Strongroom Studios Presents… Banana Klan & Warrior Charge
Well, well, well… there’s something a bit special happening in the Strongroom Bar on the 16th March. The next instalment of the Strongroom Studios Presents sessions sees the mighty BANANA KLAN SOUND SYSTEM live on stage alongside one of the UK’s finest rhythm sections WARRIOR CHARGE.
Banana Klan is the touring party collective featuring Roots Manuva, Ricky Ranking, Gibbs King, DJ MK, Ellie Mae, Big Daddy Kope, Hash Basey, Amaziree and the Dub College Selectors. The philosophy is “Have equipment, have crew and we do what the f*ck we feel like.” Can’t say fairer than that.
So it’s already sounding fantastic. Now, who’d be the perfect partners for a party like this? Warrior Charge? They have a pedigree that includes long-standing relationships with the likes of Adrian Sherwood, Tricky and Aswad, producing as well as playing. That’s that sorted then. This is going to be unique, don’t miss.

- INTRO MAGAZINE JAPAN 2006Perry and Wayne who have participated in a number of projects are soon to hit Japan as a unit called Warrior Charge with their newly released first album in hand!
Perry and Wayne are a powerful rhythm section and brilliant producers. Dubbed as UK's Sly and Robbie, they have been part of a multitude of projects such as African Head Charge and On-U works. Names also include Aswad, Tricky, Ghetto Priest and Audio Active. Their overwhelming performance for African Head Charge's two Japan tours is still fresh in our memory. The duo now called Warrior Charge just released a long-awaited first album No Foundation No Charge in September. With a Japan tour imminent in October, I interviewed the two artists over the phone.
An album perfect for enjoying long autumn nights. An artistic new style of Reggae, No Foundation No Charge. Warrior Charge, the powerful rhythm section so enchanting...
PS As the last tune More Fire was more than a wee bit MC-like, I asked them if they listen to the latest Jamaican dance hall tunes. They say they performed with people like Sanchez and Lukie D last year. Perry's brother is doing sound systems. Indeed they are close to the dance hall stuff. Reggae brother discovered
COOKIE SCENE JAPAN 2006They have worked on a number of projects for the likes of Tricky and Aswad as production team. Perry, the drummer, part of African Head Charge's rhythm section and Wayne, the bassist. The duo, having played together for a decade, has completed their first album. UK's reputedly strongest rhythm section will surely attract a wide audience with their omnivorous grooves. We interviewed the unit in the run-up to their Japan tour in October.
ALBUM REVIEW (No Foundation No Charge)
This is a self introduction of the two men who have supported Reggae in UK through its history showing us a big picture. It was drawn by the duo once praised by Tricky as UK's Sly & Robbie with colourful guest artists, mapping the omnivorous nature of UK's black music culture, encompassing Reggae, Dub, Soul, Abstract Hip Hop, Breakbeat etc. I really look forward to their October Japan tour to see what sort of musical map they will show us with their cornucopia of styles including ON-U Sound, Bristol and Aswad.
by Hideo KogureREMIX MAGAZINEA new unit formed by Perry Melius (drums) and Wayne Nunes (bass), the two men known as the powerhouse of UK's urban music scene. The duo started their musical career when they joined ON-U's African Head Charge before picked up by Tricky to be part of the band. Perry and Wayne have been involved in a multitude of recording sessions. Also known as LICKLE KINGS, they have visited Japan as part of Asian Dub Foundation. The two musicians have an undisputed reputation among the world's artists with their experience, musical knowledge and wide-spanning creativity.
