FRESH KILS



From behind the boards to the stage, there's not a spot of ground Fresh Kils' prolific career hasn't touched. And its not just hip hop. Its true, you'll see Saigon, Fabolous and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (ATCQ) grace his resume, but you'll also find the likes of Ron Sexsmith and The Buena Vista Social Club. His prowess on the MPC has seen him share the stage with many hip hop legends (Nas, De La Soul) as well as the best of the underground, winning over fans, and beat battle competitions, with his signature showmanship. The Toronto based Sound Battle Royale Champion with multiple JUNO nominations and high profile collaborations and performances, still hasn't reached his ceiling. With momentum and accolades growing each year, Fresh Kils is poised for a sound system takeover unlike any we've seen in a long time.



You've been warned....

CARPETFACE



CARPETFACE is a critically acclaimed international hiphop artist, producer and songwriter originally from London, who burst on to the Hiphop scene back in 2002 with his debut single Friday Night Sniper, receiving 6 months of MTV play resulting in fans tours and collabs all over the world. 13 years, 15 indie-releases and over 1100 international shows later, CARPETFACE is still going strong and now about to release a tonne of new matrerial through various labels over the coming months, having recently taken time off from solo rap tours to have a child and work recording on his 2nd solo album.

Having supported the likes of DE LA SOUL, THE PHARCYDE, UGLY DUCKLING, BREAKESTRA, ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM, DJ FORMAT, DJ YODA and MR SCRUFF on tour all over the UK and Europe, along with solo rap tours in USA (including Brooklyn battle nights and the first EVER hiphop performance by a UK artist at Burning Man Festival) and tours South Africa, Gambia and Japan, it should come as no surprise that CARPETFACE takes the crowd back to the golden era of soulful hiphop, smashing the roof off with maximum audience participation.



Combining a huge stage presence with authentic old-school block-party flows, conscious lyrics, human-beatbox and live electronic percussion skills and infectiously catchy, often melodic chorus-hooks that can only be described as “hip-pop” , CARPETFACE is renowned for knocking audiences sideways with his one-man live show which must be seen to be believed.



Growing up in 80's and 90's London on Chuck D, Beastie Boys, Ragga Twins, Ice-T, Beck, Jamalski, Fu-Schnickens, Ice Cube, Demon Boyz, early LL Cool J, James Brown, John Coltrane, Beck, The Goon Show and Ren & Stimpy, CARPETFACE has a uniquely twisted yet authenticly genuine take on the hiphop genre, especially for a UK artist, often adding melody and surreal humour to tongue-twisting party-style conscious rhymes aimed at promoting peace and equality, increasing global compassion and awareness of important social issues like racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, corporate elitism, the dangers of collectivism and the dumbing down of modern youth.
