This guy did well at the last Red Bull Culture Clash even though Mixpak won (and I think they deserved to win.) Here’s an interview I did with him a while ago. Enjoy!

Smoove is a dj and producer from Newcastle and one half of Smoove & Turrell. He dislikes being called “Smooth”, owns two cats and knows how to cook a decent curry. His massive record collection is one big mess with no discernible order apart from every 70th record seeming to be Michael Jackson 12″.

Mr Benn’s Rising Star 12” has been one of my favourites for some time now and so I’ve been very much looking forward to his debut album Shake A Leg. Recently, Nice Up!’s Shepdog sorted me out with a promo of what seems to be one of the most entertaining albums of 2013 so far. While Rising Star had a slightly dark vibe to it, the rest of the album is packed with uplifting UK dancehall goodness combining some of the best old school and new school vocalists.
By now these guys don’t need an introduction anymore. The Heatwave are playing all over the UK and abroad, supporting major dancehall artists and causing major bashment mayhem wherever they go. I met up with Gabriel and Ben for a chat in Dalston.
