RED STRIPE MAKE SESSIONS
“A small, sweaty room. Great DJs. The odd live performance. Red Stripe.” The Fader, 2010.
The first Boiler Room sessions ever were founded on red stripe four-packs, borrowed speakers, empty warehouses, generators, gaffa tape, and of course a wealth of musical talent (watch this from back in 2010). Most people probably think we’ve been partnered with Red Stripe since day one, and I suppose through a mutual affinity for good music and drink we were – but now we’re making it real. We’re so excited to be working with a brand we genuinely respect, and one that is just as hyped as we are to take risks and do something different.

Red Stripe Make Session 001 – Lex Records & Juke Magazine w/DOOM, Jneiro Jarel, Boom Bip & Buddy Peace
We’ve hooked up with Red Stripe to do a series of sessions that will go by the name of ‘Red Stripe Make Sessions’. These are all about going back to the days when our show was built on borrowed speakers, ‘bring your own’ beers, empty warehouses, generators, gaffa tape, and a whole host of talented musical folks. It’s nice to finally work with these guys in an official kind of way, since they’ve been on our screen since day one anyway.
