Big Chill Presents NICE UP! 10th Birthday

Celebrating 10 years of throwing parties, the NICE UP! crew roll back through the Big Chill House for possibly one of their biggest parties to date! Having sold out the New Years Eve party, they're rolling deep with the following line up to help celebrate a decade of rocking dancefloors

General Levy
Rodney P
Aries
Mr Benn
Jstar
Turntable Dubbers
Shepdog

plus upstairs
Extra Classic with Al Fingers, Disorda & Seanie T

Since their humble beginnings at 93 Feet East in Brick Lane in 2003, NICE UP! has grown to encompass a record label, clothing line, publishing company and has travelled the globe pushing its "righteous party vibes" at clubs and festivals. Synonymous with dancefloor destruction, the night encompasses all forms of reggae infused music from hip hop, dancehall and bashment to jungle, dubstep and drum & bass.

Joining them on their 10th Birthday is a stellar line up of talent - kicking off with the legendary GENERAL LEVY. Having smashed the Big Chill House on New Years Eve, we thought it only right to get him back to do it again - there were plenty of people left outside that night! Performing all of his hits from "Champagne Body", "Heat" and "The Wig" plus the massive "Incredible", he's sure to take the roof off once again! Performing alongside him is the "godfather of UK hip hop" RODNEY P who once again has shelled down many a NICE UP! event in the past, he'll be performing tracks such as "Riddim Killa", "Big Tings We Inna" "Murderer Style" and of course "The Nice Up" which has obviously become something of an anthem!

Making big waves in the jungle scene at the moment, ARIES is making his debut at NICE UP!, although his tunes have been making an impact for some time! Known best for his work with David Boomah and Lion Fire, not to mention his massive remix of Bob Marley's "Sun Is Shining". NICE UP! label's very own MR BENN is making a visit from Bristol having recently signed to the label and dropped his single "Rising Star" with Serocee. His album is planned for later in the year and includes collaborations with dancehall heavyweights Tenor Fly, Top Cat, Ragga Twins and many more. A member of the NICE UP! family from day one, JSTAR also makes a rare appearance since moving to Berlin and travelling the world with the MAJOR LAZER show. Known for his genre-busting sets and popular mash-ups, we're happy to finally having him behind the decks for a night!

Also making the visit to help us blow the candles out are Belgium's TURNTABLE DUBBERS - fresh from remixing Dub Pistols & Tippa Irie plus their recent massive tune "I Like Your Style" featuring Top Cat. Rounding off the line up for the main room is SHEPDOG - resident DJ from day one and a dab hand at rocking any dancefloor with his renowned mashups and remixes of artists such as Nas, Damien Marley, Gorillaz and The Gossip to name but a few! He's also celebrating his
own birthday this weekend so be sure to buy him a drink if you see him!

Upstairs we have one of London's finest roots reggae and dancehall crews - Extra Classic. Featuring selectors AL FINGERS (Greensleeves Records, Clarks In Jamaica) and DISORDA (Suspect Packages) plus SEANIE T (Banana Klan) keeping the mic nice, the vibes will be high in the
second room for sure!

Entry is FREE before 10pm and £5 after

FREE ENTRY!

UNPLUG THE JUKEBOX (UTJ) is a brand-new, super-fresh session at Hoxton's Horse & Groom hosted by vinyl-obsessives DISORDA (Suspect Packages) & MISTAH BROWN (Tighten Up!) where selectors dig a little deeper than usual to unearth a classic playlist with a difference:

There'll be plenty of tunes we all know and love, but UTJ is all about rediscovering and sharing those lesser known vinyl treasures that rarely even make it into a working DJs box let alone onto a club turntable! Don't get us wrong - there's always a place for the blatant party banger but UTJ is a chance for us to get together and celebrate the obscure, unjustly neglected killers that we rarely hear anywhere except our living rooms!

Special guest selector this month is UK Hip-Hop champion OLIVER SUDDEN (Vintage Fly Soundsystem/BBP Records/Starch Music) who'll be raiding his extensive vinyl library to bring you (and us!) everything from rock-solid Soul grooves to wonky Hip Hop bangers and beyond!

We can't wait! Can you? See ya there! Join us

EVOLUTION OF DUB presents PULL UP!

The tunes last time round were firing and all the new faces down there again kept the dancefloor pumping right until the end. Thank you to everyone who comes in the door.

TRASH & READY End Of Year Round Up!!!

Saturday December 1st TRASH & READY hosts another non-stop, all-action, 45 Face/Off at the place called Silver Bullet with very special guests...

RICKY RANKING: Many will be familiar with Ricky via his current collaboration with BANANA KLAN but that's only part of the story. He cut his teeth in the late 70’s performing on the legendary sound systems of KING TUBBY, KILLER WATT and DYNATONE before moving on to the mighty NASTY ROCKERS and TAURUS. Ricky is the genuine article - a proper UK Sound System legend who can rock a stadium or cork a dance same way and it's an honour to have him in the Trash & Ready family! Gonna be BIG!!!

EXTRA CLASSIC featuring SEANIE T: Seanie is one of the most versatile MCs in the business. His roots are in the early-mid 80s Reggae Sound System tradition that we celebrate at Trash & Ready but his style shows the influence of a broad spectrum of music: There's evidence of his exposure to the NY Hip-Hop scene during it's most vital era, as well as his foundation work on the UK Rap scene - to which he remains an inspiration and a cutting edge contributor. His 'Scribes of a Versatilian' album is just out and demonstrates that he remains one of our finest MCs - regardless of genre. The ever-excellent EXTRA CLASSIC DJs will be joining Seanie to drop some serious riddim action pon di place!!!

TIGHTEN UP CREW featuring CHAMPIAN: With a career spanning four decades, Champian remains one of the most respected MCs to emerge from the UK Sound System scene. At a time when you had to be phenomenal just to survive - Champian - the lyrical lynchpin of the mighty JAMDOWN ROCKERS SOUND SYSTEM was up there with the best of them - rubbing shoulders and matchings wits/words with the likes of PapaLevi, Tippa Irie, Asher Senator et al. We reckon he's as great today as he ever was back then. His secret? Musical Knowledge: There'll barely be a tune pressed between 1960 and 2012 that Champ doesn't know/hasn't owned at some point! The TUC will be putting the big man's memory to the test with a stack of killer vinyl! Expect him to get an A++! BIGNESS!!!

This is gonna be something special people! Expect a guaranteed rewind selection of Old-School-Dancehall, Rough 'N' Rugged Rub-A-Dub and Dangerous Digital Reggae Pressure all night long!

SATURDAY 1st DECEMBER
@ SILVER BULLET, 5 STATION PLACE, FINSBURY PARK, LONDON, N4
