FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16th @ NOTTING HILL ARTS CLUB - SCRATCH PRESENTS: B-SIDE ft JEHST FULL LIVE BAND + FREE FLEXI DISKS !!

https://www.facebook.com/events/370794073005344/

B-SIDE has been jam packed with opened minded up for it party people for the last 3 months and our next live session is set to not disappoint.

An iconic name synonomous with multi-layered lyricism, liquid flows and blunted beats, Jehst is one of the few seminal figures credited with spearheading a movement of artists who would kick open the doors for homegrown Hip Hop to become as vibrant & healthy as it is today

Far from just a local hero, Jehst is a name known globally with an influence reaching far an

d wide from America's underground to Australia and back again. NME have named him a "cult hero", Mike Skinner (The Streets) described him as "fantastic" in his recent autobiography and even 'rapper's rapper' Pharoahe Monch has praised Jehst's abilities, telling The Cut "Dope, dope. I like his pocket... where his rhymes fall at."

With a captivating stage presence to match his studio persona, Jehst 's reputation on the live circuit has seen him billed alongside some truly iconic artists. This Autumn alone sees him sharing stages with DOOM, Public Enemy and Lord Finesse! So it's safe to say that the B-Side audience are in for a treat when he hits the stage with his live band to showcase new material as well bringing a live twist to some of his well known underground classics.

With Micall Parknsun (YNR) on the mic and the MPC, Jazz T (Boot Records / ITF champ) on turntables, Louis Slipperz (Task Force / Owiny Segoma Band) on bass, the sultry Fae Simon on backing vocals & time-changing magician Kwake (Speakers Corner Quartet) on drums, Jehst's live band are a force to be reckoned with.

And don't forget the JEHST B-SIDE flexi-disc FREE give away to the first 100 people through the door. Get down early to pick up November's super exclusive edition #fresh fruit

SCRATCH PRESENT : DJ MR THING & FIRST RATE, HOST MC, JEHST (YNR PRODUCTIONS), & SPIN DOCTOR.

Scratch are proud to announce their next special guests as Mr Thing and First Rate with host MC, Jehst.

Scratch are super proud to announce their next special guests as the incredible turntable party monsters Mr Thing and First Rate with host MC, the lyrically intelligent Jehst.

This event is a particularly exciting for two reasons. Firstly our guests DJ Mr Thing and First Rate come as a pair and will therefore include a very rare 4 turntable performance from two of the UK's finest turntablists.

Both were of course part of the Scratch Perverts back in 1999 when as a foursome (with Tony Vegas and Prime Cuts) they won the DMC World Team Championships with their legendary winning performance in New York.

The second reason this night is special is DJ Mr Thing and First Rate were one of the first DJ guests to perform at Scratch all the way back in the summer of 1996 at what used to be known as the Cross Bar (now the Big Chill House).

Since then, the two have been very much part of the Scratch family on regular occasions, performing at most of the Scratch nights both in the UK and abroad at events such as the MTV Cannes Film Festival and Snowbombing.

So expect to see some absolute magic on the decks from two very special friends of Scratch.

Hosting alongside Mr Thing and First Rate we have another UK Hip Hop stalwart, Jehst. The man who gave us classic cuts such as the critically acclaimed "High Plains Drifter" EP and the man behind the excellent YNR productions record label will be there to bless the mic and keep the crowd very happy!

Alongside our residents Matt Smooth, Richy Pitch, Lyley and Tomski we also welcome Doctors Orders resident DJ, Spin Doctor and as well as the turbo charged B-boy and B-girl battles and free entry before 12 (yes you haven't read that wrong) it guarantees to be an amazing night!
