Now in its 29th successful year, DMC brings together the globe’s brightest DJ talents, vetted by a series of gruelling heats from London to Tokyo to Brazil. DMC continue to host the most entertaining and jaw dropping DJ competition in the world.
Following the successful addition of computer based DJ programs last year, the battlers are sure to raise the bar even further in 2012. With heavyweights Rane and Serato as sponsors, DMC are dedicated to moving with the times to represent the current and future DJ styles.
Check out the sick line-up Chrome & Black have amassed for this year’s battle! Make sure you don’t miss it, next Saturday the 18th August.
Sponsors this year are Belton-Molotow, Stussy, and The Old Vic Tunnels. Starting at around 10 am and running till dark, Chrome & Black also have 4 secret judges but you wont know who they are till they announce the Queen and King of Leak Street
Yeah, yeah I know it was actually the 6th of August but I was busy being hungover and watching ‘The Heroes of Telemark’ (oh my days that film is so fucking good). I figured watching Usain Bolt win the 100m race was good enough celebration. But since a lot of influence within hip-hop comes from the Carribean and Jamaica I thought I’d write a cheeky post in commemoration of sorts. So I’ve decided to post loads of Sean Paul…Hahaha no. My grandparents came over to these cloudly shores in the late 1940’s/early 50’s (yes, yes Chinese-Jamaican’s stand up!) so I figured I should at least say something about Jamaica. So here it is: very nice weather, sadly too violent, good chicken, Reggae, very fast runners and my nan’s saltfish and ackee .
Here’s Canibus. Happy 50 Years Jamaica!

Beatboxing genius Beardyman headlines Soundcrash at KOKO! The 2x times UK Beatboxing Champion’s live shows see the bearded one create music live in front of the audience with the help of his mouth and a enviable collection of gadgetry that would make any music geek drool. Expect plenty of audience participation, quality tunes, and if we’re lucky we may even get to play drum’n’bass musical statues. Hobnobs will be confiscated upon entry.
Beardyman has come a long way since winning the UK beatbox championships TWICE in 2006 & 2007 (in 2008 he was the judge) and since his internet viral Kitchen Diaries was shown on the Ellen Degeneres show in the USA in 2007 it has now accumulated over 5 million plays across YouTube (with the total views of all of his clips in the high tens of millions) and his skills bagged him a headliner slot next to Katy Perry at the first ever YouTube LIVE concert, in 2008. She may have kissed a girl, but Beardyman created the buzz for the whole event and got to second base by helping YTL make history by receiving the most ever views online, ever, at one sitting.
Damn, and if that ain’t enough, Beardy’s live music mash-ups have graced the main stages at Sonar, Bestival, Lovebox, Snowbombing and Rise festivals and supported the likes of Groove Armada, Jazzy Jeff and the Beastie Boys. All this from a guy who wrote a symphony for his school orchestra aged TEN.
BEARDYMAN (live)
Plus special guests
Saturday 22 September 9pm-3am KOKO – London… 1A Camden High Street, London, NW1 7JE.
