After breaking all previous box office records for a Friday club night at the Carling Academy Oxford, Free Range bring to you another cutting edge line up exploring the depths of Grime, Dubstep, Drum & Bass and Hip Hop. Whilst other club nights bring you the same generic line ups and brands found city to city, Free Range offers something truly refreshing to the people – for Oxford, with Oxford, from Oxford residents.
FRIDAY 13th FEBRUARY @ O2 ACADEMY OXFORD
CHASE & STATUS (RAM Records)
feat. KANO & TAKURA performing Against All Odds
Having taken the Drum and Bass and now the Dubstep scene by storm, Chase and Status have reached the top of these UK underground genres. Chase and Status’ debut album more than a lot has come 20th in the UK dance charts just behind acts such as Portishead and Hot Chip. Chase and Status will be doing a one off special apperence with UK Grime godfather, Kano performing his new single with the duo ‘Against all odds’..
Kano has been nominated for 4 MOBO awards and has won the title of best newcomer. His debut album ‘Home Sweet Home’ was a great critical success, well reviewed across the British press, most notably in The Independent and The Observer, two of the UK’s major newspapers. Many artists in the UK and in America have expressed positive views of the album, including Busta Rhymes, Nas, RZA, Jay-Z, Andre 3000 and Chuck D of Public Enemy.
BEARDYMAN & JFB (Battlejam)
UK Beatbox champion vs UK DMC champion
What do you get when you cross the best beatboxer in the UK with the best DJ? The answer is ‘Battle Jam’. A fast paced improvised battle between mouth and fingers. With a bit of crowd sampling, vj’ing, fish fighting and lots of general crazyness thrown in for good measure.
N-TYPE (Rinse FM)
Having recently been awarded the title of best DJ at the Dubstep awards, N-Type has been in the highest demand smashing clubs from London to Tokyo. Massively respected by all DJs from Electro to Hip Hop, his consistency, tune selection, technical abillity and crowd interaction has led to a lot of clubbers to call him the ‘ANDY C’ of Dubstep.
CHARRIS & B-ILL (Oxfords FM107.9)
Free Range founder Charris and rising star B-ill are two of Oxford’s finest resident DJs. B-ill has shot up to stardom from our DJ competition and has never looked back since. He is a true example that if you have what it takes then there is an opportunity for you at Free Range.
