Kalaish – MC, Producer and one half of Unitedmindz. Kal first caught the DnB/ jungle bug from way back in the raving/ free party days over a decade and a half ago attending his first ‘rave’ in 1991, an experience that changed his life!! As a lover of drums and an accomplished drummer playing traditional kits, Djembe, Darabhuka and Conga’s, it was a natural progression from the early rave sounds to the Jungle and DnB of the AWOL Paradise Club sound through to the present day.
Inspired by his love of Hip Hop and DnB kal took the mic into the public realm over 3 years ago, teaming up with DJ CJ for the 6 hour + Unitedmindz show, now in its 3 rd year. Kalaish has 3 elements which he maintains as the basis for his mc'ing - Musicality, Content and Timing. It's about becoming with the music, the flows, understanding the sound and picking the right time to rhyme. Kalaish gives the DJ the space and time to flex and the freedom to express their skills and sounds, something he enjoys doing with DJ CJ an awesome DJ and technical athlete, in fact in his opinion one of the best there is. Who else can play 5-hour regular sets without mistake?????? It's all about the listening pleasure. It's about the music.
As Unitedmindz Dj Cj + Kalaish are pushing the boundaries in an otherwise sometimes creatively stale environment, developing an unprecedented teamwork and spontaneity unseen or heard between DJ and MC. Kalaish has performed at venues such as the Fridge in Brixton and regualy at The Freedom events hosted by Nastybeatz. If kalaish can find his way out of his studio, 2007 will see the release of his new production projects to compliment the completed Unitedmindz web site. BIG UP 1 + all and to the Govenor DJ Overload

Hiya K, cheers matey... was an absolute pleasure to have you MCing at our little soiree and so wicked to see you guys getting down to, well, everything really! We're already planning for 08 so we hope you can join us again!!
Would def be cool to hook up for some drumming before then...in fact, we're looking at setting up a drum group in the not too distant so maybe a few guest appearances can be arranged?
Hey K... thanks for dropping by! Hopefully TerraAngel's sent you the wedding invite by now but if not, let us have your email address and we'll fire one through 4 ya!
Not quite sure how the running order's going to go as we've just hooked up with another DnB producer from London and she's offered her services too... reckon it could turn into one big back2back2back2back mash up in the end... ah well!
Hey Kalaish! Been a very long time! Hows things with you? Not seen the Colchester ad, maybe its something eBay are selling or sumthing :) Hope you're cool mate, BIG UP to yourself also! Speak soon!
Big up Kalaish... cheers for the discs, been blaring those futhamukkas out to the neighbours ever since! Jus' waiting on Nicky Freedom and then we shall see what we shall see...
Ez Kalaish wickede woo bigs up everytime,It was u and CJ that attracked me to ukbassradio and me still here listening weekly,super top feb 07 studio session mix ,it anit left my mp3.
Reminisce- An ode to a intimate relationship that I had with an ex.. Beat done by RJD2. This track is deep..just my emotions on that one.
Ghetto Story-The Chad Wildman Remix...Oh! This remix goes hard in the yard son! I like Chad's version better because there is not an Alicia keys verse (making the track all soft..lol) and the break down in the middle.."Raghhhar! Raghhhar!" that shit gets the club poppin for sure. If you dub/dnb dj to you need to grab it!
Intanational Style-This is a Dope Ammo/Benny Page remix track that I ripped on the DNB tip. No ragga-vocals just an H-Town MC spittin...
Sup Kalaish... good to hear from you! Hope all is funktastically groovy with you? Still no word from the Cellar i'm afraid but there's a whole heap of festies to be bombarding with a demo package... not to mention a certain wedding reception that needs representation!
yoo man how are ya doin? hope the unitedmindz are doin kool :) any news on the production front? expectin u two to get big soon for defo - lookin forward to sum creative collaboration in the future :) biiiiiig ups
