Mon 21st Soundcrash Productions presents BLACK GRASS + Guests WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED. REFUNDS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM THE POINT OF PURCHASE. Catskills release the third album from Black Grass simply entitled 'Three'. The project of DJ/producer Mex, Black Grass involves a floating cast of guests including hip hop legend J-Live, vocalist Dionne Charles from funk sensations Baby Charles, Hearin' Aid's Aaron Phiri, reggae representation by Benjammin' and Jah Marnyah, along with many more talented contributors. With this being the third Black Grass album, according to Mex it mirrors another famous trilogy. "This album is my Return of the Jedi, whereas 'A Hundred Days In One' was my Empire Strikes Back and was quite dark, this is more fun with couple of Ewoks thrown for laughs. Rest assured I won't be ruining it with a load of unnecessary CGI though." Mex's career spans 20 years and during this time he has built up a reputation as one of the most talented but under-rated DJs. He was resident at the seminal Brighton night 'Knowledge of Self', then moved on to open for the likes of OC, Jurassic 5 and Big L whilst also producing the self-titled album 'Black Grass' in 2004, and then the critically-acclaimed follow up 'A Hundred Days in One' in 2006. Black Grass has a series of live gigs coming up including The Luminaire in London and a series of festivals across the UK, Europe and Australia.
