BIG N BASHY feat Jammer & DJ Magic - 13 March 2010
Two special guest DJs visit the Bongo HQ tonight at Big N Bashy, one the hottest nights to hit Edinburgh’s Saturday night club scene in recent years, which has already gained a steady and loyal following amongst Edinburgh’s clubbers for its up-to-the-minute, bass-heavy sounds.
... JAMMER ... [Big Dada / Boy Better Know / Jahmek the World]
One of the true originals of the grime scene - both as an MC and a producer - Jammer nearly signed with the Big Dada records label two years ago. After a series of acclaimed mixtapes [the 'Are You Dumb' series], Jammer's first full album is scheduled for May 2010, following the massive club hit single, "Party Animal".
Part of the infamous Boy Better Know crew featuring Skepta, JME, Wiley, Shortie, Frisco alongside DJ Maximum, Boy Better Know have been instrumental in bringing back the party vibes and energy back to the grime scene with recent release 'Too Many Man' alongside recent offering 'Going In'.
The creator of the 'Lord Of The Mics' series of grime dvds, Jammer paved the way for a million copycats biting the battle dvd format of two mcs going head head with set rounds and launched the careers of countless MCs.
Probably the loudest man in grime, Jammer has also been one of the scene's most subtle producers since the start.
For someone so outgoing on the mic, he's also discreet about his business - while half the grime scene seems obsessed with making chart-friendly electro [for both good and bad], there's been very few mentions of the excellent funky productions Jammer's been quietley making. But of course, Jammer's most memorable when he's outlandish, and his recent soca-heavy, Notting Hill Carnival-friendly single with Badness and Silverlink, 'The Message is Love', was last summer's equivalent of 'Murkle Man' or Skepta's 'Stageshow' Riddim"
Known as one of the most energetic and fun grime artists to grace the stage with a stage presence and crazy energy many would give their right eye for this ... Big n Bashy is gonnna be BIG !!!

DJ MAGIC [No Hats No Hoods / Dirty Canvas]
DJ Magic is resident DJ at London's only regular grime night Dirty Canvas in Camden and can be heard on React FM playing the hottest grime in town. He's also a founder of one of the only grime record labels to actually be releasing vinyl in this age: No Hats No Hoods [a name which refers to the door policy of some night clubs], which has released future classics by well known artists in the scene as well as up and coming stars.
One of Magic's latest releases being his own mix CD: No Hats No Hoods Volume One, a CD that includes exclusive tracks and older label classics from P Money, Tempa T, Jammer, Ruff Sqwad, Skepta and Lee Brasco shows his standing within the grime scene in the amount of one away dubs he has on the CD.
Responsible for signing 2008/2009s' biggest grime single: Tempa T's next Hype, DJ Magic knows how to rock a crowd as last years appearance with Tempa T proved when he tore the roof off the Bongo club in early 2008, you have been warned !
