The Heatwave Newsletter | November 2007
www.theheatwave.co.uk

Unfortunately, this month we heard that The Pool is about to be sold and will close for refurbishment, leaving our monthly bashment event homeless for the time being - so there'll be no Heatwave Affair next Friday (16th November). However, we're currently speaking to a few new venues and the monthly nights look set to start up again in January 2008. Plus we'll be doing a one-off Christmas party in December at a venue to be announced...


In the meantime, check out the photos and live recording of Riko Dan's set in October, at what turned out to be the last ever Heatwave at The Pool. There's also a new gallery of pictures from the booty battle at last week's Bounce event at Bar Rumba
- and you can now see photos from Heatwave events on our Facebook page. And check out our brand new 12" release (details below), which is already getting love from the likes of DJ /Rupture, Fat City, J Star and Toddla T.

October 2007 | 70 mins | Listen here
Riko's third appearance alongside The Heatwave since 2005, this time in The Pool's intimate basement at our last ever event there before the venue was sold. The Roll Deep MC was as electric as ever on the mic, riding bashment riddims like Applause, Good To Go and Gang War alongside grimey instrumentals including Wiley's sparse Igloo Bass Mix of his hit Wot Do U Call It [read more]
