Up and coming: 1Xtra stage Leeds festival 2013
Monday 20th May 2013 | Danielle
For the first time ever Leeds festival has added a new stage BBC Radio 1Xtra where some of the best in hip hop, grime and reggae artists will be performing for three days. Like it wasn’t exciting enough some big names have already been announced; Wiley, Wretch 32, Ms Dymanite, Giggs and so many more. For those who follow “new music” one man to look out for on the 1Xtra stage is the reggae dub step singer Stylo G. We have seen the genre of dub step creep up more and more over the music industry and just as we thought it was becoming old news it bounces back and surprises us by mixing it up with a little reggae. We all know Reggae is almost to everyone’s taste with its cool laid back vibes but Stylo G includes some vicious beats, which can only liven up the crowd. We also know dub step artist Skrillex is playing on the NME stage on Saturday maybe he might join the troop of dub heads and learn a new trick or two about reggae dub. If you haven’t heard his newest track “soundbwoy” go check it out.
