Umm..
No hang on...
Well, actually I was born in London, and now reside in the north of England in Leeds, home of my hip-hop crew Homecut. My Pops is from Tooting, London (UK) and my Mum is from Adabraka, Accra (Ghana). So my perspective is all about worlds coming together, sharing, harmony (just like McCartney and Wonder). Most know me principally as an emcee and I'm also the man behind the supa-live hip-hop group known as Homecut. Right now I'm working on the Homecut album due for release to the end of this year (plus www.homecut.co.uk on the way). I also am part of nu-jazz collective Today's Mathematics. I also produce for various different artists (singers, emcees, beatboxers, jazz musicians etc) too. All good. I love God, Hip-hop and Orange Juice. Anyone who knows me, knows I like to keep it fresh, on conscious vibes, with some mashed up beats, and a dose of space jazz. Let's keep on.
Easy andy, apologies for not sending that tune to you asap like I promised - so much has got in the way and I've only just remembered that I've not sent it to you! Here is the youtube url while you wait... http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=ttQOp4BkMrU
Subdub&Exodus, New Bohemia, Vagabondz & The Doctors Orders have joined forces with Compost Records and the radio show Soulsearching to bring you an incredibly special weekend of music covering the best in Dubstep, reggae, hiphop, broken beat, drum & bass and dance-floor soul music on a setting taken straight from paradise.
The festival site is in the gorgeous surroundings of Petrcane, close to Zadar, A fishing village on a peninsular where the Dalmation Coast meets The Adriatic Sea. For those in the know it will be recognised as the same sight that the Garden Festival is held. It has an outside Amphitheatre for live acts, a Beach Side Terrace for day & night time dancing and a 1000 capacity nightclub for the beats to go on right through the night. At this beautiful site you can swim in the glistening Adriatic, dance on the beach under the stars, join us aboard the swashbuckling Argonaut Boat Party, get your groove on to a Funktion 1 Soundsystem in a retro Studio 54 styled nightclub or relax beneath the pines along the forested coastline.
Other acts confirmed include:
Foreign Beggars Dj Chef/Chefal Bun Zero Ruckspin SMB INC & Medison Fliptrix Mc's Jila Andlar & Gusto + more to follow
