The festival starts at noon and manages to include MC battles, b-girl and crew battles, breakdance competitions and a whole host of concerts; the highlight of which is surely a turn by DJ QBert (pictured). Famed for his ‘hamster style’ scratching, QBert has been lording it over the decks since starting the group FM20 with Mix Master Mike and DJ Apollo back in 1990. Since then he’s scratched under the guise of Dr. Octagon for Kool Keith and won the ‘DMC USA Champion’ title many times over. Catch also homegrown acts SFDK, Morodo and Skratch Comando.
