15th december 2006 - shlomo nottingham

it's astonishing that shlomo is not better known. despite working with bjork, which led to 4.5 billion hearing his beatbox skills at the 2004 olympic launch, and his becoming an artist in residence at the south bank in london most people have failed to pick up on him.

shlomo takes beatboxing and develops the sound of all kinds of different music, using available technolegy and a drum kit.
hip hop and dnb are represented, whilst towards the end of his set the beats orchestrally layered in his loop mixer almost begin to sound operatic.
