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
U can catch DJ CJ + Kalaish on ~~~~~ www.UKBassRadio.co.uk on Friday nights 9pm- late ~~~~~ www.destroyer.net on a Thursday 8-9pm ~~~~~

Come check out my newest DrumnBass tune "The King Is Back" recently added to the player. It features a collection of samples from various Michael Jackson songs and is sort of my little tribute to him from a dnb standpoint. If you're a fan you'll def enjoy this track. Leave some love if you like what you hear, it's always appreciated. Cheers!

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!
