UK Beatbox Championships

Team Final Battle Ill Bits (Hobbit & Marv Ill) vs Raw Elements and Minamus ©

On Saturday 22 June, HumanBeatbox.com host the 2013 UK Beatbox Championships at Brixton Jamm, presenting the UK’s premier Beatbox talent under one roof.

With previous winners including internationally renowned Beardyman (who won on two occasions), this annual vocal showdown, aims to find the finest beatboxers from all corners of the UK for what will be a jaw dropping day of eliminations and battles, as the entrants are reduced in numbers until new champions over four exciting categories are crowned as this years winners.

Although hip-hop in origin, the modern beatbox scene is much more dynamic, incorporating rock, dub-step, drum’n’bass, house and more.

The competition has 4 categories, Solo (open to men and women), Women, Teams (each team has 2 members) and Looping (single competitor with looping equipment). They will be judged by three legends of the scene in Bellatrix, THePETEBOX and Faya Braz, while none other than lyrical master, Stig Of The Dump will be the host of proceedings. With the reigning champions from 2012 back to retain their crown, plus another 50 artists preparing to do all they can to strip their titles from them, this Championships has all the makings of being the most exciting competition in their history, as well as setting an incredibly high standard across all categories and raising the bar for the future artists. In fact, reigning solo champ Ball-Zee is back to try and win the title for a third time, a feat that has never been achieved, not even by the aforementioned Beardyman.

Not your average club event but this is what makes events like this so exciting. It also starts at 12pm and runs through two sessions with the winners crowned just shy of 11pm. Tickets are available for the afternoon or evening sessions separately or combined, plus there is a after party of some class running through until 6am hosted by Battlejam (brainchild of Beardyman and DMC Champ JFB) and THTC featuring The Herbaliser, JFB, DJ Switch, Skiller and a sack load more of crazy turntablists and vocal masters!

Think and do something different for a change, this event will inspire and be packed with energy and great vibes, that is a guarantee. Be ready to be amazed with what some of these artists can do!
