Killa Kela is the ultimate, original, number one badman British beatboxer. He’s worked with the likes of Basement Jaxx, DJ Vadim and The Scratch Perverts, to name a few. He’s toured the world, featured on countless commercials and shared a stage with legends such as Jay Z, Mob Deep, Busta Rhymes, Pharell Williams, N*E*R*D and Goldie Lookin Chain. Now, for one night only, Nerds & Barry are pleased to announce that the mighty motermouth himself is gracing the stage with a very special appearance at this Saturday’s Carnival Special!
And here’s the icing on the cake…we’ve done some digging and our google powers have dug up a sick, as yet unreleased (we think) track from Killa Kela & The Cool Kids and we’re gonna share it with you…
You can’t move this week without hearing about the most exciting female vocalist to emerge from underground London in recent years, the Rinse FM family member and unbeatable songstress that is Katy B! After catapulting to number 5 in the UK charts in a matter of days, her Benga produced On A Mission is the ultimate soul-laced party upstart, complete with some tasty bass weight to boot! Here’s to Katy going number 1 (we’ve got our fingers crossed)!

What with Bigger Than Barry being a right Northern bunch, we thought it was only fair they had a bit of team down to rep it on Saturday night! Introducing…Jayou, the young Mancunian producer who in a very short space of time has managed to collaborate with the likes of Mad Decent C.E.O Diplo, the uber cool Ninja Tune label offshoot, Big Dada, and get his tunes played out on Radio 1 by none other than Major Lazer! Not forgetting the countless gigs across Europe for the likes of Bugged Out, Bigger Than Barry, Hit ‘N’ Run and DubWorxx!

Twitter came up trumps this morning when one of our favourite producers Roska threw a freebie out to the world. Get your download on and cop his ‘ard food remix of Hardhouse Banton’s funky ‘Reign’. Definitely a dancehall smash, especially with the classic Roska touch. Roska, Roska, Roska!
