Mixcloud and The Big Chill Presents...
The History of Hip Hop

The Big Chill Presents returns for its first event of 2011 launching a brand new monthly residency with Mixcloud - kicking things off with a very special Big Chill Presents event titled The History Of Hip-Hop.

Headed up by a very special guest DJ from Ninja Tune, Mixcloud has assembled a task-force of killer DJs to deliver past, present and future sets from one of the most important musical genres of the 20th Century!

Not giving too much away about our very special headliner, due to his impending album release, but this Latin Grammy Award-nominee, sometime radio presenter who spends his time between Berlin and New York, this is definitely going to be very, very big.

This event sees an assembly of formidable talent dropping sets from their favourite era of Hip Hop headed up by DJ MK (Kiss FM) who drops into deliver a 90’s Golden Era set, UK DMC winner (2004) and Fabric Resident DJ Blakey who drops ‘00’s Club Bangers, Rinse FM’s Alex Nut who represents the Nuskool with a Future Of Hip Hop set.

Keeping the pressure up Suspect Package’s CEO Disorda, one of the most important supporters of the scene who will lay down a full history of UK Hip Hop set from South London collective Breakin’ Bread deliver a 70’s B-Boy Breaks set and finally Chris Read (Substance) wraps things up with an 80’s Electro Funk set, add to this live break dancing from battle-winning crew Born To Rock and we’re set for a night of pure Hip-Hop gold.

For Room 2 we're delighted to welcome a top selection of DJs from some of our favourite London clubnights on Mixcloud.
