Get ready for Jamaican music from all eras – from the deep roots of the 70s, to the foundation sounds of the early 80s, through to the latest new reggae and dancehall – as Chant Down blaze it up down in The Mercat basement.

Residents Jesse I and Ras Crucial will be joined in October by guest selectors So Fire (I Love Dancehall), Rick Howe (Riddim Yard, PBS FM) and Operator Andy (System Unknown) – plus very special guest Damajah performing live on the mic. Strictly reggae and dancehall; no crossover, no compromise!

More Fire #188 takes place on Saturday 8th October at The Mercat basement (456 Queen St, Melbourne). Doors open at 10pm, with a cover of $12 or $10 for concession holders and PBS members.
