On Wednesday 9 December, Dub Me Always is pleased to welcome to return of Lloyd ‘Musclehead’ Francis of the legendary Saxon sound system, playing alongside the esteemed RS Digital, joining regular host DJ David Katz for a night of original reggae roots and foundation dancehall vinyl, plus exclusive one-off dub plates. Formed in Lewisham in 1976, Saxon was the first British sound system to beat Jamaican sounds on their home turf and to feature at Reggae Sunsplash in Jamaica; they have reigned supreme from the 1980s and in the new millennium rocked festival stages internationally, including City Splash, Reggae Geel and Rototom Sunsplash, among many others. A natural-born selector with an incredible record collection and consummate skill on the decks, these days Musclehead fronts a much-loved Thursday vinyl session at the Golden Anchor and remains in-demand on the revival circuit. You are guaranteed to hear something special with Musclehead at the helm!
RS Digital has a long and varied involvement in reggae. Many know him as the master mixer and technician who works closely with David Rodigan on stage and during sound clashes, and through his appearances on BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcasts, such as David Rodigan, Deep & Heavy with RS Digital. Ronnis is renowned for his deep knowledge of reggae in all its forms and for his treasure trove of exclusive dub plates, as well as unknown remixes of rock steady, reggae and dancehall greats. A regular at Musclehead’s Vinyl Meltdown night at the Golden Anchor, he frequently plays sessions with sound systems around town and across the country, including at General Echo’s Reggae Disco and one-offs at the Fox and Firkin. With RS on the decks, you are also guaranteed to hear something different!
Expect hard-hitting reggae floor fillers, vintage rock steady rarities, foundation dancehall thrillers and original dub plates, delivered with passion and zest, and be warned: last time Muscle played, the venue was beyond capacity, so come early to avoid disappointment!
