When three of the most interesting voices in electronic music get together in one place all of San Francisco should take notice. Jungle/Drum and Bass/Broken/Beat superstar Roni Size will be joined by the legendary Dynamite MC at 1015 Folsom on Friday, April 17, but it's the addition of yet another grandmaster to the bill that makes this one evening a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Dub legend and longtime Lee "Scratch" Perry collaborator The Mad Professor, will perform a complete live set on 48 channels of musical intensity. In a day when most events are genre-specific and hard pressed to present one truly pioneering voice, the presence of three such masters on one eclectic groundbreaking night is truly extraordinary. All three artists are releasing albums in 2009 and this event promises to be among the most anticipated musical events of the year.

Roni Size has been a force in the world of electronic music for more than 10 years, since dropping out of high school at age 16 to begin his journey towards superstardom. Certainly one of the heads on the "Mr Rushmore" of drum and bass, Roni is also credited with having pushed jungle out of its darkroom roots into some truly experimental jazz, ambient, and world realms. With longtime collaborators Krust, and Die, Roni formed Reprazent, one of the seminal groundbreaking live acts in the history of electronic music. For this San Francisco performance, Roni will bring one of the Uk's most distinctive and versatile MC's, Dynamite MC. Since getting his start as a livge collaborator with Reprazent, Dynamite MC has become one of the most sought-after voices in electronic music, toasting and rapping with a wide cross-section of cutting edge artists. In addition to ample solo work as an MC and producer, Dynamite has performed and recorded with the Nextmen, Krafty Kutz, the Freestylers.

The question is often asked, just how sane is The Mad Professor? Judging by the contents of his character and by the results of his recordings, and the variety of the artistes who has passed through Ariwa studios then he is certainly one of the sanest producers around. Neil Fraser began his musical career on the technical side of things as a service engineer for mixing desks and amplifiers. That skill and a good ear for "on key" music became his asset when he began building a 4 track studio at his home in Thornton Heath. At school Neil was christened Mad Professor by friends who were amazed by the experiments he was carrying out. By the turn of the Eighties, Mad Professor launched the Ariwa label and released "Come back Again" by Sgt. Pepper, then came "Young Girl" by Family Love, "Love Power/Love On A Two Way Street" by Divinia Stone, "True True Loving" by Aquizim.

Soon after Mad Professor launched the now legendary Dub Me Crazy series featuring "Beyond The Realms Of Dub" "Escape To The Asylum Of Dub" and "Dub Maniacs On The Rampage", the series became on top with the variations of sounds and effects. Whilst all the music was flowing, Mad Professor was gradually
