Mad Mats’ now legendary Raw Fusion club (and record label) have provided its devoted audience in Stockholm with the best underground rhythms since 1996. Essentially, it’s not about a particular style of music but an overall feeling! With a sublime blend of top international DJ’s and new up and coming talents, the club night has hosted more than 150 guest DJ’s and bands such as Carl Craig, Jay Dee aka J Dilla, Gilles Peterson, Peanut Butter Wolf, Theo Parrish, Jazzanova, Peter Kruder, Kyoto Jazz Massive, The Roots, Gil Scott Heron, Bugz In The Attic, Roni Size, Waajeed, Louie Vega, Spacek etc etc.
And three years in a row, the WMC/Miami parties these guys are held responsible for have been magical, and much talked about. Yes, the Swedes know how to throw a good party which they’ve proven twice before when they were hosts at Cargo. Last time around the club was packed, so to avoid disappointment, get down there early…
The London touch down at Cargo on May 23rd includes resident DJ’s Mad Mats and Simbad with homeboy Yungun aka Essa on the mic, and all the way from Detroit USA - John Arnold and Jeremy Ellis aka Ayro with a blinding LIVE set. This is promised to be something rather spectacular. Their performance at Co-op’s WMC party was one of the best moments of the whole week.
