In 1997 Roni Size and his drum and bass collective Reprazent released the album “New Forms”. That year they won the Mercury Music Prize for New Forms which in turn helped bring Roni, Reprazent & drum and bass to the masses.
Reprazent became the sound of the summer in ‘97 with a series of festival appearances including Tribal Gathering. Winning the Mercury Music Prize boosted their international status and the world awoke to the sound of Roni Size and his label Full Cycle. The Singles from the album all featured the unmistakable vocals of Onallee including ‘Brown Paper Bag’, ‘Heroes’ and ‘Watching Windows’ which have all become modern day classics.
New Forms was quickly followed up by the album “Breakbeat Era” which he teamed up with DJ Die and Leonie Laws before returning to Reprazent to record the second album, “In The Mode” which was released in October 2000.
In 2001 Roni Size released his first truly solo album, “Touching Down” which is still one of the biggest selling independent d&b albums to date.
In 2008 Roni resurrected Reprazent with the release of a deluxe edition of “New Forms” on Universal. Reforming the band with original members, Reprazent toured some of the biggest festivals in Europe including Bestival, Glastonbury, Lovebox & Exit which saw them nominated for best dance act in the UK Festival Awards.
2009 is looking like another massive year for Roni with a new Reprazent album imminent and a world wide tour taking in Australia, North America, Europe and of course the UK.
With such a hectic schedule we are proud to announce that Roni Size will be performing a DJ set here at The Custard Factory on Friday 3rd July in the legendary Marquee.
Do not miss this opportunity to see one of the true drum and bass greats.
