INTRODUCING: MISTAJAM PRESENTS SPEAKERBOX
SPEAKERBOX is the chance for MistaJam to take a host of first-rate cutting edge talent in the form of deejays, producers, artists and performers on the road with him; all of whom he has been championing across his radio shows in recent months. A 14 date tour spanning the country will kick off in May and will see Jam overtaking festivals and clubs as well as Radio 1’s flagship Weekender. For one special show (on May 30th) MistaJam will also team up with the charity Love Music, Hate Racism.
Something that sets MistaJam apart from his peers is his diversity. He is the figurehead of the concept that the barriers between musical genres are being broken down: Dance producers are working with Urban artists. Drum & Bass heads are making Dubstep. R&B singers are singing over House tracks. Indie bands are embracing keyboards and breakbeats over guitars and amplifiers. Jamaican Dancehall riddim builders are making UK Funky. Armand Van Helden, Calvin Harris and The Arctic Monkeys are making music with Dizzee Rascal. Grime artists Wiley, Tinchy Stryder and Kano are riding high in the national charts with electro records. MistaJam Presents Speakerbox is here to represent that in a club setting. Bringing it back to the ethos of good music is good music regardless of where it came from.
MistaJam rocks every Saturday night into Sunday morning (3am-5am) on Radio 1 while every weeknight from 7-10pm he is in charge on 1Xtra with a show dubbed the ‘Key To The Underground’.
MistaJam’s SPEAKERBOX is going to be one hell of a party! Keep locked to SpeakerBoxTour.com for the most up to date info, tour blogs, photos and more.

GIGGS FT THE STREETS **EXCLUSIVE**
Last night my 1Xtra show was taken over by Mike Skinner aka The Streets. He brought the rest of his Beat Stevie family (Ted Mayhem & Magic Mike Millrain) and we had a great time: some laughs, some big tunes, we talked the twitter revolution, played the last ever skini-mix and a span a load of exclusives. All in all, a pretty hosh show. You can check the entire thing on the iPlayer here but we have to highlight the huge exclusive that Mike brought us:
Yes, Mike has produced a track for the ardest pon road Giggs and it got it’s world premiere on the show. Giggs ft The Streets “Slow Songs”
Here’s Mike talking about how the track came together:

This is by far my favourite Giggs track. What do you think?
LA ROUX vs BEARDYMAN
Ever wondered what La Roux’s In For The Kill (Skream’s Lets Get Ravey Remix) would sound like if it were sung by someone who was, lets say, incapacitated due to a chemical substance?
Don’t watch with any form of liquid in your mouth unless your computer is waterproof.
TAKURA’S STAGE DIVE
So there I was with Annie Mac, Grimmy, Sara Cox, Takura (Chase & Status’ guest vocalist…get to know!) & MissusJam at the side of the outdoor stage while Chase & Status were absolutely killing it with their set at Radio 1′s Big Weekend in Swindon and the urge takes me to film the crowd on my phone who are going BONKERS to Chase & Status’ “Pieces” when Takura decides this is his chance to stage dive:

PRO GREEN – HARD NIGHT OUT (VIDEO)
Formerly signed to The Streets, my boy Professor Green has just finished a very unique and different video for his first single ‘Hard Night Out’. Alongside hypeman and producer Core is Adam Deacon on the drums and a host of characters acting really hard. He didn’t call me to appear in the video as I couldn’t apparently act ‘hard enough’!
Hard Night Out is out on July 6th 2009 – watch out for a remix from Skream!
BRING IT BACK!
Shouts to the Play Ents crew – they’ve got another one with this:
Love this – takes the UK Funky skanking concept and flips it on it’s head. The Bogle & The Running man is ME!! Shouts to Lady Lukanz on the spot!
