Independent imprint Dub City Rhythms has announced details of its third dancefloor celebration at Fidelity Studio on Friday 27 November, bringing together DJs, live percussion and MC performances.

The event, titled ARIYA!, will run from 10pm to 1am at the Queen Street venue in Dublin. Entry is free, and would-be attendees are recommended to arrive early as the venue can fill up quickly.

The night will feature a back-to-back DJ set from label founders Barrio B and Lex Woo, accompanied by percussionist Basil Isaac, performing as Basil Black2Basic, and MC Kwasi. Further guest performers are expected to be announced.

“Dancing is back!” said Lex Woo, co-founder of Dub City Rhythms. “It’s all about the dancefloor vibes and our live elements bring this party to the next level. We’re so happy to play these rhythms together on this damn-fine sound system for the Dublin dancefloor community.”

The event follows two parties at Fidelity Studio earlier this year, which celebrated the label’s first two releases by Barrio B – Boomah, released in April, and Nsa Yuka.

The label, previously known as Rhythm People Recordings, has adopted the name Dub City Rhythms to reflect its connection with the Irish capital. Further Irish festival appearances are planned for 2027, as well as forthcoming vinyl release in the coming months.

According to the label, Dub City Rhythms is ‘dedicated to producing a strong electropical and afro-club style with international distribution’.
