Moby Stick

Nach 17 gemeinsamen Jahren auf der Bühne begeistern die sieben Musiker von Moby Stick mit unglaublicher Spielfreude.
Im Studio, sowie auf der Bühne liefern Moby Stick pure Energie, Feel Good Vibes und ein Fünkchen Ironie als Rezept für gute Laune.
Nach zahlreichen Auftritten mit Größen wie Lee Scratch Perry, Morgan Heritage, Steel Pulse oder Easy Star All Stars zeigt sich die Band experimentierfreudiger denn je und überrascht 2023 mit frischen Sound - pulsierender Roots Reggae gepaart mit dicken Live-Dubs, Hip Hop-, Afrobeat- und Soul-Grooves.
Das fünfte Studioalbum mit dem Titel „REARRANGE“ wird im Frühjahr 2024 das Licht der Welt erblicken und mit 15 starken, neuen Songs den Stil der Band durch Ausflüge in diverse Genres erweitern.
Im Hinblick darauf präsentiert Moby Stick im Sommer 2023 den TWISTED REALITY RIDDIM, eine Auskopplung in Form einer Riddim Compilation mit internationalen Artists!
Das Instrumental erinnert an die Zeit, in der Black Uhuru und Roots Radics mit ihren One-Drop Riddims die Ära des Dancehall durch Heavy Slow Beats einleiteten. Ein Riddim mit pulsierenden Heartbeat-Vibes, gemacht für große Soundsysteme.
Darauf vertreten sind Reggae Größen wie King Kong (JM) & Luciano (JM), sowie Solo Banton (UK) und Newcomer wie Supreme (JM) oder Ismar Rivero (CU).

Solo Banton burst onto the scene 2009 with the blistering hit called "Talk To Me" with Maffi and Jahtari. A veteran in the music business but a newcomer in terms of being a recording artist. Was this going to be a one hit wonder people asked? Solo answered with a series of music anthems which pleased crowds from every corner of Europe if not the world. "Want to Go Home" was his first release from his base camp Reality Shock, which was released alongside a Macka B version on the same 10" this showed Solo was able to stand side by side with established artists and not look out of place. Then came the smash "Walk Like Rasta" which raised him to new heights. The debut album of the same name was then released packed with track after track of the highest lyrical skills to match the great production. Had Solo reached his peak? The long awaited follow up single to "Talk To Me" was "NO" a blistering dancehall anthem which was destine to sell out faster then its predecessor. Coupled with the digital steppas style track "Dancehall Nice Again" from the same Maffi/Jahtari combination Solo Banton's foundation was set. Recording for many independent labels has shown that it's no accident. With various recordings and performances with the well established DUBKASM the trip toured the world with massive effect on the roots/dub scene, one of biggest for the trio is “MY MUSIC” a thunderous reggae asntherm with special guest vocalist BUGSY. Since then SOLO has recorded many floor fillers with the likes of MUNGO’s on SCOTCH BONNET RECORDS. "HIGHER LEVELS" was the 2nd album which has truly reached a higher level, included tracks like ‘ME NO KNOW’ and ‘MAKE YOU GROOVE’ also a combination with the great MICHAEL PROPHET. The album was nominated for best UK reggae album in the French reggae awards. Live performances have gone from strength to strength, with Solo's very light hearted style, his message comes across very well and is easy to understand. Showing the full range of his talents Solo now host the LIION’S DEN stage at BOOMTOWN FAIR which can boast the biggest reggae line up in any UK festival. Within minutes he has the crowd exactly where he wants them then slams down track after track! The Future? Now, with the re-launch of his own sound system "Classic Wonder  Veterans" Solo seems determine to stay on a path true to his believes and ideology. After the release of his 3rd album we can expect that the last 10 or so years have been just the beginning.

Classic wonder was formed in the early 1990s in Reading UK. Designed to be a dancehall and clash sound they would play with many of the dancehall greats like David Rodigan, Love Injection, Saxon, Stone Love, Kilimanjaro, Bass Odyssey etc. With an array of spectacular dubplates it's hard to find an artist who Classic Wonder have not had in the studio. Around 2015 they divided into two entitys, Solo handed the dancehall side to Jay Dee who renamed it Classic Wonder Entertainments, where as Solo now plays the rub-a-dub side with live artist called Classic Wonder Veterans. Both sides play regularly and keep to the high standard set from the founding CW crew all those years ago.
