Candi Staton

Candi Staton

A legendary soul and disco singer whose massive seventies hits include 'Nights On Broadway' and 'Young Hearts Run Free'.

Dreadzone

Dreadzone

One of the country's top reggae and dub acts, founded in 1993 by Greg Roberts and Tim Bran. Their debut album 360° set the stage for the follow up, Second Light, to be cited as a favourite of John Peel's and saw them play at Glastonbury just one year after their formation. Continuing to record and release new music, Dreadzone for many years hosted Dubweiser at Notting Hill Arts Club, and subsequently released Once Upon A Time in 2005. Their continued popularity remains a testament to their presence in British music.

Normski

Normski

Former presenter of Dance Energy on BBC 2's Def II from the late 80s and also instrumental as one of the Ministry Of Sound club's fashion police. Normski also documented the rise of hip-hop culture as a professional photographer on the first visits of all the early US hip hop stars to the UK. Larger than life and well known to anyone who ever watched Dance Energy on BBC2's Def II as a kid or caught his act as a snow-boarding pundit more recently, Normski is quite a character. With 20 years experience in dance music and clubs, he's got a killer record collection to match.
