Reek0

Name, where are you from?
Reek0, Tottenham.

Describe your style in three words?
Outdoorsy, cosy, block-colours.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Lynx Affair my uncles 40th birthday rave with Samtheman, one of the most f*cked venues I’ve been in. Me and Samtheman were the youngest amongst some real ravers haha.

If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Brighter Days, they are the family, I make most my music with them but also, we all have such great friendships. Doing a tour would be wholesome. Billy Boyo, he is my favourite Jamaican vocalist ever, god rest his soul. 

Which subcultures have influenced you?
Roots reggae history, I'm studying it for my dissertation and I honestly feel like by the end of it I will become a rasta. As a Jamaican boy growing up in inner London reggae music was such a huge part of that.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
An hour with J Dilla would be revolutionary, I would just want to listen to some records, sample some sh*t and vibe out, he’s one of the most influential people ever for me.

Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
Manchester was amazing to play at with my brothers. Such a great crowd, shelling off the place from like 1-4am of mandem bookings, I was pretty much on mic the whole night.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Ramonie. This is my brother from another mother, seeing this guy grow as a musician (but most importantly a person) over the last year or so has been beautiful to witness. The drive and integrity can only remind me of myself and I keep myself around real like-minded bruddas. So big up Ramonie.
