Roni Size & Reprazent Announce 20th Anniversary Re-Issue of "New Forms"

RONI SIZE & REPRAZENT ANNOUNCE DELUXE REISSUE OF THE MERCURY MUSIC PRIZE WINNING ALBUM NEW FORMS PRE-ORDER https://RoniSize.lnk.to/NewForms20PR Label: Mercury Records / Universal Music Release Date: November 10th, 2017 “We never set out to make a crossover” – Roni Size This November, New Forms by Roni Size & Reprazent celebrates its 20th anniversary with a deluxe 4CD / 2LP reissue. To commemorate this era-defining drum ‘n’ bass album, the package will feature a New Forms 20th anniversary live hardware mixprogrammed by Roni featuring previously unreleased remixes and re-edits, remixes from drum ‘n’ bass legends such as Grooverider, Source Direct and Krust (previously only released on vinyl) and the 2017 remaster of the original 2CD / LP. One of the definitive electronic albums of the 90s, New Forms brought drum ‘n’ bass into the mainstream. Fighting off industry heavyweights including the Spice Girls, The Prodigy, Suede, Radiohead, Primal Scream and The Chemical Brothers, Roni Size & Reprazentwon the 1997 Mercury Music Prize, going on to sell 300,000 units in the UK with its release on BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson’s Talkin’ Loud records. Reprazent were a Bristol-based collective brought together by Roni that included DJsDie, Suv and Krust as well as Dynamite MC and vocalist Onallee. Akin to their fellow Bristolians Massive Attack, they grew up on a diverse diet of influences including street soul, hip hop, electro, reggae and dub. They weaved elements of each with the new electronic sounds of jungle and break-beats to create drum ‘n’ bass - of which New Forms is one of the defining masterpieces. 20 years since being propelled into the mainstream, drum ‘n’ bass continues to thrive with artists including Chase and Status, Sigma, and Wilkinson dominating the charts, all of whom acknowledge Roni Size & Reprazent as forefathers of the scene. Whilst Grime, a genre with a similarly unique cultural heritage, enjoys its moment – it feels like perfect timing to honourNew Forms as the seminal milestone in British music as it is. This Autumn to further celebrate 20 years of New Forms, Roni Size will take his ground breaking audio-visual live show to Hospitality in the Park, London on Saturday 23rd September before widely touring throughout the world (full schedule TBA). Having debuted earlier this year at the Oval Space and since showcased at Moovin Festival andThe Downs, the combined live instrument and hardware show features state of the art production and 3D effect projection mapping in the form of the “light box;” and marks the first time Roni has performed the Mercury Prize winning album New Forms as a solo performer.

New Forms will be reissued November 10th, 2017.
