October 15th Solidarity - Remember the state terror raids

Join Yardwise and friends at Vintage Bar (25 Taranaki St) for an evening of true-skool hip hop, soul, reggae, ragga, dancehall, dubstep and extra special surprises!

Jailhouse Jen will get the party started with her secret stash of illict beats, then in keeping with the Yardwise tradition of heavyweight selections, Misteek, and Spin Zero will lay down the freshies, the classics and their own exclusive dubplates. Finally DJ Cannonbomb will move it up a notch dubstep style, for the folks who want to cut loose on the dancefloor through to the wee hours...
