Strictly Reggae Happy Hour

Bassline Pressure

Jilly's

Strictly Reggae Happy Hour, followed by Bassline Pressure. Wednesdays at Jilly's.

The influence of reggae on current music and, more important, DJ culture, is felt the world over. Here at home, Jilly's on Broadway is starting up the Strictly Reggae Happy Hour (7 to 9 p.m.) and Bassline Pressure (9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.) every Wednesday night. Resident DJ Daylight Robber plays mostly roots reggae and ragga (reggae-tinged drum-'n'-bass). His partner, Spider Bigger, follows with his collection of dubstep, a new subgenre that's rising from the ashes of UK garage. Known as "grime" when MCs rap over it, the music is ear-deep in fat-ass bass lines and syncopated beat structure. By all accounts, it's kind of a big deal in the UK and on the East Coast. Meanwhile, Jilly's has earned a reputation for booking great DJ events that quickly fizzle out after a couple of months. For clubgoers who want to hear genuinely new music, let's hope that doesn't happen with this night.

It was good to see these guys get a little recognition, but why wait until a person turns around to stab them? Chris, your last comment was unnecessary, uninformed, uneducated and exceedingly inaccurate and your editor should have line-item veto'd it. Shame on you both! Anyone that's been around for a minute knows that Jilly's has always been a consistent supporter of DJ events, before and longer than any other establishment in this city!
