BLACK MILK & ELZHI - LIVE

(SLUM VILLAGE / DETROIT / ON STAGE 9pm)

The young producer already has credits to his name including producing Slum Village, Elzhi, Genius/GZA, Guilty Simpson, Busta Rhymes and many more. Plus making his own very distinctive mark with his own joints ‘Sound of the City', ‘Popular Demand' and the all-new ‘Tronic'.

His new album ‘Tronic' shows that he has grown tremendously as a producer, as he's adopted more live instrumentation and is introducing more complex arrangements than his previous sample-heavy work. He also shows marked improvement as an emcee, and carries most of the album himself with only 3 guest verses on the entire album (from emcee royalty Pharoahe Monch, Royce Da 5'9", and Sean Price). Not even two years removed from his breakthrough release, Black Milk proves he is HOT!

Manchester support: MR THING (EXTENDED PLAYERS), BROKE N ENGLISH (LIVE!!)

ILLUM SPHERE - LIVE

(FAT CITY / HOYA HOYA)

Illum Sphere are creating their own wave of bedlam. Born in Manchester's striving music scene they could be likened to the work of Martyn and Samiyam. Indeed the debut LP (Fat City) is officially being launched at LA's Low End Theory alongside Gas Lamp Killer, Samiyam and Flying Lotus. Watch out. Big sound, big bass.

London Support: JA VYBZ (MOSCOW), SI ARMSTRONG (F&F CREW)
