Who is Nasty?
The concept is the brainchild of a single person’s belief in the power of boundless empathy. Philippe Wolf A.K.A. Vol_Core devoted his working life to spreading awareness for Amnesty International and spends any spare moment exploring music. Being drawn to non-mainstream production from the underbelly of the industry, he realised both worlds shared a common emotion; unity.
I Am Nasty is his way of translating that common ground into positive action, donating all proceeds to Amnesty International. It took a profound knowledge of the scene, a calm complexion and a leap of faith, but it definitely proved worthy of the effort. I Am Nasty is now looking forward to it’s third edition, staying true to the original non-profit idea thanks to a warm welcome and helping hand from everyone involved. Each edition is proving bigger and better, with more local and overseas artists happily doing their bit to promote global human rights.
Nasty…
The first edition took us from reggae and ragga through oldskool jungle all the way to raggacore. The rootsy mood was set by the delightful Lioness Rebelation crew. Some good old favorites and new local talents built up to an amasing set by Mad Dem sound, which created a buzz that lasted well into the early hours.
…Nastier…
Round two was like the darker flipside to the first night, ranging from drum&bass to oldskool jungle, rave and core. Despite having to close up early due to unforseen circumstances, the turn out was amasing. Thanks to the spirited sets delivered throughout the evening the vibe was better than ever.
…Nastiest
Session three brings on a change of venue, so on to pastures new, far away from early closing times. We’re all working our magic to make this the nastiest one ever so get ready for more goodwill partying.
See you there!
