Marley’s Mellow Mood, the world’s number one relaxation drink continues its support of artists and live music events by announcing the Relaxation Generation mini-festival.

Following the success of their free party on Bob Marley Way in London with Devlin, Maverick Sabre, Sway and Lady Leshurr Marley’s Mellow Mood is delighted to unveil its line-up for a 14-hour mini-festival at the Vibe Bar in London.

Spread over three stages the Relaxation Generation event offers a vital snapshot of the innovative movement that is happening in bass music, reflecting the most pioneering acts in drum and bass, dubstep, grime, reggae, hip-hop and soul.

Drum and bass is represented by Bristol’s own Roni Size, the man who paved the way for the sound to enter the mainstream and Zinc, the undisputed king of drum and bass before evolving to a bass-heavy street style of House that blurred the existing lines of electronic genres, forever changing the scene. Legendary junglist showman, Dynamite MC will also be performing.

Bringing carnival vibes to the party are Gappy Ranks with his fresh blend of R&B, rap and reggae and Natty showcasing his London take on roots and reggae music with an exclusive one-off performance with three Nyabinghi drummers.

Delivering some west London swagger to the East are the Dub Pistols with a DJ set while Mz Bratt shows off her grime and UK funky stylings.

Taking it down-tempo with their soulful vibes will be rising stars Liam Bailey and Sam Garrett.

Rodney P is the godfather of UK hip-hop who inspired a whole generation of MCs and producers and he performs at the Relaxation Generation event with long-time cohort Skitz. Smiler will also be in attendance performing tracks including his new single, which features Professor Green.

Relaxation Generation will be hosted by official DMC World Championship host Inja and DJs will keep the dance floor moving all day and night with Shepdog, Tayo, Daddy Nature, Kongo Sound, Farm Yardies and the Positive Vibes Crew all taking to the decks.

There will be screenings throughout the day of Kevin Macdonald’s critically-acclaimed film MARLEY, released on DVD and Blu-Ray on 20 August, along with a special silent screening of the film during the evening.

There will be lots of free giveaways such as Marley’s Mellow Mood relaxation drinks, jerk chicken and MARLEY goodies.
