In 2010, Suspect Packages Live, a monthly showcase of Uk Hiphop, was launched at Vibe Bar in London, and now, we’re introducing it to the West Country, with Disorda giving us a live DJ-set of his Dub Chronicles radio shows rocking the finest from the foundation & forward. A Reggae, Roots, Rocksteady, Ska, Dancehall, Dub, Lovers Rock, Steppas & Dubstep selekshun.

The super tight live band from the long-standing weekly hip hop night Contraband Sessions hosted by DJ Skint, deliver the heat with heavyweight instrumental funk and classic hip-hop breaks, Skint on the cuts with Da Hybrid on the mic plus a few special guest's thrown in for good measure! And if thats not enough the b-boys will be busting some serious moves down on the floor!

Contraband Breaks Ensemble are: Jim Hopkins, Arj Magee, Troy Da Hybrid, Evan Newman and Dj Skint. Hiphop truly comes alive when they fill the stage so this brings our night to full circle.

J’dakut, Ironfingaz & Dizar aka Invincible Armour

Fingerfood & Squared Roots Clothing

Fingerfood, hardworking DJ/Producer on the Bath and Bristol scene for the last few years with Dusty Heads Crew, now launches his clothing label, Squared Root Clothing. With original designs and hand screen-printed by the man himself, this is dressing yourself in art. And with Fingerfoods defiance of Serato and MP3’s, it’s not surprising that the design flying of the shelves uses the image of the dearly loved ‘Rooted Records’ shop on Gloucester Road, with the tag ‘Support Vinyl’.

With the artwork on the flyer crafted by Fingerfood, this launch party will have exclusive prints being sold, t-shirt and hoodies, and bonus giveaways!
