Un-phased by any genre, his unique mixing style and one off brand of mash-up mayhem when it comes to tunes makes Rattus a top favourite among Urban Nerdy punters looking to get their rave on!

Klose One
Another no limits Urban Nerds spinner with an ear for bass heavy dubstep as well as super dirty electro and the most minimal of late night beats. Klose One jumped inside the Urban Nerds ride soon after the night’s launch early in 2007. Since then he’s killed off dancefloors UK wide with an ultra-tight mix of eclectic party beats. Klose won’t be pigeonholed into one genre or scene, you can catch him playing fast-paced sets and mixing up dubstep, 2 step, bassline, hip-hop, bashment, breakbeat, electro and classic dance tracks and always rocking the crowd in front of him. When he’s not Urban Nerding it he’s telling you to Do One! Do One! on the decks for Nerds family tree, ATG. It’s a Klose One!

Illaman
The Urban Nerds host with the most, MC Illaman is in the BLAD CLAT building so get to know! Illaman officially wears the crown as the only MC to be a fully-fledged member of the Urban Nerds crew, supporting Rattus Rattus and Klose One with a raw-tongued lyrical assault that won’t take no for an answer! When this man’s about, you better BLAD CLAT move, you heard? After bursting on to London’s pirate radio circuit, Illaman’s first public appearance was in 1999 with Flict at the Battle of the Bands at notorious London nightspot, The Garage. A win saw them embark on a UK tour that grabbed the attention of the likes of Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs. These days Illa’s a permanent fixture at Urban Nerds raves as well as joining Klose One at ATG’s dirty dances when he’s telling ya’ll to Do One!

Dusty Lungs
Representing hip-hop from its early roots to the deeper, darker UK sound as well as dancehall and tip-top, eardrum busting ragga dub! Urban Nerds DJ Dusty Lungs is a true hip-hop enthusiast. When he’s tearing-up the decks at Urban Nerds it really kicks off, with dancing on tables and all sorts of unspeakable party mayhem as ravers get their wind on to his limitless pick of bone-shaking dancehall dubs! On the production front, Dusty Lungs reps UK collective, Ghosttown – an offshoot of legendary UK hip-hop massive, Foreign Beggars, they’ve been responsible for kitting out the likes of Jehst, Mystro, Dr. Syntax, Stig of the Dump, Dubbledge and Sir Smurf l’il with beats galore!

Daddy Nature
Keeping it dubwise with reggae, dubstep and a generous helping of the tastiest soul and funk around town. Seen. Daddy Nature is Urban Nerds’ undercover brother from another mother. A part of the Step:One collective that’s run side-by-side Urban Nerds from day one, Daddy Nature shares Step:One’s spiritual take on music and the need to produce an all-seeing, self motivated level of personal satisfaction which will in turn create a greater awareness of what is, and should be, the answer to the common goal, amongst all people, no matter of faith, creed, colour or conviction. That is, music is a mission, not a competition. Wise-up and rise-up to the sound of the Audio Revolution! Step:One.

Drama
Strictly dubstep through and through, Drama comes correct with the best of the best in the newest sound to rise from the underground! Drama dubstepped his way into the Urban Nerds camp in the early days and has been pulling tight sets stuffed with bass weight out of the bag ever since! Formerly part of the Cast Iron Projects, ‘Drams’ as we like to call him can boast playing in venues such as Fabric, Ministry of Sound, Herbal, 93 Feet East and Scala, along with the rest of team Urban Nerds. He’s also dropped bombs on the airwaves on London underground stations such as Pyro Radio & Sub FM. Keep it dubstep.
