Clubbing: Rizla Invisible Players

Thursday 21st May 2009

The Rizla Invisible Players tour is back on the road for its third year kicking off at Start The Bus in Bristol on Friday, May 29.

Jon Carter (Monkey Mafia, Junior Cartier) one of the 2009 Invisible Players, will headline the party with his unique blend of acid house and dancehall infused electronica.

DJ OneMan, the dynamo dubstep supreme who has played at seminal dubstep London nights Forward>> and DMZ, promises to get the place jumping with his trademark energetic set.

Playing live are Man Like Me, a hip-hop/electro trio who have supported Madness on several occasions and who are hotly tipped for big things, having attracted the likes of Hot Chip and Jack Penate to their recent single launch party.

Bullion, a young forward thinking hip hop producer, endorsed by Radio One’s Mary Anne Hobbs, will showcase his unique genre defying DJ style with a set that spans from dubstep to soul.

The headline party hosts, The Invisible Players, feature a new look line-up of creative icons: Jazzie B, Jon Carter, Micachu, Gruff Rhys and David Shrigley.

Each with a watertight reputation for creativity and expression through music, the 2009 collective promises to take the Rizla tour to a whole new level.

Jon Carter had this to say, “I can’t wait to kick off the first club night in Bristol on May 29. I’m really looking forward to Bestival as well, which, in my 15 years of experience is still one of the craziest parties. The tour has a nice mix of festivals and a great mix of creatives in this year’s Invisible Players. I’m looking forward to hearing what everyone plays and the vibe we can create.”

Playing from a unique musical van, a recreation of the original Rizla touring van of the 1920’s, The Invisible Players will play spontaneous and inspiring sets from a diverse record collection. There are no prepared setlists, just pure improvisation and the creation of a unique vibe in the Rizla Arena. The sound could vary from Dub, Electro, Dancehall, Funk, Hip Hop, Breakbeat to Northern Soul and Acid House – the roots of popular music as we know it.
