We like Dubbledge here. His hook ups with Parky were dope and the Don’t Interrupt track on the ukhh.com CD was awesome. But the Watford based artist has put together his own mix CD and it is chocka with splendid offerings.
On Wednesday 12th July hundreds of music fans will descend upon Cargo nightclub in London to witness a competition like no other: music being made solely with the mouth. Eight of the country’s finest human beatboxers will fight it out to become the National Champion, and to represent the UK at the World Championships in Tokyo this Winter.
Beatboxing is one of the few Hip Hop elements that is still relatively untapped by the mainstream, but things may be changing as this elements popularity rises. Seeing people like Kela or Rahzel can blow you away. Dates for the first four heats of the 2006 UK Beatbox Championships have been announced:
The Foreign Beggars have to be one of the most universally respected crews out there at the moment. Their human beatboxer Shlomo also has to be one of the best on these shores at what he does. Recently he enthralled a live TV audience with a tremendous display of what an accomplished human beatboxer can acheive with just their vocal chords and a mic.
Ok, well its more like Foreign Beggar, as human beatbox genius Shlomo from Foreign Beggars plays live on the BBC’s flagship music programme ‘Later with Jools Holland’ TONIGHT, Friday November 18th!!!!. Shlomo will be performing a 5 minute beatbox showcase alongside other guests including Sean Paul, Texas, Babyshambles, Salif Keita, Peter Kay and Teddy Thompson.
