  <description><![CDATA[Location: Powerstation

FuZen Entertainment presents
Roots Manuva

Thursday 1st March, live at the Powerstation
$50+bf limited early bird tickets & standard $65 tickets will be available from 9am Monday 5th December at Ticketmaster & Real Groovy.
...
Hold the throne, Britains big daddy of hip hop and reggae licks ROOTS MANUVA is just weeks away from his most extensive NZ tour, touching down in Auckland to set the Powerstation alight on Thursday March 1st.

Joined on stage by a smokin’ live band, Roots Manuva (Rodney to his mum) will be performing tracks off his latest album 4everevolution as well as playing the classics that cemented his reputation as the voice of urban Britain.

Making his mark with 1999’s outstanding debut Brand New Second Hand, Roots Manuva’s classic gravely Jamaican flow has never been matched and his complex subject matter and use of language have developed over the course of the albums Run Come Save Me, Awfully Deep, Slime & Reason and a number of Dub versions and remixes of those albums.

Mercury Music Prize nominee Roots Manuva has been a mainstay of NZ radio with tunes like Witness (One Hope), Colossal Insight and Let The Spirit dominating both airwaves and clubs to this day. His distinctive vocals have also been heard on tracks by luminaries such as Gorillaz, DJ Shadow, Coldcut, The Herbaliser and Leftfield.

His new album 4everevolution, once again on Ninja Tune offshoot Big Dada Recordings, is a freshly minted classic, intense, cutting and clever. Monster tracks such as Watch Me Dance are grown-up club bangers and the album is widely considered to be his best to date. Mr Underrated keeps on delivering.

  <title>Roots Manuva + Dizz1 + Tuka at The Forum, The Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park on 8 Mar 2012</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: The Forum

Still burning up the airwaves with Toddla T on Watch Me Dance, Rodney Smith aka Roots Manuva returns to Australia with his full live band performing tracks off his brand new album 4everevolution as well as the classics from one of the most indelliable figures on the world Hip Hop stage over the last twelve years.

Making his mark with 1999’s debut Brand New Second Hand, Roots Manuva’s classic gravelly Jamaican flow has never been matched and his complex subject matter and use of language has developed across albums Run Come Save Me, Awfully Deep, Slime & Reason and a number of Dub interpretations and remixes of those albums.  He has been a mainstay of Australian radio with tunes like Witness (One Hope), Collosal Insight and Let The Spirit dominating both airwaves and clubs still to this day.

His new album explores many sides and tempos of music perhaps not immediately associated with Smith, whose usual bag is a mix of smokey, reggae influenced downtempo and soundsystem culture. 4everevolution sees him flexing over other contemporary UK sounds like Funky and Dubstep (that have been influenced by his familiar Jamaica) and is mostly helmed by Manuva at the boards as well as including outside help from producers like local man Dizz1 who dominates on the forthcoming next single Here We Go Again.

Bringing with him his full live band, Roots Manuva will be setting venues ablaze with five studio albums worth of material as well as giving Australian audiences some of the first tastes in the world of the new material in a live setting.

Roots Manuva  + Dizz1 + Tuka + special guests TBA
