UK FUNKY JAM SESSION #1 – VIDEOS

This time last week, all roads led to the legendary Maida Vale Studios in West London for the first ever UK Funky Jam Session. We got an amazing band (The Dynamikz – thanks to Reggie Kerr) and some of the hottest names in UK Funky to come and perform their tracks. For some, it was their first time with a live band. For others, it was a chance to show how strong an artist they are.

Gracious Nappa Man K’s first time performing with a live band:

KIG Family’s “Head Shoulders Kneez & Toez” with that live band twist:

T2 – JAM SESSION

Last week on 1Xtra, my monthly live music session from the legendary Maida Vale studios came from Leeds’ bassline don T2 who took the chance to showcase some of his brand new material forthcoming on his own label ‘Powerhouse Records’.

He was joined by the UK legend who is Michelle Escoffery (who is also the featured vocalist on his current single “Come Over”) and future star H-Boogie.

I’ve been telling people for years about H Boogie ever since I saw her singing backup for older sister Estelle and now it seems she’s ready to step out as her own artist and I for one am very excited to hear what she comes up with. Right now though, it’s all about her two collabos with T2 – “On The Floor” and the track that you can download for free from the 1Xtra site “Better Off As Friends (La La La)”

Check out the video from the session:

TOR CESAY @ MAIDA VALE

Every month on my show we allow an artist to bless us with a live session direct from the legendary BBC Maida Vale studios. We call them The Jam Sessions and this month, the first lady of UK HipHop Tor smacked it with an acoustic 3 track set – our first of 2009. She absolutely smacked it – her voice sounds stronger than ever and her songs are tight.

You can listen back to the full session on the BBC iPlayer and it’s now available for you to watch:

Hold tight for a free downloadable track from the session coming soon to my BBC blog and make sure you go cop Tor’s new CD ‘Beatz International’ if you like what you hear.
