KELAKOVSKI we're back!.
This time round we're bringing you the usual homegrown talent from Birmingham in the form of
URBAN MONK, an appearence from Louis Den Family...

FS GREEN and
SIR OJ, Louis Den Beat Cypher has the sole intention of bringing you the hottest production talents from all over home and across the map live in Birmingham to provide you with bangin beats straight from the lab and inspire all beat heads with fresh new sounds!.
We've got the usual
OPEN BEAT BATTLE (bring a beat cd, sign up, get your name drawn and battle the other producers for louisden prizes),
OPEN BEATS (bring a beat cd and play your material to the crowd) and
DJ CRO spinning hiphop treats, breaks/instrumentals for you good people.
ON THE BOARDSProducer, 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!. FS has just dropped the dope free release
ROOKIE SEASON which is a round up of his various remixes, productions and beats since he started out in the game in 2004, FS is one of the new school producers you need to be taking notice of!
Louis Den OG, record collector DJ; heavyweight producer
SHEARS, hailing from Bristol Shears has laid down production work for
POISONUS POETS,
DUBBLEDGE,
GTA and a recent smash remix of "Ultimate Triumph of the Little Guy" from
SONNYJIM (which has received airplay from
DJ Sarah Love, Mr Lawson and more!). Shears has been waiting in the wings to get in on the beat cypher action and rightly so as he's been reppin with out homework challenges from way back in late 2007 when we first started!...he knows the deal so expect nothing but bangers from him!.
Also from Amsterdam we've got producer SIR OJ, he got his break a couple years back by landing a track on the Rush Hour
"Beat Dimensions Vol 1" CD, since then he's dropped various production work for various artists from the Netherlands
Jiggy Djé,
Turk,
Spacekees,
Brainpower,
GMB,
Big Boy Caprice and more. We're all about connecting with like minds at Louis Den so it only made sense getting OJ here to bless Louis Den too!.
Finally reppin for Brum we've got
URBAN MONK, vet on the Birmingham circuit he's laid down production for the likes of
ESTELLE,
AKALA,
MOORISH DELTA 7,
MALIK and more. Monk is no stranger to the Beat Cypher having dropped beats in the open beats round since we started last year!; its time for Monk's shot at the showcase now with his big brand of beats, get ready!!.
ON THE MICPerforming at Beat Cypher 06 we've got the usual mix of dope underground talent performing their material adjusting it off the top to fit the soundscape provided by the nights producers.
SEROCEE & J-LEENFirst seen at Beat Cypher 02, Serocee and Leen killed it with an improv set; originally set to perform just the one track (to fall in line with the CrateEscape crate002 launch "Serocee - Youll never find") Serocee and Leen took the mic for an extended set filling in for unforunately absent Verb T. Expect some ill rhymes and insane off the top skills from these 2 skilled emcees.
CHIMA ANYAAlso from the Oxford rhyme duo GTA, Chima is currently tearing up the scene as a soloist with his upcoming album and lead single "New Day" which features former Beat Cypher guest Soweto Kinch. A keen beat cypher supporter Chima knows exactly what needs to be done to bring the right vibes to louisden he'll no doubt bring the noise.
TAHARKAThe Ambassador of
EAT GOOD RECORDS, Taharka is a vet on the Brum circuit and one of the founders of EAT GOOD....crazy as Louis Den is all linked in this and he's the only resident EATGOOD performer yet to tear up a set!!, this is chance!; having recently performed up and down the country during festival season and a gig overseas in Austria. T will be getting the crowd hype with his own blend of party vibes and ill rhymes.
BUCKS FIZZ BEAT BATTLEANDDDDD following on from last time the totally pimped out extravagant
BUCKS FIZZ BEAT BATTLE which was won by
JAISU, we've got the got head to head with the other battle entrants for
