MUD : Havana World Service - Drop The Lime/Madu/Q-Project

garthv

The very first in the series of Mud Havana World Service parties showcasing a wide variety of urban genres from cities all over the world. This session feature NYC's Drop the Lime ripping it up with his eclectic global bass selections, Dublin's Groovalizacion crew giving us a taste of everything from live reggae, dancehall, cumbia and even an hour of dancefloor mashing Balkan beat. Upstairs in the Mezz Spectrum hold it down for the DnB scene with Total Science's Q-Project on soulful latin/Brazilian liquid tip, and Mr Jones' Frank & Orlando rock the Box Favela style. In the Cafe we'll have a Havana cocktail bar in full pouring mode with a specially selected Havana cocktail menu for the occasion...
