Remaining August Beat Cypher 06 Lineup!

What up people, thanks to everyone who tuned into the live stream last night, we've got a new homework dropping later today and a full post about beat cypher 06, but just to hold you down till let me drop the names of the remaining producers for beat 06!.

Joining FS GREEN will be fellow Amsterdam producer SIR OJ, they've both collabed in the past dropping the State Beat Tapes together and their dope "Remixing" project. OJ is part of the dope collective Slumgullion who also had a project out a while back called Disko; dudes crazy with the beats and should make the beat cypher even more ill (as if it wasnt already!!!).

Finally, some Birminigham support in the form of URBAN MONK. Monk's put in time behind the boards producing for the likes of MD7, MALIK, ESTELLE, AKALA and more; no stranger to the beat cyphers he's turned out many a open beats session and will no doubt have bangers to drop!.

Also the PA's for beat cypher 6 will come from SEROCEE & J-LEEN, CHIMA ANYA and Eatgood records own TAHARKA!!, gonna be one hell of a night!!.

So yeahhhh there it is, start spreading the word!, facebook events, myspace spammage and all that good stuff will commence from now!!.

tell a friend to tell a friend!!.

LouisDen BeatCypher 06 - Aug 13th

Keeping it moving (one month on, one month off) for you hungry beat heads!! BEAT CYPHER 06 is coming in AUGUST!!, the date is Aug 13th (yes a Thursday, thats beat cypher day!) as #5 was a one off to allow for a bigger spot we're back at the Sunflower Lounge (see Beat Cypher 04 with Myke / Sivey / IQ / Ranx, Msi / Asaviour etc) so yeah it'll be cosy but sick vibes as always, We'll slowly leak the names of the performers this time round (have some fun with it) but I think we've got a dope mix again and it'll be another memorable night once again!. Alright SO.....on the boards so far we'll be having.

Producer, DJ and remixer from Amsterdam FS GREEN, ripping up the underground out there and making waves everywhere FS will be joining the line up at Beat cypher 06, yeahhh we international now!! following on from Oddisee at Cypher05, Louis Den has the honor of being the first UK gig FS will be blessing BANNG!

Waiting in the wings since day dot we've got LDBB resident SHEEEEEEEARS!..producer/DJ/record collector and mojhito aficionado Shears has been killin LDBB since the homeworks its a shame we couldn't have put dude on earlier (our list of fam is just that big) but he's been waiting patiently and now its time!!, im hoping he'll have a huge stash of new crack rocks to play us!.

So yeah 2 producers in and the bill is already super sick (who else is waiting!??!...) we'll leak perfomers/producers before the end of next week then start hittin you over the head with flyers!.



oh and before I bounce...those wondering about the couple week hiatus!!.

New Homeworks
Alright so you would have noticed that as we've been busy the homeworks has suffered so once again theres a few videos waiting to appear and a new challenge could do with getting set..well the good news is you dont have to wait much longer, we'll probably have a run of a couple more homeworks before the league is full swing and use this time to generate sign ups from the myspace / other networks.


So yeah we're still here!! as you can see theres lots going on!....stay tuned!!
