Roots Manuva - Interview
It is a surprisingly cold Friday afternoon in September, and I am sitting in a high ceilinged, fairly small venue called Archspace in Haggerston. Bar staff make coffee whilst equipment is set up at the other end of the room. It feels a little bit awkward. I sit waiting, wondering how this evening will unfold. Then a few moments later the speakers crank into life, blasting the unmistakeable sound of that bassline… “Witness the Fitness” blares out into the space, loud and unforgiving and charming.
