Beat4Battle TV:UK – Episodes 4 and 5 bonuses

To go hand in hand with the last Beat4Battle TV:UK episode we have some more bonus cuts (pun kinda intended but not really cos it’s quite bd) from episodes 4 and 5, available for streaming now on Yoshi’s Vimeo channel. I’ve embedded them below for easy browsing or you can head straight to the channel page where you can stream every episode so far including bonuses.

As announced in the podcast for episode 6, the UK leg of the Beat4Battle TV series is now over. Coming up next is a one off China episode and then a new series focusing on Japan. Until then, there’s plenty more for you to get stuck in below and keep an eye out for the next episode which should be hitting the site and feeds in early September.

Beat4Battle TV:UK – Episode 6

And so we reach the end of the Beat4Battle TV:UK series, with episode 6. As Yoshi put it, it ends on number 6 just like any old BBC series! This time the spotlight it turned on yet another little known scratcher, Mikey originally from Hong Kong but currently residing in the UK. Here’s a little background info from Yoshi:

“Before I came up with the idea of “B4B TV” in early June, I didn’t have any plans for the summer other than a personal trip to Hong Kong with my friends in August. I knew that there was this one DJ from Hong Kong called Mikey, who is the 2006/2008 DMC champion there and also a very talented scratcher. I admired his exceptional skill and was eager to meet him, so I contacted him on Myspace to see if he would be free in the period that I’d be in HK. He replied to let me know that he in fact lives in Victoria, a fact to which I was delighted since I was already in the UK at the time. I went to his house on that weekend to have a session together and I continued to meet him for a session each weekend after, until my return to Tokyo. After I had filmed the material for the first five episodes of the series, I asked if he was down to be filmed for the sixth episode of “B4B TV: UK” to which he agreed. I think we filmed the episode on the second or the third of our weekend meets. Well, I hope that you enjoy this episode!”

This episode is 17 minutes long, and comes in at 206mb. As with all our video podcasts it’s optimised for iPod and iTunes (.m4v file) viewing but can be played with all standard media players as long as you have the latest codecs.

Despite this being the last Beat4Battle TV:UK episode it’s far from the end of the series itself. Up next we have a bonus episode (TBC), a Beat4Battle TV:China episode and then a new series focusing on the Japanese scene Beat4Battle TV:Japan. Before all of this, and unless my ridiculously charged schedule gets more ridiculous, I’ll be airing a new Turntable Radio podcast full of new music. More info on all of that soon!

Beat4Battle TV:UK – Episode 5.1

After a little holidaying break, which I’ve just found may have actually been filled with more filming, Yoshi’s back with episode 5 of Beat4Battle TV:UK. This time he shines a light on DJ Clix, someone you may not be too familiar with (I know I wasn’t!). Here’s a bit more explanation from Yoshi:

“This episode features DJ Clix, who is quite unknown but a very good scratcher and beatmaker. He contacted me through Myspace when he saw that I was looking for scratch DJs to film for B4B TV and we met up a day after the original e-mail. I already knew who he was because I saw a video he had out on YouTube a while back where he scratches and was quite impressed then. I’m glad that I can give him more exposure on Turntable Radio, in the amount he rightfully deserves for his skill. That’s what B4B TV is all about…”

So without further ado we proceed with episode 5. This episode is 18 minutes long, and comes in at 216mb. As with all our video podcasts it’s optimised for iPod and iTunes (.m4v file) viewing but can be played with all standard media players as long as you have the latest codecs.
