BACKGROUND
LONGSHOT are a tight collective of music collectors, committed to the
art of Reggae. We have been together as a collective for over 6 years. We cut
our teeth playing at some of the most amazing, raves, warehouse parties, outdoor
parties, and continue to maintain residencies at some of Manchester's Best Club
nights including DRUM MUSIC,
BASS CAMP and CRASH.
Although we have different backgrounds with regards to musical tastes, we all
understand each other styles, a lot of which over laps. We have come to find
reggae music as a centre point and focus this though Longshot. We always like
a little bit of Ska, loads of Roots, Rub-a-dub, dancehall and dub. Although
we still play killer Hip-hop sets, Disco, Funk and aren't afraid to drop some
Jungle and other raves bombs.
Be assured though LONGSHOT SOUND SYSTEM is, in the way that
has been paved for us by past masters of JA and the UK; whilst firmly in the
present, designing for the future through the unifying rhythms of REGGAE.
SOUND SYSTEM
Our long-term aim is to build up a decent sound system and we are currently
really close to realising this! We have been supported by COMPRESSION, SYMBIOSIS,
HIGH PRESSURE &
STUMBLEFUNK sound systems. Many
thanks to those crews for all the help!
STUDIO
Recently we have been spending our money on studio gadgets and not
speakers. We will soon be armed with our own versions and dubs to really get
the dance floor rocking.
BAND
An off-shoot of LONGSHOT, a new band that is currently rehearsing and
will be recording a demo in the studio and appearing at dances soon!
