Dopo l'eccezionale evento dello scorso maggio con Dj Hype ed MC Daddy
Earl, un'altra nottata unica renderà entusiasmante il rientro dalle
vacanze a Roma! Sabato 22 Settembre Romastyle presenta un nuovo
e immancabile appuntamento con la migliore drum'n'bass internazionale:
alla Tenda Spazio Boario c/o Villaggio Globale, sul palco del locale di
Testaccio, salirà niente meno che Dj Aphrodite “The King Of The Beat” uno dei più importanti e talentuosi producers anglosassoni, accompagnato dai dj resident Andypop, Ale G, Boka, dalle potenti rime di Mc Junior Red e dai visuals di More*Tv*V.
Romastyle vi emozionerà ancora una volta con le incredibili basslines
di Aphrodite e la sua personalissima collezione di dubplates e perle
rare, vero e proprio tesoro della Urban Takeover,
etichetta creata insieme a Mickey Finn prima della nascita della
Aphrodite Recordings. Aphrodite è uno dei migliori produttori di jump
up, pochi possono tenergli testa. Quando durante i suoi dj set non
riuscite a resistere al richiamo della pista allora vuol dire che
Aphrodite ha messo mano ai suoi dischi jump up preferiti!
Sabato 22 Settembre l'evento di Roma è Dj Aphrodite & Mc Junior Red

BIOGRAFIA
Aphrodite's Gavin King is one of the reigning, well, kings of jump-up
style jungle, a sparse, high-energy offshoot of drum'n'bass designed
for maximum dancefloor impact. With tracks propelled by simple, rolling
drum loops, huge, warbling basslines, and loads of chopped-up hip-hop
and ragga samples, King's releases as Aphrodite, Alladin, and Amazon II
(a side project with producer Tony B.) began ruling dance floors in '95
after top DJs such as Hype and Zinc began playing the socks off them.
Although many of Aphrodite's earlier tracks were deep in a ragga style,
his late-1995 and 1996 releases began bridging the gap between ragga's
gimmicky, sample-heavy refrains and jump-up's more spry stepping. His
discography is cluttered with chart-topping jump-up tracks, including
"King of the Beats," "Woman That Rolls," "Mash Up Your," and "Dub
Moods." Releasing most of his tracks on his own Aphrodite Recordings
label, King also hooked up with DJ/producer Mickey Finn in 1996 to
record a number of tracks (including "Bad Ass" and "Big Time") for
release on the joint-established imprint Urban Takeover. He's also
rumored to be the man behind any number of white label-only bootleg
jungle versions, including mixes of "Mission: Impossible," "No
Diggity," and the Luniz' "I Got Five on It," in addition to legitimate
remix work for such artists as Dub War and Nine Inch Nails. The 1997 CD
compilation Aphrodite Recordings is the best, most comprehensive
introduction to his work, while his self-titled 1999 American debut
collected old tracks and a few new remixes. King has also appeared at
the helm of several mix albums, including Full Force and 1998's
Takeover Bid: Round One. The latter of the albums was reissued in
2001as part of the Mixer "Rewind" series. In 2002, the first album in
his distribution deal with V2 Records was released, Aftershock.
