Skylarkin Soundsystem presents Blunted @ The Zodiac
Pre-party @ The Brickworks
Thursday 27th July
So, we've finished our nights at The Cellar, for now. We couldn't go a whole summer without having a huge party - so here it is.
The lovely Aidan Skylarkin' has invited us to do a show alongside the prestigious Skylarkin Soundsystem. This night is not to be missed!
We will have a whole host of Blunted residents doing their thang over 2 venues.
Starting at 7pm @ The Brickworks, we'll have a range of sounds going down, dub, raggae, soul, ska and breaks. The running order wont be confirmed to late on so I advise you to get there at the beginning and stay till the end!
After warming things up at the Bricky's, the party will shift not 10m down the way to The Zodiac. All kinds of special things will going-off. OxRoc will be doing a routine to the finest Unia breaks (if they're not all injured), a very special 3 deck set will be going down. This will be topped off by Aidan then DJ Derek (2hr set) to rock your socks off too!!!!!
DJs include:
Shaka Man & Tucker Man (Dub/Reggae)
DJ Indecision (Funk/Soul/Reggae etc)
Unia (Funk/Breaks/Hiphop)
Grande (Hiphop mofuckas!)
Tom Burton (Funk/Soul/Hiphop)
Fabulous Hand (Soul/Breaks/Funk)
Aidan Skylarkin (Skylarkin Sounds)

DJ DEREK (2hr Set)
The Man, the legend DJ Derek

"DJ Derek is not the standard turntable spinner: he used to be an accountant, has a major cardigan habit and is in his late 60's. Derek started his love affair with music in the 1950's as a washboard player in a skiffle band before taking up the drums. Realising his taste was contrary to popular music and not enjoying the "wishy washy rock 'n' roll" of that era, he turned to the R&B sounds coming out of black America. In the thirty-odd years that followed, Derek not only packed up the drums and saw the end of his accountancy career at a chocolate factory, but took the bizarre step to become DJ Derek. Influenced by his 1950's Jamaican and British upbringing, he began to explore the "Sweet Memory Sounds" of ska and reggae. Since then whether satisfying large crowds around the world or punters at a back street Bristol pub, DJ Derek has continued to blow away audiences with his unique selections. His blend of reggae, dub and ska has made him an icon for many in the industry, including a host of Jamaican producers and Massive Attack. This ska and reggae maestro creates an unusual act - a middle aged white man in a suit and tie who MCs in Jamaican patois and has an incredible collection of 26,000 reggae and ska tracks all transferred from vinyl to mini disk. This release is a collection of DJ Derek’s favourites which he has been thrilling the crowds with for over 3 decades. With an ever burgeoning fan base and endless performances at venues and festivals around the world, he truly is the man of the moment and a welcome addition to the Trojan ranks!"
