Pressure Drop in Brighton

Brighton's finest Pressure Drop are set to present their infamous sound system beside the seaside this Easter Bank Holiday Monday (16th April) at the Concorde II, Brighton between 6pm and the witching hour. Joining them will be two times Knowledge Jungle MC winner Skibadee plus the vocal stylings of album collaborators Mr. Fishley and Vanessa Freeman. Turntable artillery comes courtesy of big guns Paul Daley of Leftfield fame (Hard Hands), Ian Simmonds (aka Juryman) (K7) and everyone’s favourite hombre The Mexican (aka Dj Mex) (Black Grass). Try it if you dare, it's bound to be more fun than sitting at home with a Thornton's egg. Probably. Ticket outlets:
Dome Box office (01273) 709 709
Rounder Records (01273) 325440
Bang Music (01273) 207136

 

Lazy Dog is 3

Ben Watt and Jay Hannan's revered Sunday deep house loungerama celebrates its third birthday in April. Never ones to rest on their laurels, they've decided to have two, yes two parties to mark the occasion in the same week (those crazy kids).

The Lazy Dog 3rd Birthday Party (Part 1) will take place at their west London home, the Notting Hill Arts Club, on Sunday April 15 while for the Party (Part 2 on Friday April 20), they will revisit the their favourite central London home The End which played host to numerous lazy Dog shenanigans last year for a full on knees up.

Messrs Watt and Hannan will take deck control at both events, but they whilst they run tings in the main room at The End gig special guests from New York label, Chez Music plus NYC's Matthias 'Matty' Heilbronn and label guru, Neil Aline will large it in the lounge. Look out for Everything But The Girl's "Back to Mine" compilation, compiled by Ben and Tracey and released on DMC at the end of April.

 

Bob Marley and The Wailers Return

There are a handful of albums which every music fan must have in their collection - 'Catch A Fire' is surely one of them. Not only did the 1973 album signal reggae's international breakthrough and the emergence of its patron saint but it remains one of the genre's finest albums. Appropriately then, the most comprehensive and ambitious re-issue programme of Marley recordings kicks off on Universal Island with the release of this special expanded edition of the groundbreaking album. This 2 CD set features the original UK remixed and overdubbed album plus the original previously unreleased version of the album recorded in Jamaica in 1972. Included here are two songs not heard on the other CD - 'High Tide or Low Tide' and 'All Day, All Night'. Both discs have been newly remastered, the rare Jamaican versions have been remixed by legendary Bob Marley & The Wailers engineer Errol Brown. The 'Catch A Fire: The Jamaican Versions' CD reveals for the first time, mixes of all 11 tracks as they were completed by The Wailers in Jamaica. In these versions, the music has the same simplicity and directness that marked the records they were releasing for Jamaican consumption on Marleys own 'Tuff Gong' label.

Bob Marley was honoured with a 'Lifetime Achievement' award at the Grammy's last month and has this month been entered into the 'Hollywood Walk Of Fame'.

Catch A Fire (Deluxe Edition) is released by Universal Island on April 16th 2001
