  • 16.11.2018 – Dangerous Dynamite


    dangerous dynamite nov 18The Old Fashioned Rudeboys & Big B invited two excellent local selectors for their Dangerous Dynamite Party in a basement of Berlin Friedrichshain. BossK will barely fit under the low ceiling but for sure play some great tunes as you know from his monthly do, the ReggaeXplosion. Eastwood is rarely seen behind the decks these days and although he is lately more know as a seller of jamaican oldies on original vinyl, but he still owns an impressive collection and will draw some hot stuff.

  • 20.10.2018 – Dennis Alcapone & Mad Professor


    The HKW is known for spicing up their program with some jamaican artists from time to time. For the current project 100 years of Copyright they will bring Dennis Alcapone and Mad Professor, sounds like an interesting combination to us. The day before Sister Nancy will be there too, if you missed her great show at Badehaus earlier this year you have another chance on the 19th.

  • 19.10.2018 – Special Guest Scratch Famous at the Vintage Night


    2,5 years ago Jeremy aka. Scratch Famous was our guest for the Rock Steady Ballroom and played some great original tunes from the 60s. He’ll bring a slightly different bag with more 80s Reggae and Rub-a-dub for the Vintage Night and we’re sure it will be a great dance. Panza and Barney Millah will join him on the decks.

    It has been a thrilling night at YAAM on the 7th of September. On very short notice the lineup changed due to reasons beyond everyones control, Tiny T was replaced by Team Right on Time (Alex Fireball & Thee Snufferer) who ran against Mr. Mass and Thomas Eiene (Get Ready, 60’s Reggae Club, Oslo). The evening started with a very nice warmup by Rudewoi and as usual in Berlin, the place filled up quite late. (more…)

    The Midnight Hour - Trojan Records 50th Anniversary dance

    As Prague is easy to reach from Berlin by train or bus we’d like to suggest a trip to the beautiful czech capital in September. The Forward March Posse is running a proper soundsystem there and is organizing a second edition of ‘The Midnight Hour’, a rocksteady ball as we know and love it from our own dances. They invited our Rhythm Ruler for this one and will celebrate the 50th aniversary of Trojan Records in fine style.

  • 30.8.2018 – Sweet Sensation

    We just heard the news that the Sweet Sensation is not gonna be continued after the special event for Reggae! Steady! Soul! in december. It looks like Berlin is a bit oversaturated with events for vintage jamaican music and the loyal supporters of DIY events where people do more than just plug & play are getting less and less. Pass by to support the crew this week and every last thursday of the month until december to give the guys a warm farewell after 14 years of dedication. Original records will be played by Rudewoi, Smart Soul, The Rhythm Ruler and special guest Boss Bread (Old Fashioned Rudeboys) this week.
