SPEAKERBOX is the chance for MistaJam to take a host of first-rate cutting edge talent in the form of deejays, producers, artists and performers on the road with him; all of whom he has been championing across his radio shows in recent months. A 14 date tour spanning the country will kick off in May and will see Jam overtaking festivals and clubs as well as Radio 1’s flagship Weekender. For one special show (on May 30th) MistaJam will also team up with the charity Love Music, Hate Racism.

Something that sets MistaJam apart from his peers is his diversity. He is the figurehead of the concept that the barriers between musical genres are being broken down: Dance producers are working with Urban artists. Drum & Bass heads are making Dubstep. R&B singers are singing over House tracks. Indie bands are embracing keyboards and breakbeats over guitars and amplifiers. Jamaican Dancehall riddim builders are making UK Funky. Armand Van Helden, Calvin Harris and The Arctic Monkeys are making music with Dizzee Rascal. Grime artists Wiley, Tinchy Stryder and Kano are riding high in the national charts with electro records. MistaJam Presents Speakerbox is here to represent that in a club setting. Bringing it back to the ethos of good music is good music regardless of where it came from.

MistaJam rocks every Saturday night into Sunday morning (3am-5am) on Radio 1 while every weeknight from 7-10pm he is in charge on 1Xtra with a show dubbed the ‘Key To The Underground’.

MistaJam’s SPEAKERBOX is going to be one hell of a party! Keep locked to SpeakerBoxTour.com for the most up to date info, tour blogs, photos and more.
