5enses is a cassette mix series centred around evoking the 5 senses curated by 404 Eros. For this chapter each DJ has been asked to embody the energy of Notting Hill Carnival. Each cassette tells their own unique narrative sonically and through the items accompanied for each 5ense.
For the third instalment of the chapter we are very blessed to welcome the prolific producer, artist & way way more than that, Dennis Bovell. For those not familiar with Bovell, we're sure you know his music.
Initially forming Matumbi where he found relative fame & became the backing band for many touring Jamaican reggae stars when they played in England, including I-Roy, Ken Boothe and Johnny Clarke. He was instrumental in forming the sound of lovers rock in the early 80's writing hits such as Janet Kay's "silly games". Dennis produced some of the 80s finest dub, disco and post-punk gems – both as a solo artist and as a producer for Linton Kwesi Johnson, I Roy, Steel Pulse, The Slits & even mixing for Fela. On the post punk side, think Maximum Joy, Thompson Twins, The Pop Group, The Slits, Orange Juice & more recently Golden teacher.
To say we're gassed is an understatement.
This mix represents the Carnival sounds for Dennis & we're very excited for you to hear it.
