Runcome Sound is back! Featuring MC Papa Aya, the Soweto Lion, original roots & culture DJ and reggae ambassador, blessed with a voice as sweet as Gregory, but switching to ruffneck just as easily :) Aya will be joined by mad scientist and dub producer Tony Dubshot (a.k.a. Anton Banton) on selector duties and random noise making.
Here's some oldskool footage of an all night session in Bar & Boos in Leiden.
Papa Aya hotting up the vibe on a Mad Professor/Lee Perry tune
Judging from this Mr Vegas tune it must have been around 2003. Vegey was always one of the favorites, still is.
No Runcome session without a Frankie Paul tune and crucial oldskool ingredients like Toots and the Maytals, Delroy Wilson, Bob Marley
But these clips are from a long time ago. The new Runcome Sound is gonna be a very different thing. Not really dancehall, not really roots, not really dubstep but more like a one deck dub session, playing strictly Dubbhism productions, forward thinking and forward moving homegrown dub sounds, hosted by Aya and peppered with live fx.
Were kicking off in Leiden courtesy of the Keytown crew, playing at the LVC upstairs (zoldercafe) at the Glue Factory parties on

By the way the Bar & Boos is no more, it had to close down a few months ago after almost 20 years of good vibes (think real estate & local politrixters).
