Jaybee & XTC Nottingham - How You Like That

Connecticut-born Jaybee was brought up listening to the diverse sounds of Jazz & Pop, with deep roots in Hip Hop, Reggae and Dance Hall. Inspired by his father (who was a radio DJ), he developed an early fascination for music videos and radio shows. At age 13, he was introduced to a pair of turntables—and with influences like KRS 1, Big Daddy Kane, Nas, and Buju—began a lifelong journey into mixing and music production.  

A few years later, he was intrigued by a friend’s techno compilation “Hit the Decks” Megamix tape series, and branched out into absorbing more electronic music genres like Breakbeats. He was introduced to jungle at his first Digital Konfusion Jungle Party with DJ ODI, who mixed two copies of “Terrorist,” which further piqued his interest on the decks. Coming from a turntablist background, he realized that it was possible to blend his Hip Hop mixing skills into Jungle music, zeroing in on his own style incorporating dope beats with tight scratches. Working closely with other prominent artists in the industry, Jaybee has been collaborating regionally with producers like Random Movement, Dave Owen, Grimm, and Sinistarr. He has played in a majority of the states and festivals like WMC; as well as overseas in Europe, including performing at the Mac II label showcase at Sun N Bass. 

Jaybee’s music has received support by the likes of DJ Randall, Bryan Gee, DJ Marky, Calibre, Grooverider, DJ Storm, dBridge, LTJ Bukem, DJ Vapour, A-Sides, PFM, Trex, Physics, and Random Movement among others.

Now residing in Virginia, Jaybee has gone from strength to strength and is a fixture in the stateside drum and bass scene. With releases on Mac II, V Recordings, Liquid V, Chronic, GoodLooking, Innerground, Rubik and many others, he’s more than established a solid foundation as a key American drum and bass producer. Blending diverse sounds seamlessly from soulful rollers with lush vocals, to heavier hitting compositions, you’re guaranteed a captivating ride full of energy that vibrates the dance floor with deep baselines every time.

An MC, Host and Lyricist, Birmingham’s Natty D is a versatile microphone champion who hones his craft across a wide range of sounds in underground dance music. 
After his dad and brother infused his young mind with a range of rave music alongside generous heaps of dub and reggae, he found a love for drum & bass, grime and bassline as a teenager. This eclectic mixing pot of sounds; from Bob Marley and Steel Pulse to Dizzee Rascal, Kano and the Ragga Twins gave him a solid foundation from which to draw inspiration for his own unique sound. 
After first picking up a microphone at Birmingham’s legendary Break Thru, he’s gone from strength to strength. As well as performing along the length and breadth of the West Midlands, Natty has gone on to play in cities such as Bristol, London, Liverpool and Manchester. He’s made his mark playing seminal events like Rupture and Rumble in the Jungle, at foundation venues like Corsica Studios and Bristol’s Blue Mountain. He's also performed at a multitude of festivals including: Balter Fest, Shambala, Valefest, MADE and NASS.
His choppy ragga style is a natural fit for jungle and rolling drum & bass but also acts as the perfect infusion for low tempo flavours such as dubstep, grime and roots and thanks to this, he’s had the honour of performing alongside a huge range of respected and influential selectors such as; Kenny Ken, Storm, Chimpo, Remarc, Serum, T>I, Loxy, Nicky Blackmarket,  N-Type, Dazee, Aries, Dillinja, Altern8, Kelvin 373, Charlie P, Cheshire Cat, Data 3, Double O, Jinx, K-Jah, Liz-E, Looney, Mark Dinimal, Margaman and Mrs Magoo. Not forgetting grime artists such as Slick Don and Flirta D
His ability to adapt to other genres of music has led him to host radio shows such as Radar, Bloc 2 Bloc and local radio station Newstyle. Natty D has had airplay on BBC Radio 1, WM and Dread Radio, Collaborating with local DJ's Skudkid and Slaine.
With over 15 releases on 15 different labels and the launch of his brand new label '0121 Recordings',  the future is looking bright for Natty D, with hopes for many more festival bookings and plans for an album in the near future.
