Heartical will be the first French sound system to take part in a clash in New York, on 27 April.
Heartical will thus represent France's chances for the first time in the famous Albany Manor venue in Brooklyn, a high place of the New York sound system scene.
In a 100% dubplate clash refereed by Jimmy Spliff (King Shine sound), Heartical will be up against two local sound systems: the veterans of BBC Hi-Fi and the Black Magic sound.
That's not all: Heartical will also clash Youthman Promotion, Sir Coxone Outernational and King Tubby's Hi Fi this summer, on 18 August, at the One Love Festival in Upminster (England). Another 100% dubplate clash.
The festival programme is, moreover, substantial: U-Roy, Black Uhuru, Ijahman Levi, Sister Nancy, Al Campbell, David Rodigan, General Levy, Joseph Cotton, Rod Taylor, Iqulah Rastafari, Saxon Sound system, Iration Steppas, Channel One, Abashanti-I, Jah Tubby's and many more…
