*MeggaDillah

In primul rand ascult muzica de la 4-5 ani, atunci cand tatal meu imi punea Bob Marley la niste casti mai mari decat capul meu. Am inceput sa fac muzica in anul 2005 si am inceput cu muzica hip-hop. In scurt timp am realizat ca prin intermediul acestui gen de muzica nu ma pot exprima in modul in care doream, asa ca am cautat altceva. In muzica mea ma simt influentat de SOJA (Soldiers of Jah Army) si desigur, de Bob Marley. Pe langa asta mai sunt influentat de Capleton

Astfel am ajuns sa gasesc in muzica reggae ceea ce doream, drept urmare am inceput sa ma ocup in mod sustinut de reggae cu speranta de a sustine miscarea rasta in Romania.

First of all i'm listening to music since i was 4-5 years old when my father played Bob Marley on some headphones bigger than my head.I started making music in 2005 and i started with hip-hop music.In short time i realised that i cannot express myself through this genre of music so i searched for something else.In my music i feel influenced by SOJA (Soldiers of Jah Army) and of course Bob Marley.Besides this i'm influenced by Capleton aswell.
After all of this i found what i was searching for in reggae music.As a result i started dealing with reggae hoping to support the rasta movement in Romania.

Today we present you : Exit Oz

Exit Oz is a contemporary jazz band with touches of a multitude of genres, all comprised together in their very own Mlazz style. Founded in 2011, the project has participated in a wide range of festivals, from electronic to jazz and even metal, never quite fitting completely but never failing to surprise. Touted as Romania's most promising jazz group after the release of their first album in 2014, the band moved further away from the classical jazz scene and went on to a more aggressive and unconventional approach.

The band is fronted by the renowned internet phenomenon #Jerome LeSax, a multi-instrumentalist gone tenor saxophone and completed by Mikel, Gareth and Adrian, masters of bass, guitar and drums.

Although Exit Oz could mention many famous names of artists they have 'shared the stage with' in the biography, the band prefers to let their own music serve as a recommendation.

Big shouts for another one of our headliners: RADIKAL GURU

One of the brightest lights of the roots-influenced underground community for the past half-decade, Poland born Mateusz Miller has pioneered a compelling and unique fusion of sounds that encompass dub, reggae and dubstep under his Radikal Guru moniker. Inspired by an appreciation of soundsystem culture, his music has become synonymous with suffocating degrees of dread bassweight, vibrant and eclectic palettes of tone, and varying energy levels that cater for both dancefloor focussed ruckus and for more meditative listening. Heavily influenced by the likes of King Tubby and Scientist, Matt first gained worldwide acclaim and recognition through a string of killer 12” releases on leading reggae/dubstep imprint Dubbed Out, before forming a creative partnership with fellow label Moonshine Recordings where he has gone on to cement his reputation as one of the strongest proponents of the scene. His Moonshine discography boasts highlights that include his debut LP ‘The Rootstepa’ the mighty ‘Dread Commandments’ 12” and his second album ‘Subconscious’, and keep an eye out for some seriously exciting developments in the pipeline.
Not only an talented producer, Matt is also a fine selector, conveying his passion for music through DJ sets that pay homage to the sound and culture’s rich history as much as they showcase the freshest cuts of sonic innovation from himself and his contemporaries. He has hit spots all around the world to assault soundsystems with bass-fuelled beats and positive vibes. Catch Matt bringing heat to a series of festivals this summer, and with a landmark tour yet to be announced, there is plenty to look forward to on the horizon.
