The BRITS announce headline and DJ line up

The BRITS have announced the line up for this year’s festival and if you are heading over then you had better prepare yourself for chaos. You have to ensure that you fully brace yourself for a live audio/visual set from the one and only DJ Yoda and the night will be one to remember as Mr Thing and Yungun join Scratch resident Matt Smooth and DJ Lyley for some dance floor devastation.

Carnage
The on-mountain BBQ will be in full swing as will The Sledgecross and you will be able to shove drawing pins through your nose to take part in the punk themed fancy dress party. Oh and there will also be all the technical trickery you could ever want in the Whitelines Rail Jam.

So, if you are heading to Laax in Switzerland for the BRITS you have plenty of amazing stuff to look forward to.

First seen at The BRITS in 2004, world renowned scratch legend DJ Yoda is set to return with an incredible live audio-visual set for 2012.  Expect to hear the Indiana Jones theme mixed with woofer-worrying Dubstep or The Muppet theme cut with MIA when Yoda descends on Laax with a brand new live AV show to blow your thermal socks off!  Known for his mind-blowing turntable skills that fuse funk, reggae, drum ‘n’ bass and even big band swing and country & western and dubbed as “one of the ten DJ’s to see before you die” by Q Magazine you’d be mad to miss this!

BRITS regulars and SCRATCH residents Matt Smooth and DJ Lyley will be joined by UK hip-hop heavy weights Yungun and Mr Thing for a night of grimy beats and rhymes.  Following a string of collaborations with the likes of Guru and The Nextmen, Yungun is set to rock Laax with his eclectic mix of hip-hop, disco, soul, house, jazz and electronica.  Providing the backdrop to Yungun’s needle-sharp raps will be DMC Scratch winner and THE party DJ, Mr Thing.  Having toured with the likes of DJ Jazzy Jeff, Beastie Boys and Run DMC expect the mountains to shake with this one!

There was supposed to be some time to recuperate but instead they are bringing you a night of epic live action, which will include a banging live band (to be announced shortly!) and a live AV set from Bristol based turntable genius DJ Cheeba.  So get ready to stick matchsticks in your eyes and peel back your ears as Cheeba takes you on a trip of long forgotten beats, breaks and videotapes.

Not enough?  We’ve teamed up with UK shred mag Whitelines to bring you the Whitelines Rail Jam at The BRITS 2012. For one night only we’ll be transporting all the action down to the après arena and awarding those that put board to metal to impress the judges, there’s beer money at stake here so expect big things!
