LOST ROOTS blend folk, roots and dub to create their signature high-vibe West Coast sound. Lilting folk melodies meet deep bass lines and warm dub-laced grooves, creating a powerful sound with a unique reggae twist! These guys were a real hit at last years Reggae Weekender and played a blinder as opening act on the Saturday to really get the place warmed up. They are touring in support of their new album and deserve the chance to shine as headliners at The Lost ARC.
DUBBIN' is a long-running mid Wales’ reggae night with its roots in Llanidloes. DJs Earthdoctor and Sir Lord Crasher share their deep love for the music and that authentic vinyl sound wherever they pitch up.
Les ‘Earthdoctor’ first got into reggae – both British and Jamaican artists – in the late 70s and has been in love with it ever since. First catching his attention were Aswad, Steel Pulse, Culture and Bob Marley & The Wailers, soon followed by the discovery of a whole host of Jamaican artists – who had too easily been missed living in rural Wales! DJing since the early 80s, he has promoted regular reggae/dub nights as part of Dragon Collective and was also resident DJ for several years at the weekly ‘Blues & Roots’ nights at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. In the late 90s / early 00s he worked with live dub act Zion Train, both as a regular support DJ at their gigs, and doing the promo work for their record labels. On this night, expect some uplifting roots, digidub and plenty of steppers!
Sir Lord Crasher began DJing ska and reggae in Bristol in the 90s, and hooked up with legendary ska band Smoke Like a Fish on moving to Mid Wales in the early 2000s. On putting together a small but chunky sound system he went on to form Authentic Dance Nights and collaborate with Stack 4 Sound Systems on Vinyl Vibe … at the time the UK’s only all-vinyl DJ festival. Now mainly playing Roots and Harmony style with conscious messages of peace, love and unity at local events and festivals, including Shambala and Cliff Top Reggae Party.
