Dubwise Station started over two years ago as a radio show and expanded into a label since January this year. Six releases later it was only a matter of time before we start putting on some events. After a successful taster in Paris at the end of August, Dubwise Station Live is now ready to hit the club scene with style. The first episode will be happening in Bristol at Basement 45.
The concept is simple, showcase the artists involved with the label but also a selection of heavyweight headliners and serious local talents.
Musicwise, heavy dose of Jungle/DnB and Reggae influenced bass music all night across 2 rooms.
Headlining for the occasion Serial Killaz will bring their usual selection, bass heavy all the way. Also, watch out for Blackout J.A. and Jamie Irie reunited for the first time since their numerous collaborations in Jamaica, you'll be able to see them in a live P.A. and supporting the DJs during their sets.
SERIAL KILLAZ (Congo Natty, Run Tingz, Sub Slayers, Streetlife)

Recently they've been working on fresh production, pushing their sound to new levels including their recent release'Duty Sounds' at 140bpm on Sub Slayers.
On the decks, there's never any disappointment here, expect dub after dub, packed with raw energy for the dancefloor.
