Some exciting news for you all: Boston native Slaine headlines this OTU Live show with his début solo performance in the UK. Slaine became internationally acclaimed for his work as a member of the La Coka Nostra collection, and having managed to hold his own alongside veterans Everlast and ILL Bill, Slaine earned himself a solid fan base and his talent grew exponentially under the limelight. After taking timeout to secure his position as the premier ‘Boston tough guy’ in movies, starring in Gone Baby Gone and The Town, Slaine returned to music in 2011 by releasing the long-awaited A World With No Skies 2.0, and more recently the universally-praised State Of Grace mixtape with Statik Selektah.
Representing Philadelphia supergroup Army of the Pharaohs is Reef the Lost Cauze, who like Slaine will be joined live onstage by DJ Illegal- one half of Europe’s most talented production team, Snowgoons. With Reef and Snowgoons having recently teamed up to produce one of the 2011’s most anticipated albums in Your Favourite MC, this event will give UK fans the chance to see the masterpiece performed live, alongside the biggest tracks from Reef, Army Of The Pharaohs, and the Snowgoons’ considerable and critically-adored back catalogues.
In a night of diverse collaborations, the support acts will be representative of London’s own musical diversity. Multi-talented and viewed as one of London’s best event hosts, Stig of the Dump will be gracing the stage with his trademark brand of humour, and a selection of his most exciting songs. In charge of the records for the night is DJ Snuff, a veteran of the hip-hop scene, who will also be unveiling his new collective: Caxton Press.
Tickets are available RIGHT NOW. The whole OTU team will be there, don’t miss your chance to be too and purchase your tickets by clicking here.

A couple of us here at OTU are longtime and frequent users of the Last.fm service, and it’s interesting to see this next step in their progression, a very smart one given all of the great data they have at their disposal.
Last.fm announces CocknBullKid as the headline act for the first monthly ‘Last.fm Presents’ gigs. The monthly flagship music events, taking place in London on the first Friday of every month, will be curated by Last.fm data and powered by listeners. The first gig will be held at The Garage, London, on Friday 7th October 2011. The events will include a range of live acts selected according to the popularity of listener’s scrobbles and the Last.fm Hype Charts – providing a line-up of the most popular and hottest up and coming artists.
When asked about her appearance at the primary Live Friday gig CocknBullKid said “All I’m saying is that there’ll be a story – a cradle to the grave journey. And it will be very interactive. There may even be vogueing.”

Since launching, Supa Dupa Fly have had 3 literally road-blocked nights at The Jazz Café by bringing back the golden days of 90′s Hip-hop and R&B. Named after Missy’s first Album (but you knew that), the music is ONLY 90s Hip-Hop and R&B, so expect to hear the best of Dre, Snoop, Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Tribe and lots more good stuff around live sets from Random Impulse and Delusionists. This will also be the Official After Party for the DMC World Dj Championships London Heat. If that’s not enough, Selected Pints & Vodka mixers are just £2.20 so we’re even doing 90s prices on the drinks! Oh, and Time Out recommend it too!
The DMC event from 7pm will feature DMC World Champion DJ Ligone from France showcasing and judging and DMC’s host INJA performing debut cuts from his long awaited solo album ‘Inja:Maker’. DMC World Champion 89 – Cutmaster Swift will also be spinning.

You may have seen us preview these events and wonder if they’re worth going to: Wonder no more, as we checked out their last event, and can confirm they warrant checking out.
Arriving to a buzzing, somewhat extensive queue (which let us know we were probably in for something good!), it turned out the Jazz Café bouncers were not used to dealing with such an enormous turnout. Confusion ensued, but thankfully everything was settled! Making our way to the OTU table (shouts to Shaun for hooking us up), we soaked in the atmosphere provided by an energetic set from Rizzle Kicks, and found ourselves entertained whilst waiting in the surprisingly short bar queues. The classic hip-hop started flowing shortly afterwards, and it’s fair to say we were delighted to hear some of hip-hop’s greatest ever tracks being played one after the other, from Big Poppa, Do For Love, 93 till’ Infinity to Doo Wop and more. We were even treated to a few from the 2000′s, which might not stick with the advertised theme, but made for a welcome rule break with crowd-pleasers such as Dirt Off Your Shoulder. All in all a great night, and we’d highly recommend the next Supa Dupa Fly event on Saturday 4th June: you can find out more details by clicking right here.

Do you remember when you were growing up, and you first heard Biggie or Tupac? Did you used to listen to the Pure Swing Albums? Remember when you first went out to some dodgy club with too much make-up or hair gel with fake ID to get down to your fave jams? It was the late 90’s, and if you were like us, you we’re listening to Hiphop and R&B!
Supa Dupa Fly will be bringing back those times! Named after Missy’s first Album (but you knew that), the music is ONLY 90’s Hip-Hop and R&B, so expect to hear Dr Dre, Snoop Dog, KRS One, Wu-Tang, Nas, Bigge, Tupac, A Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, LL Cool J and all your fav cheesy 90’s R&B joints from R Kelly, Whitehead Brothers, Montell Jordan, Destiny’s Child, Jodeci and lots more!

We’ve got another treat for you, this time in the form of a giveaway.
On Saturday December 5th, Malibu are hosting their Mish Mash extravaganza at Club W in Wandsworth, London. MC Normski will be hosting the night, with a stellar line up of DJ’s and MC’s including Example and Radio 1 DJ Jaguar Skills.
Malibu Mish Mash combines the sounds and party style of the Caribbean with British dance music, to mash up top tunes with a unique twist for what promises to be a rather entertaining night. The crew from Kiss (the TV channel, not the rock band…) will be on hand to film the whole thing too, which could give those of you who are fame-hungry a quick shot at being on TV.
Want 2 free tickets? Yeah you do. No funny business, just send an email to me with ‘Mish Mash’ in the title, and I’ll pick someone out at random to go along to what should be a top night. Easy enough.
Malibu Rum, supporting their Mish Mash Club W extravaganza on December 5th featuring Example and Jaguar Skills
