New - UK DUBPLATE SERVICE

Friendly Fire is proud to announce a new venture - the UK Dubplate Service

Born out of the observation that although there is a multitude of Jamaican dubplate links, there seems to be none for the artists of the growing UK scene, this new service will allow Sound Systems to order easily dubplates and specials from the UKs leading artists, whether it be Dancehall, Roots, or Lovers.

The dubs will be delivered either via internet or post, and we can arrange cuts onto vinyl if necessary.

To kick off in style, we are proud to announce that the first DUBPLATE SESSION will be with the legendary DADDY FREDDY, who broke the guiness record of the fastest chatter 4 times. He is also the founder of raggamuffin Hip-Hop, and a wicked entertainer.

This will take place on Monday 7th April 2008, so get your orders in quick!

To order contact : robin@friendlyfiremusic.com

Chunky Riddim - Riddim of the Week on ReggaeFrance.com

The new Chunky Riddim has reached Europe and was elected "Riddim of the Week" on the Reggae France website in France, on wednesday 12/03/08!

Check the review HERE

In the meantime, we are working hard towards the next releases - Tha Usual Suspec's EP is near completion, and the new "Step Forward Riddim" is on it's way, and will be posted soon in the riddims section. Stay tuned.

Wednesday 09 January 08

NEW RELEASE: CHUNKY 12"

We are proud to announce that the Chunky 12" is now available from good record shops, or from direct from here

This is the first official release on the Friendly Fire Label (FFM001), and comprises of 3 vocal cuts and a version of the chunky riddim. This is an "urban" reggae-dancehall instrumental with a distinctive UK sound - a grimey bassline, and a compulsively nodabble beat, blessed with the conscious voices of Ras Tweed, Tha Usual Suspec Paradox, and Pablo Rider who all bring their own touch.

Ras Tweed reminds us to be humble with his sing jay style on "I Am", Pablo gives a message of hope and perseverance in "Jah Will Provide" in his anecdotal DJ style, and finally Tha Usual Suspec raps about rip-off producers in the business.

Friendly Fire band at The Bullring

Friendly Fire played a great set for Birmingham's Bullring shoppers, at Gigbeth 2007 on the Ecorhythm stage bus, which was parked right outside St Martin's church. This was a rare chance for random people to be exposed to roots , and hopefully the Fire will burn hotter in their hearts for it.

Pablo Rider and Tha Usual Suspec performed an inspiring set, with songs like False Images criticising consumerism in its own home, in front of what claims to be one of the biggest shopping centre in Europe, and Pablo's Miss di Bus which went down a treat. 

Finally the gig ended up being extremely well attended, with nuff crowd participation, including Jamani, Tha Usual Suspec's nephew, who came on stage and buss some backing vocals, and some breakdancers who pulled some impromptu b-boy moves in front of the stage to the reggae grooves.

After an hour and a half and three encores, the promoter finally let the band come off the stage and the area in front of the Bullring cleared up - the ground was still smoking.
