Boxcon - International Beatbox Convention Live Review by Craig Montana


Straight outta Germany beat boxer Eliot rocked the crowd with the help of Inja (Delegates Of Culture). Inja (a fresh MC out of the ends that are Cambridge) spat the illest and cleanest freestyle I've heard in a while. Any 'roadman' can come in and spit profanities over a beat but few can freestyle without using the F & S words…nice touch Ininge!

One of the highlights of the event was the collaboration between renowned Beatboxer Shlomo (Foreign Beggars) and the dub master Mad Professor. Shlomo, the Southbank Center's artist in residence, has done Grammy-nominated work with Bjork and is known all over the shop as being at the top of his field. Mad Professor is known for his remixes of Massive Attack, Jamiroquai, and The Orb. The pair combined their talents in a one off show using live mixing, looping and improvisation.

The grand finale of the Beatbox convention were the performances from some of the best Beatboxing artists in the world. Performers came from Japan, UK, Switzerland, and the US, mixing styles and genres of music to create an amazing celebration of Beatboxing. The concert also featured a performance from all female Beatboxing crew The Boxettes. A personal highlight for me was seeing Pete Box for the first time. I have heard about this guy through the normal mediums, Myspace bullitens, facbook etc, but was really impressed with his performance. Check him out: PeteBox Video @ Smirnoff Electric cabaret 2008

All in all a good cheap day out for the whole family to enjoy not just the teenage hip hop fanatic!
