Chant Down keeps the fire blazing for Australia’s longest-running reggae night, mixing the best new roots and the freshest dancehall together with vintage classics, custom dubplate specials, and live vocals in a soundsystem style. Residents Jesse I and Ras Crucial will be joined in May by special guest DJ Agent 86. World reknowned as a cross-genre DJ, there are very few who can match his skills behind the decks, and when he plays reggae, he truly plays it like no other. Also gracing the Mercat stage will be Rasta Unity’s lead singer Sistah Candice, plus DJ Sam and Mamacita Bonnita.

More Fire # 159 takes place on Saturday 10th May at Deep 11 (Mercat Cross Hotel basement, 456 Queen St, Melbourne). Doors open at 10pm, with a cover of $10 or $8 for concession holders, and PBS FM members.
