Isssue number 2 of the No Ice Cream Sound fanzine is about to drop on August 22nd. It features:
Exclusive interviews with Sizzla, Ward 21, Solo Banton and Carolyn Cooper. A feature on Japanese Dancehall. Illustrations from GABE (SEEN), Smutlee (YoYo) and Karen Cazabon (HDD). An exclusive chart from Al Fingers. Gabriel Heatwave’s review of Showtime! and more … 50 pages of hand-printed bashment madness.
On the flyer for the show, one of the 14 (!) artists on the bill, Wiley, promised
Showtime is gonna be when we do what Shabba and Yellowman and Ninja did back in the day. Kids are gonna watch it in a hundred years and think »I wish I was there.«
Now that the first installment of The Heatwave‘s »Showtime« went down, it looks like Eskiboy didn’t promise too much. The web is full of raving reviews:
Showtime’s debut was as huge as it said it would be. [...] Showtime gets a musicovered score of 10/10.

Dancehall is alive and kicking and it’s dwelling in East London!!!!! [...] This is the type of event that needs to be witnessed to be believed. [...] Thank you Heatwave for turning back the clocks for me – I feel all 18-ish!!!!
– via Prezedent
It really was one of those once in a lifetime occasions. [...] Legends past and present with hot upcoming artists = Murderer.
– via Marvin Sparks
I wish I was there and I can’t wait for that video to drop, so I can watch it for the next hundred years.
Huge respect to Gabriel and his crew! Looking forward to link up again at this year’s Notting Hill Carnival the latest.
Wiley, General Levy, Glamma Kid, Skibadee and another 10 huge UK artists on the same stage together, riding classic dancehall and brand new bashment riddims
Next weekend, on Saturday May 14th, Keep It Real Jam will go down in Königseggwald (near Ravensburg), Germany. With e.g. Gappy Ranks, Top Cat and Sentinel Sound on the bill, this will definitely become a night to remember.
SEEN supports Keep it Real Jam providing shirts for the whole staff. Visitors will be able to win SEEN shirts at the venue.
While some things will never change – e.g. that in 2-0-11, too, BTYCL remains Munich’s number one future bass party, resident DJ Tim Turbo rebaptized himself and now goes by the name of Trrbo.
For the first BTCYL session of the new year – which will go down on Friday, January 21st at the Crux in Munich – he invited Tommy Montana to assist him behind the wheels.
We give away to 2 x 2 guest list spots among those who know which Bayern Munich player started off the current Bundesliga season with a BTYCL visit after scoring the winning goal in the first game against Wolfsburg.
