Positive Productions

Formed in Brighton in May 2003, inspired by the driving trancelike beats of the traditional rhythm section or 'engine room' of the Trinidadian steelband, 6-piece Engine Room UK plays iron brake drums and other bits of metal with steel sticks.
The band updates the sound of the Trinidadian rhythm section into an innovative high energy, handmade, tribal-industrial dance music. Alongside the insistent sound of iron, Engine Room use two 3-note bass steelpans, drumkit, djembe drums, bass toms and miscellaneous percussion to play breakbeat, techno, drum & bass, house & soca.

Gig list: Glastonbury '04, Notting Hill Carnival '03 & '04, Brighton Carnival '04, regular Brighton club nights (Concorde 2, Audio, Volks Tavern, Ponana & Pressure Point), L'Arbate nightclub, Chamonix, France Feb '04.

Upcoming '05 gigs to date: Glastonbury, Streets of Brighton 13 May, Brighton Carnival Parade & showcase at Concorde 2 & Big Splash 29 May - Contact us for more details
