IN ROOM 2: DO 4 LOVE TIMES: 9PM UNTIL 2AM ADVANCE: ADV £7.50 ON THE DOOR: £9 B4 11PM / £10 AFTER ------------------------------- The sound of Hackney is changing. DJS THIS TIME: ROY MEDALLION THE LOVERS ROCK KING Roy Medallion is the leading Lovers Rock DJ in the country. Born in Hackney, he started DJing at friends parties and soon began playing at nightclubs. He has held residencies playing reggae, soul and lovers rock at array of clubs, including Lambard, Pier One, Night Moves, Dougies, Shenola’s and Mingles. All of these Hackney clubs have since been shut down. By the 1980’s he was known as the go to DJ for Lovers Rock. He started playing on pirate radio stations Radio RJR, Supreme, Station FM all of which culminated in 1997 with a special KISS FM show, where they profiled Roy Medallion as a leading club DJ. In 2011, he was rewarded for over 30 years of service to Reggae music with a HiCrEc (Hidden Creative Economy) Award and was publicly voted as the UK’s Best Community DJ. You can listen to Roy Medallion on Concious Radio on his Sunday night show. SAMMY DE NIRO Sammy De Niro was raised in Hackney, as a teenager he began attending parties with a friend who ran a sound system called V Rocket. Keen to get involved Sammy built his own, naming it the Sebastion Soundsystem, and soon became known for his collection of reggae and soul. Sammy’s sound was in demand amongst the blues dances of Hackney, these were open parties, found in basements of houses in the area. In 1982 the pirate radio station London Weekend Radio was raided by the police, Sammy’s friend was the solicitor who managed to return all the seized equipment back to the station, instead of paying legal fees the radio agreed to hire Sammy as a resident radio DJ, launching his career on the radio. This notoriety led to a residency at Mingles nightclub, which continued for over 20 years. Sammy is known for producing a number of reggae songs from the 80s, and continues to produce today. Sammy can still be found DJing and running his soundsystem. BEVERLEY SINCLAIR Beverley Sinclair has worked at Eldica for over five years. When she first came to Eldica she said “that it looked, smelled and sounded like Don Christie’s - a record shop I spent all my time at as a teenager in Birmingham”. Beverley moved to London as a young woman and has raised her family here, she is known for her keen taste in vintage items and can frequently be found rummaging through collectors markets, charity shops and car boots for unique finds. Beverley is a first time DJ, hoping to surprise her children and share some of her favourite songs from her years in London. Beverley has plans to set up a vintage shop soon to share her tastes with everyone. ELDICA RECORDS A cornerstone of the community, 18 years ago Eldica Records opened on Bradbury Street by Annie Joachim Joseph and her husband Andy Westbury. Andy - once a member of 90’s hip-hop rave outfit 2-Mad - handpicks the records. Annie’s grandmother Eldica Joachim (the shops namesake) was an influential name amongst the West Indian expatriates and music scene of 1950s London. An Aladdin’s cave of familiar sounds you’ve never heard before, Eldica provides vinyl selections of sounds from around the world to the DJ’s and collectors of Hackney. As the area has transformed around it, Eldica has resisted, standing strong through plans to demolish Bradbury Street to aid Crossrail in 2016.
