festival, and the four stayed in contact, eventually forming Size's longest-running musical commitment to date: his own Full Cycle label. Formed simply as an outlet for the four's entree into the nascent drum'n'bass scene (Krust and brother Flynn [of Flynn & Flora] were already working with Smith & Mighty, while Die was producing hardcore tracks as Sub Love), Full Cycle eventually grew into a label group, releasing a steady flow of 12"s (on both Full Cycle and Dope Dragon), and a label comp, Music Box, in 1995.

The Full Cycle sound is a subtle mix of jazz and soul with jump-up rhythms and worldbeat references spanning from Roni's Jamaican roots to '50s bop and the Motown sound. Although hardly popular in the days before ragga (then jump-up) ruled the decks, the crew now counts a number of classics among their credits, including Size's "It's a Jazz Thing," Krust's "Jazz Note," and Reprazent's Reasons for Sharing EP, the crew's first outing through major-label subsidiary Talkin' Loud. The success of 1997's New Forms launched Size to the top of the electronica genre, and the Dope Dragon label continued to rise in the ranks of dubplate hysteria, with tracks from Selector Owoy, Gang Related, and Mask consistently passing muster on most DJ's decks. After a relatively silent 1998, Size returned in 1999 with a new project -- Breakbeat Era, with DJ Die and vocalist Leonie Laws. The trio released Ultra-Obscene in the fall of that year. In 2000, Size returned to the Reprazent project with In the Møde, boasting sit-ins from Method Man and Rage Against the Machine's Zack De La Rocha. He returned to solo productions with 2002's Touching Down and 2005's Return to V. Size has also mixed a two-disc volume in the Full Cycle mix series Through the Eyes.

Anyone know how the ticket situation is? I'm coming along with 5 or 6 friends, getting there hopefully just after 10, will there still be door tickets.

New Forms was the only vinyl i ever wore out, and partly responsible for blowing my parents speakers back in 1998... Good times.

Cannot wait!

Pre sales sold like hot cakes but we kept some tickets for on the door. You should be fine if you get there as early as possible. Doors open at 10pm.


LET'S DO THIS!

Roni+Dynamite tore shit up, Dnb, scratching, "live" instrumentation, a little bit of hip hop and dubstep. Ridiculous. Don't worry Andy C is up next, big up Metropolis for putting both of these together!
