7. The Heatwave Presents Showtime DVD
This past June, our esteemed Cockney & Yardie columnist Gabriel Heatwave and his Heatwave crew assembled a a stageshow for the ages. Billed as the “History of U.K. Dancehall Live On Stage,” their Showtime concert at London’s Cargo club brought U.K. dancehall pioneers like General Levy and Asher Senator together with heirs to their legacy such as Stylo G. and Wiley. Music video director Rollo Jackson was there to capture the event for posterity: that footage, and interviews with the participants, is featured on this brand-new DVD.
