Preview of The Heatwave Affair in Metro
The Heatwave bring the latest sounds from Jamaica to Puerto Rico (via London and Bristol) to Islington's Salmon & Compass tomorrow with monthly residency The Heatwave Affair. Heatwave's Gabriel, Master G and Henry are expert selectors of sweaty and life-affirming dancehall, reggaeton, UK ragga, soca, bashment and grime, while resident MC Rubi Dan will ensure the dancefloor keeps bubbling.
Their expertise has resulted in The Heatwave compiling the An England Story double album (out on Monday on Soul Jazz Records), highlighting MC culture's evolution in Britain through reggae, rave, jungle, rap, dancehall and grime. Their revamped website theheatwave.co.uk - brimming with news, blogs and fab free downloads - is well worth a visit.
