Clarks - Bashment vs Afrobeats

The long awaited…

Bashment Vs Afrobeat

Not a week goes by here at Clarks when we don’t get someone asking us when are we going to do an

Afrobeat link up. Well this year, the time has finally come and we’ve got a serious treat in store for

you with two very special guests coming over from Manchester for this one!

Representing Guiding Star Hi-Fi, JOEY B has been running the successful Hot Milk dance in

Manchester for over 8 years. A skilled DJ with an eye-popping vinyl collection, Joey is a musical

connoisseur of all things big & bashy. Whilst well known for rinsing bashment, reggae and several

other genres, Joey has more recently moved into Afrobeat territory with last year’s Azonto Mix

which you can listen to here: https://soundcloud.com/joey-b-hotmilk/joey-b-the-azonto-mixtape-

2013

Joining Joey on mic duties is the imitable MC FOX. A stalwart of the Manchester scene, Fox’s style is

truly unique combining yardstyle rapping with a tremolo singjay style. Fox has recently collaborated

with some heavyweight producers including Zed Bias & Chimpo. If you haven’t heard of Fox, most

likely you will have heard his verse on Zed Bias & Omar’s smash ‘Dancin’: http://www.youtube.com/

We’re kicking the year off with a bang bringing you two of the hottest genres around right now. It’s

time to dust off the Clarks and brush up on your Azonto moves!
