SCRATCH PRESENT : DJ WOODY TURNTABLE IN TECHNICOLOUR !! SATURDAY 26TH JUNE @ THE BIG CHILL HOUSE!!

SCRATCH Present: DJ WOODY'S TURNTABLES IN TECHNICOLOR FULL LIVE AV ON 2 BIG SCREENS

Scratch are proud to announce their special guest as DJ Woody with his awesome AV set

Back in March Woody teamed up with Scratch for the Brits snowboarding event where riders experienced for the first time Woody's newly designed AV set, a DJ set with live videos being scratched and mixed, videos that have actually been created by the very talented Woody himself!

The night in Switzerland was so successful that Scratch felt it necessary to invite Woody back so that the Big Chill House in London could also witness his amazing show. Woody is not only creative with his video, for those that aren't already aware, he is also a former ITF World DJ champion. So combine the visual experience with the audio experience and you have a match made in DJ heaven!

AV is nothing new to Woody infact audio and visuals have been a life long obsession.

Art teachers pet, at school he was that kid who could draw. Along came hip hop culture and music and by the end of school he was that kid who could scratch.

In another life Woody worked fulltime as a graphic designer for Britian’s largest independent TV station (Granada- ITV), a couple of World DJ titles later Woody becomes a fulltime DJ.

Today aided by cutting edge technology these 2 obsessions are finally allowed to co-exist in one creative outlet, enter Turntables In Technicolor.

An all new eye-popping, crowd-rocking AV DJ show designed to blow your mind and move your behind!

Utilizing his televisual design knowledge to create innovative custom visuals for the mix, Woody brings a unique insight and unrivaled DJ skills to the AV scene.

THIS SATURDAY 5TH JUNE @ RICH MIX (BETHNAL GREEN) - AFRIKOKOA LP SHOWCASE - Featuring a live preview of songs from RICHY PITCH and M3NSA's LPs

AFRI-KOKOA presents the first live preview of Richy Pitch's Ghanaian Album Ye Fre Mi Richy Pitch (BBE Records) plus live performances from M3NSA’s forthcoming LP No.1 Mango St.

This event will be the first time that anyone will be able to see exclusive live performances and sneak previews from Richy’s new LP as well as to hear exclusive tracks and mixes live.

Producer and DJ, Richy Pitch moved from UK to Ghana, West Africa and took on the challenge to record an LP which drew on his many musical experiences during his stay. His goal was to record with local stars and talent and fuse the classic sound of Ghanaian music with his own production skills that he’d already developed in London.

Two years later and back to London, Richy knocked on BBE Records’ door to deliver Ye Fre Mi Richy Pitch. (They call me Richy Pitch in Twi) His creation gives the listener an excellent taste of the many different styles of Ghanaian and West African music all combined with a fresh production twist.

It features the cream of Ghanaian music talent including MOBO and MTV Africa winner Samini, Reggie Rockstone, known as the Godfather of Hiplife and talented MC's such as Wanlov the Kubolor, M3NSA and M.anifest, plus many other inspiring Ghanaian artists.

The live performance at Rich Mix will be led by Ghanaian MC, producer and singer extraordinaire M3NSA with talented singer Ndidi plus live beats and musicians also exclusively playing tracks from M3NSA’s excellent forthcoming LP No.1 Mango Street.

M3NSA is a very versatile and eclectic musician, named as one of BBC’s Top 50 Ghanaians, he has been the recipient of multiple accolades (KORA Awards, Ghana Music Awards and M-Net’s Channel O) and re-energising the music scene with his unique fusion of true school hip hop and West African home-grown hip–life.

M3NSA has the unique ability to fuse true school hip-hop with afrobeat and palmwine highlife. Being a multi faceted talent; singer/ songwriter/producer – he refuses to be pidgeon-holed and his witty and versatile lyrics mean he has created a very fresh and original sound.

His versatility is what makes him one of the most sought after artists today and is what inspired one of London's most respected DJ/Producers, Richy Pitch to recruit and feature M3NSA on 6 songs on his new LP ‘Ye Fre Mi Richy Pitch’
