THE BIG BAND THEORY - TOUGH TOUCH PRODUCTIONS

BIG BAND IS BACK WITH A BANG!

Hip Hop, Shaken with Gin and Served Straight Up With a Cocktail Olive

Bristol based Hip Hop group Tough Touch Productions swing into town with their Debut release 'The Big Band Theory', which fuses cutting edge lyricism with a classic Big Band era twist, a strong concept that runs throughout the record. Catchy melodies and 'every-man' narratives of the MC's have resulted in healthy support from radio stations, bloggers and positive feedback from DJ's.

MC's Social Conscience, Kali Mist and Reggie Million$ give assured performances, with distinctively different styles, yet able to flit from conscious musing to gin-soaked swagger, effortlessly complimenting the whore-house jazz productions of Kali Mist, Nicky Beats and guest Producers Matchstick and Fresh, with cuts supplied courtesy of the group's DJ Kraf-T - morose, overly aggressive, synthesised Hip Hop this isn't.

One of three unsigned acts to have been featured on the 100% Home-Grown show, on BBC1Xtra -(14/03/10) - exposing their music to the nation, supported by a track on the subsequent 1Xtra Pod-cast. Rehearsing with live bassist Ollie Gould (of the Jinx), in preparation of another hectic year of shows and festival appearances - including The Upfest, and building on a prolific year of club dates and festivals in 2009 - performing on the main stage at St Paul's Carnival, Aeon Festival, and across the South West.
