Who you repppin for?
Dirty Canvas is just a few days off now (this Friday night kids) and the last week or so has proved a bit of a pain in trying to pull it all together. First of all I seemed to lose all contact with Essentials, phones & emails weren't being picked up...then when we did meet up there seemed to be some kind of growing reluctance from them to the night, which was a change from their earlier enthusiasm and for reasons I couldn't really put my finger on.
Then it all becomes clear - you have a crew of 8 or 9 which has been on the road for over 4 years, things perhaps things aren't altogether rosy between members - the cohesiveness, which characterises the Essentials (in performance/on DVDs) isn't perhaps there any more. Anyway, to cut a long story short, we won't be seeing the whole Essentials crew on Friday because.... maybe there isn't a whole crew anymore. What I do know is that Jendor, Nu Era and Davinchie are still working together and they'll be the ones who'll take to the stage on Friday (either as Essentials or not). The likes of Remerdee, Bossman and 2 face are all 'working on solo stuff'.
Last week was therefore about plugging the void ...promising the Essentials and only giving up a couple of members would surely leave me with bare showerfaces. I'm pretty sure, with the help of a new recruit to the DC team (Pete aka DJ Magic - that's two of us now) I've managed to come up trumps. Logan Sama (who owes me one) will be spinning some vocal tunes on decks and Purple and the Renegade Boys will also be playing. There will also be an open mic session (trying to overcome that kinda wierdness pre-performance last time), where people have to register early to get a slot on a first come first served basis (which seems to be attracting alot of interest at the myspace site).
Remember to get down early because its a 7.30-11.30 gig and afterwards there's the choice of Heatwave's reggaeton night over the road in the Rythmn Factory (with a special PA by the Dcotor from South Agents) or Straight Outta Bethnal over at the 333.
