With 2 hugely successful events already behind them it seemed
foolish to not organize Europe’s biggest clubbing event of the year at
Canvas before it closes it’s doors once and for all. With that in mind
BBE Records, The Doctor’s Orders & Bacardi B-Live have teamed up
again for BBE 11. Marking 11 years of the UK’s premier independent
label with their biggest line up to date representing the finest
international House, Hip-Hop, Soul & Disco DJs across 4 rooms a
capacity crowd is guaranteed at this not to be missed event.
BACARDI B-Live are once again on board and showing their full
support to the BBE and Doctor’s Orders crew. B-Live is synonymous
with outstanding parties, blending an exceptional mix of renowned
international DJs with some unique Bacardi Rum cocktails. With a
strong B-Live presence throughout this years event, BBE 11 see’s an
impressive line up of past and present B-Live DJs. As ever the line
up represents BBE’s philosophy of releasing real music for real
people. This time we have pulled out the big guns all of whom have
worked with BBE over the years and played a part in establishing it
as the MOBO award winning powerhouse of dance music that it is
today.
BBE and The Doctor’s Orders know how to throw a party and what it
takes to make London’s discerning crowd to have a good time. They
definitely have all the right ingredients here and are guaranteed a
packed floor in every room.
A genuine love of music and the desire to share that love to anyone
wise enough to hear that message is what has brought all the DJs,
Producers and BBE Records together and sees them join forces
tonight for the public’s pleasure.
Once again “The Kings of Hip-Hop†take up room one, with two of
America’s most respected and in demand producers manning the
decks alongside two of London’s favorite sons. We welcome the
master of the Boom Bap, DJ Premier for this rare London appearance
and his BBE & B-Live debut. Having made his name creating
phenomenal beats for Guru to rhyme over that made Gangstarr the
benchmark for any & every Hip-Hop duo he has gone on to work with
anyone and everyone in Hip-Hop & R&B from Biggie Smalls to
Eminem & Mary J Blige to Christine Aguilara. Also flying in from NYC
we have the man behind the legendary Cold Chillin label Marley Marl.
Having previously worked with the likes of LL Cool J and KRS One, to
bring some street flavour to the decks, he packs clubs in his native
America his appearances on these shores are super rare so be sure
not to miss it! Representing the UK are Spin Doctor & Mr Thing, both
truly gifted party rockers they will be showing that London can
definitely punch its weight.
Few lay claim to the title “The Kings of House†more than B-Live
regular Louie Vega. As one half of the legendary New York duo
Masters At Work he has been producing dance music of the highest
quality for over 20 years. This quality of output has seen him receive
Grammy Awards & perform at the Superbowl in 2006. Always an
impeccable DJ he will be working his magic over 4 turntables as he
provides another night to remember. He is joined by another favorite
of the Deep House scene, Osunlade. Coming out of self-enforced
retirement from Djing especially to play this event this may well
prove to be the last time you may here this man who lives his music
spin his music. BBE head honcho Pete Adarkwah will be on hand here
to keep the crowd stomping with his own distinct selection of tracks
new and old.
“The Kings of Soul†are represented from two UK legends and two of
the most renowned crate diggers from the US. While perhaps best
known for his Jazz Dance selections Gilles Peterson is equally
passionate and at ease playing Soul as he will show here. Jetting in
from Brooklyn are vinyl experts Kon & Amir set to make their debut
under the B-Live banner and no doubt dig some serious beats.
Their “Kings Of Digging†compilation showed an unparalleled ability to
unearth little known & seldom heard dance floor gold from
throughout the US and beyond. If that was not enough, B-Live
regular Phil Asher will be representing the UK crowd with his smooth
selections of 70’s & 80’s Soul & Boogie.
An addition to the line up this time around is the “Kings Of Disco†as
represented by the two men responsible for the fantastic compilation
of the same name. Dimitri from Paris & Joey Negro have been
spinning & remixing classic Disco for longer then they would care to
mention and combined undoubtedly have the world’s most extensive
knowledge and collection of the genre. Despite their similarities in
taste, experience and influence it is rare to have them man the same
set of decks so expect a fair amount of one up manship tonight as
these two heavyweights go head to head & back to back.
