THURSDAY TING @ THE ASTORIA, 769 E. Hastings. Dancehall and ting.
LIGHTA! is the sounds of the dubstep, dancehall, jungle, dub, bass, fire, and hybridized club and soundclash music - mixed, blended, glitched out and mashed up into what some might call "newsound". LIGHTA! SOUND is about the fresh riddims, while staying firmly rooted in the sounds of bass, echo and dubwise business.
LIGHTA! core members are Michael Red, Calamalka, Max Ulis, Taal Mala, Tusk, Daega Sound System, Tank Girl, Self Evident and DJ Cure. Side souldiers are Mandai, Condition Red, Angst, and other shadows lurking.
We throw our own underground parties, a few handfuls of club events, take care of a few weeklies in the city, did the Dubforms series, pushing the lighta! sound across Vancouver, down the west coast and over the oceans. We make music, make dubs, put soundbwoys to rest, and burn the wicked system down from the inside out. Kill them with love, lightness, root vibration and sonic fire.
