MAK 10
(NASTY CREW / FUNKY FUSION)
Mak 10 plays UK funky like he invented it. An original grime pioneer, he made his name in the Nasty Crew alongside people like Dizzee, Kano, Ghetto, D Double, Jammer, Skepta, Durrty Goodz and of course Marcus Nasty himself. His September 2008 Rinse.fm cameo appearance alongside Marcus still ranks as the defining showcase of the funky sound to date. A Bristol appearance last November had the city on lock - we had to bring him back to play on the Funktion One rig. This set is gonna blow your head off.
COOLY G
(HYPERDUB / PRODUCERS HOUSE)
When an artist gets signed to Kode 9's Hyperdub label, the world stands up and takes notice. But when a UK FUNKY artist gets signed to Hyperdub, the world's jaw hits the deck. Something groundbreaking has happened here, and Cooly G deserves every bit of credit she's getting right about now. Pushing a deep, dark, broken strain of funky house, nobody is catching her at the moment. Go check her MySpace and you'll see what we mean.
BRACKLES
(APPLEPIPS / POLLEN)
Another artist set to blow in 2009 is Brackles. Ask FACT magazine: "With a sound a million miles away from the blokey, sludgy going rate of dubstep, this kid effortlessly incorporates funky, rolling grime, vintage 2-step and bassline into his impossibly energetic, elastic sets." FACT even name him as their favourite DJ in the world right now. It's a massive, but not unjust statement. We REALLY can't wait for this.
THINKING
(DUBSTEP FORUM / CHEMICAL RECORDS)
Repping Bristol hard on this lineup is bigboy selector Thinking. A proper industry head, he's Chemical Records' dubstep buyer, IDJ magazine's dubstep reviewer and part of the team that runs Dubstep Forum. But he doesn't just play dubstep, as recent sets have proved. Long lost dark 2-step beats smashing headfirst into the riffs and subs of UK funky is something really fresh. Wow.
EFA
(POLLEN)
SNUGFELIX & FURESSHU
(SEASONFIVE)
JAMBO & SHANDY
(FREEJIVE / CRAZYLEGS)
hosted by C STRIKE Z
(CENTRAL SPILLZ / CRAZYLEGS)
We've pulled together a whole bunch of people right from the top of our wish list for this party. It's gonna sound SO fresh in there on that system. Plus the LAB's late license will be fully in place by this date, so we'll be really testing your stamina
