TWO STEP FORWARD
We are bringing to you a last minute, one-time-only Valentines special in the iconic Ashton Court Manor! Heart warming selection, soul softening vocals and knee shaking basslines. Rags to Riches in this poor man's takeover of the uptown!
PRESENTING:
DANNIELLA DEE - Rising star out of Coventry, and one third of 'Sisters in Dub', Danniella brings a refreshing selection of vinyl, covering 60s to next years hits. An experienced Radio DJ and avid crate digger / collector, she has also released an EP and has upcoming live shows in London. Watch this space!
MARTIN MELODY - A Fan favourite of TSF, those who have witnessed Martin's cadence and tone would surely remember him. A veteran of the UK dub scene, his last 30 years are dotted with releases, and his experience with sounds like Tafari Warriyah and Champion Love leave him well equipt for this session.
EYES ISAAC - Organiser, promoter and so-called 'resident DJ' of TSF, Eyes has a vast and unique collection of '45s, 12s and dubplates, covering all bases but bashment. Leaving the digital at home, strictly love songs and rockers to be expected...
ALOKA SACKI - coming from a backgorund of Neo-Soul, Dub and Hip-Hop, Aloka's unique blend of vocal styles has found her performing live in venues across Bristol and London, and is sure to leave those who hear in awe!
TEN2ONE HI-FI - Hailing from the steel city of Sheffield, Ten2One Sound has been reviving and defending the Rocksteady and Boss Reggae corner for the past year or so. Sonny Anderson brings an enthusiastic and joyful approach to selection. Rob Gordon is an experienced sound technician and producer, resposible for every Pre-Amp built locally and once founded Warp Records! Though he just plays dubs nowadays!
BRISTOL REGGAE SOCIETY - orignal community based promotion of over a decade, BRS has ran sessions in Cosies long time, with guaranteed quality selection and the occasional feature of MCs and even Horns! Coming this time with St Pauls stalwart RAS ADDIS, a respected elder known for his brilliant roots music and spoken word.
