Goblin Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 The Autumn party season starts right here! The Pentown Weekender Part I Part I - 29th September - Doors at 7.30 - Late K.O.G Smiling Ivy Riddimtion ProVerb Arnivore Selekta Chestar Soulful Sally A whirlwind of collaboration is set for this September as Smiling Ivy and K.O.G join forces for a double EP launch. Both formidable forces in Sheffield’s ska and reggae scene, the acts decided to team up earlier this year to guarantee a launch party for the history books. K.O.G. K.O.G will be getting hips-shaking with the help of Riddimtion – a revered collective of pioneering reggae DJ’s - and will no doubt blow minds with his extravagant stage show and slick African stylings. Smiling Ivy Renowned for igniting audiences in a skanking frenzy, Smiling Ivy will be bringing some carnival-raucous to the table with their infectious mix of ska, funk, reggae, and rock. Pro Verb Pro Verb is the man tasked with getting the crowds all warmed up, though, and will certainly rise to the occasion. While still young, this lyrically-gifted street-poet is guaranteed to get the party started with feel-good hip-hop over laid back acoustic guitar. Arnivore Arnivore, of the Cool Beans collective, will also be in tow to get some top-class genre-terrorism over the airwaves. Like a musical seamstress, Arnivore will keep the bodies rocking until the early hours. The Riddimtion crew will also be lending a hand in this department, though. And with a reggae collection that spans roots, dancehall, ska, rocksteady, dub and bashment - they will also be making certain that the dance-floor remains hot and sweaty all night. However, it gets even better as Selekta Chestar will be spinning some smooth Jamaican beats and Soulful Sally will bring some funk, soul and Motown flavours to the occasion. But don't get all partied out just yet….Part II is just as impressive.
