***Live and Direct from Kingston, Jamaica, DVRS is proud to present the legendary Ranking Joe for our official Level the Vibes launch party. A massively influential foundation DeeJay, Ranking Joe started out toasting on the competitive Kingston sound systems in the early 70s and made his recording debut on the seminal Studio One label as “Little Joe”. By the late 70s he had a number of hits under his belt and had pioneered a new style of deejaying that pointed the way to the rubadub and dancehall styles of the 80s. More lyrical and full of vocal acrobatics, Ranking Joe’s style lit up the dancehalls from JA to the U.K., and he has stayed current through the years, recently voicing drum’n’bass tracks for top jungle producers around the world. Don't miss him at the Black Box, backed by Capital Hill Hi-Fi and their deep box of original Jamaican vinyl delights. -- Coming to the Black Box in 2020, Denver Vintage Reggae Society presents “Level the Vibes”, a monthly party celebrating the golden era of early dancehall and reggae, from rubadub to ragga and everything in between. “Level the Vibes” will be a strictly sound system style party, with two turntables, a microphone and a whole heap of crowd participation. Each month will feature residents Wes and Adam of DVRS alongside local legend Spellbinder performing as Capital Hill Hi-Fi, and national and international special guests TBA -- DOOR: FREE w/ Text (Text "BLACKBOX" to 91944) $5 w/ no Text -- www.blackboxdenver.co
