Beat Cypher Teaser, YNR Instore, Mr Thing and more

Jehst, Sir Smurf, Micall Parknsun, Jayger and IQ did a sterling set in the shop last week, with Sonny jumping in for a freestyle...







If you missed the first LOUIS DEN BEAT CYPHER, DAMN you really did miss out, while the rest of the footage is being collated heres a little teaser video Kosyne put together. I'll also be playing highlights on a forthcoming show (not sure which as it's still got to be converted etc). Enjoy the footage, my personal highlights were Mr Dick's sample flip (they all got sent a sample of my choice a week before hand) and pretty much everything Kelakovski played, props to everyone involved and all the people who brought out their own beats for me to spin, not seen a night like it! Pics to follow



Mr Thing ripped it up at Funkbox as expected, heres a pic and I'll add some audio soon as he's said it's cool to put some of his set up for your downloading pleasure, all vinyl and not a laptop in sight...


Thanks to Aine, Ruth, Emma, Percy, Lisa (Happy Birthday!), Robard, Specky, Ace Bentura, Hayley, Matt, Pritt, Mr FX, Paul, Carys and everyone else who came out and the winners of the DJ Format raffle.

YNR Instore, Louis Den Beat Cypher, Serocee on Tour with Roots Manuva and more...

This Thursday is going to be a busy one, kicking off with a YNR Instore promoting Sir Smurf Lil's new album "A New Bloodline" which is out very soon. Performances from Smurf, Jehst, Micall Parknsun and DJ IQ.

If you've not seen them before, it's not to be missed with all of them having released top quality (and in some cases classic imo) albums, ep's, 12"s & 7"s in no particular order you should check
Jehst's High Plains Drifter EP, Falling Down, Alcoholic Author, Nuke Proof Suit and Keep It Live
Parky's Working Class Dad, Tha Sh!t and Hungry
Sir Smurf's My Alpha and
DJ IQ's Live From the Sofa and 9 To Five / 8 bars of Fire Pt.2
Get hunting (or maybe a few will be available at the gig)

The first Louis Den Beat Cypher is after the instore, so get yourself down to Rooty Frooty as it's going to be a unique experience not to be missed with 4 incredible producers Jehst, Soweto Kinch, Kelakovski and Mr Dick...swiped from Kos

The online beat community Louis Den Beat Battles (louisden.com) takes to the stage with the first outing of its "Beat Cypher" night; the aim of "Louis Den Beat Cypher" is to showcase the production element of hip-hop in a live setting, the main focus will be on the 4 profiled producers of the night as well as live PA's from artists.

The aim is to mix more established talent with those making noise in the underground and centre it around a production setting, all beats from the evening will be played out live from some or all of the hardware used to create it allowing the producers to make all manner of live changes to their beats as they are being played; the artists PA's are also over these beats meaning we'll be connecting them with producers they may not necessarily have worked with before making a unique never to be repeated again performance of their tracks.

The night will feature a set of showcase rounds from each producer having their beats played out live; all of which is up to the producer; you'll hear a mix of blaps from their catalogue ranging from fresh beats to existing tracks to never before heard bangers from their vault!. They'll also be taking part in preset challenges to deliver a beat made to certain specifications (samples / themes...similar to the online louis den beat battles format); here we'll hear their take on flipping a sample or following a particular theme.

Finally to stitch it all together the Louis Den Cypher DJ will be providing the soundtrack inbetween the beat rounds and PA's playing a mix of hip-hop, instrumentals and original breaks for you beat heads to try and place!, our DJ will also be playing a selection of submitted beats from the crowd!! producers in the crowd are encouraged to bring a short beat reel or 1 or 2 full lengh beats to get played over the system!.

If you are able to make it down to the night please do so! as we're keen to make a success of it and continue bringing you more as time goes by! (end of Thievery!)


I'm playing in Kidderminster on Friday for Our Corner
with the one and only Billy Chill Fingers, free in too.

Saturday is the welcome return of Mr Thing to Funkbox for our first gig at our new venue of The Hare and Hounds it was only right to get him back to Birmingham to rock the floor after an amazing gig for us last year, FUNKBOX looks forward to one of the worlds best Hip-Hop producers and DJ's digging deep for us once again.
