The Heatwave




I've long been a fan of The Heatwave: these guys have been pushing the global ghetto sound that is currently so fashionable (MIA, Diplo, Radioclit, Switch, Sinden) for over FOUR years. Respect. Expect soca, bashment/dancehall, reggae, bhangra, garage, R'n'B/hip hop. There was a time when they were getting grime and hip hop MCs down to spit over the riddims, including Yungun. This night is a relaunch and it looks like The Heatwave crew's going to be busy for the remainder of 007 and into 008, with single releases and a compilation for Soul Jazz. Thanks to Gabriel Heatwave for the info.
