DADDY G (MASSIVE ATTACK)
DJ ANDY SMITH (EX PORTISHEAD)
SATURDAY 21st DECEMBER
THE ARCH // BRIGHTON
Doors 11.00pm - 03.00am
DADDY G (Massive Attack) You may consider Grant Marshall, a.k.a. Daddy G as spiritus rector of what has historically become known as the "Bristol Sound". It's that laid back sound that breathes dub, reggae, funk, disco and hip hop, represented by protagonists like Massive Attack, Smith & Mighty, Tricky and Portishead. A sound that left its global traces for more than one and a half decades. And Daddy G is its spiritus rector because he was one of the founders of the Wild Bunch Sound System, out of which later Massive Attack emerged. Besides Mushroom and 3-D, Daddy G was both one of the core members of the group as well as one of the group's main voices.
Way before being part of a band though, Daddy G was known as a DJ. As a ten year old he already recorded mix tapes, inspired by the DJ boyfriend of his older sister. 1980 he was one of the youngest Bristol DJs, quickly establishing his name as a synonym for an eclectic music style. At the parties at which G played, one could always hear the newest in disco, fresh punk funk from NY, the first rap imports as well as soul and dub reggae. When the Wild Bunch Sound System was founded, Daddy G already was a local celebrity. His DJ sets were not only legendary because of their selection and his mixing skills, but because he rocked the microphone as versatile as the wheels of steel.
There are DJs, that get their kicks from playing out obscure white labels that no one knows. And then there are DJs who simply enjoy playing their favourite records. Daddy G belongs to the latter.
Plus special guest DJ ANDY SMITH (Portishead) Portishead's DJ Andy Smith first met group front man Geoff Barrow while the two were at school; he eventually joined Barrow's touring band. He has also appeared with the Fugees, Republica, and Prophets of the City, and released his debut mix album, The Document, in early 1998. A follow-up was five years in coming, but The Document II proved just as varied and exciting as the first.... Expect an eclectic mix.
