This Autumn the Red Bull Music Academy lands in Tokyo, bringing Asia’s hub of all things cool a taste of the music know-how, the jaw dropping events, world class artists, producers, DJs and showcases we were treated to in London last year! To warm things up the academy are taking to cities across the globe with one-off Sessions featuring world-renowned producers and DJs. Tomorrow the Red Bull studios in London Bridge welcome the mighty reggae selector David Rodigan and two of the most exicting underground dance production outfits in the UK, Zinc (pictured here) and Toddla T! They’ll be lecturing on their individual production techniques, styles and scenes, answering questions and Rodigan will even be recording a special mix live in the studio! Not half bad for a Tuesday evening! Head over to RBMA for all the deets. Don’t forget you can catch Zinc behind the decks for Urban Nerds at XOYO on Saturday 26th March.

RBMA Session | 16:00-19:00 Tuesday 15th March  | Red Bull Studios, 151-177 Tooley Street, London

Rodigan will be playing a very special Xmas set, dropping bombs from his unrivaled collection of classic dubplates for the ultimate pre-xmas skank out! With support from Nerds squad Rattus, Klose, Ordio Kid, Drama, Dusty Lungs & Daddy Nature, there’s also plenty of usual bangers from the team who’ll be dropping the best dubstep, electro, garage, grime and UK bass sounds of 2010!

To top it all off, the first 200 people through the door will receive a complementary drink courtesy of the good people at Eristoff – the vodka from The Land of the Wolf! With a closely guarded secret recipe hailing from the wild and untamed landscape of Georgia, Eristoff is triple-distilled and charcoal-filtered for absolute purity. Then there’s the unique wild berry flavoured, Eristoff Black. ‘We do not like to mix’ (get yourself down to the Xmas party and all will be revealed)!

It features UK reggae and dancehall legend David Rodigan going head-to-head with King Addies hailing from Brooklyn, NYC. For over 30, yes THIRTY years, Rodigan has been one of if not THE go to guy for reggae, dub and dancehall vibes, not only in the UK, not just throughout Europe but the world over. With his legendary Kiss 100 show, countless dubplates and many soundclash titles, let alone his recent landing on the UK’s dance circuit with enormous sets at dubstep dances up and down the country, topped off with his recent Fabriclive CD, Rodigan really is jaw-droopingly sick and a living musical legend!

You can check him at his best, on top soundclash form using the player below or by hitting up the RBMA site. Make sure you come and join us at The Macbeth on Thursday 23rd December for the Xmas party with Snowbombing, where Rodigan will be playing a very special set in the intimate surroundings of our favourite East End pub.
