Known for his infamous Tracksuit Party nights, pivotal work helping to build many of London’s underground sounds, pioneering work in the breakbeat scene and a global DJ career that encompasses a plethora of genres, now our mate Tayo has stepped up to raise some well needed cash for Britain’s struggling young homeless community.

When we caught up with Tayo at Snowbombing last month we heard of his massive fundraising effort for Centrepoint “the national charity that supports and campaigns for homeless young people.” Running the epic London Marathon his efforts have already raised close to £4,000 of well needed cash for this pivotal charity, which strives to help young British people get themselves out of poverty and change their lives for good by learning key life skills.

In our post Snowbombing recovery we neglected this post but whilst fully aware that the Marathon is long gone, we can assure you Tayo’s been putting the work in hard (he was off the booze at Snowbombing which is no mean feat) and ran his heart out a couple of weeks back!

Please help the cause and get your donation on through Just Giving, anything you can spare would be hugely appreciated but we recommend digging deep ; )

On Wednesday 29th September, the Urban Nerds DJs join a mammoth line-up at the o2 Islington Academy in Angel, with Facejacker’s first ever live performance alongside sets from Plan B, Wretch 32, Riz MC, Akala, Lowkey, Mighty Moe, Zinc, Nero, Hatcha, Herve, Bok Bok, Aggros Santos, Bobby Friction, MZ Bratt, Pathaan, Envy, Sabotage (United We Stand), Mumzy Stranger, Logan Sama, Urban Nerds, Martelo (YoYo) and many more!

“pls give me ur monies for to help for the floods…and while ur at it, bring ur bank account and sort code pls. madame Brian Badonde is also looking forward to bem-cee-ing over bub-step for barite” Facejacker

What’s so special about this incredible event is that absolutely every penny raised will go to the DEC Floods appeal and everyone, EVERYONE, is performing and working for free in aid of the terrible plight suffered by the Pakistani people in the wake of disastrous flooding.

“The scale of suffering in Pakistan is unfathomable. An area the size of Italy is flooded and a population equal to Australia is now homeless. The party for Pakistan aims to raise money and awareness by enlisting some of the best names in UK Music for an unforgettable event” Riz MC

Join us on Wednesday 29th September to party it up for this great cause.

Advance tickets available from the o2 Academy Islington
