  • Culture Clash returns to London image
  • Red Bull Music Academy's Culture Clash concept will again grace London's Roundhouse venue on Thursday 14th October. The first Culture Clash took place earlier this year during the London installment of RBMA, and saw the likes of Metalheadz, DMZ, Trojan and Soul II Soul face off against each other with a series of 20-minute themed sets. The competitive element will remain the same as last time around, with Don Letts again undertaking hosting duties in between each system. As reigning Culture Clash champions, Goldie and his Metalheadz gang are the only crew from the first event to appear, this time swapping out Caspa for the junglist charms of Shy FX, while the reggae and dub selections will come from Channel One and Soul Jazz's respective DJ crews. The new school of bass music will be represented by dubstep pioneers and Magnetic Man members Skream, Benga and Artwork, who'll be bringing Bristol's Joker along for the ride.
