    He's one of the featured artists on Abeltons website. Truly next level.

    What people like Rahzel and Killa Kela do is impressive but when you see their show it's pretty much the same thing over and again, amounting to a "look what I can do with my mouth". After the tenth time the result is "Yeah, so what?".

    This guy is creating something new with beatboxing, which is commendable in my opinion. :)

    I don't think I'd want to go watch 2 hours of it. At the same time, this is about the first time I've seen someone open up this technology to its potential, which I've been wanting to see happen with Live (I ain't musician enough to even try it). This is the closest I've ever seen to music going from brain to outside world without much happening inbetween. I mean, think about what you could do even just using it as a kind of notebook--I'm Beethoven, and I've got 18 instrument parts, several melodies, harmonies, and counterpoints, and a pure beautiful clockwork structure in my head, and I want it out there NOW. You could overtrack, playback, loop, and compose dense, rich, and complex orchestration ON THE FLY with this thing. That's frigging amazing. I can't wait to see what even the next FIVE years will bring.

    It may be a crappy time for music labels, but it's an exciting time for music.

    isn't what Jamie Lidell do in his show ?

    personally, I don't like beatboxer, I can stand, maybe, 1, 2 tracks, but after that, it becomes too repetitive.

    Oh I dunno about that! Look at any Scooter Video and there appears to be almost nothing going on in the brain then it gets output to the world in the same fashion. Ends up that there is very little of musical note at the end of the day either.

    What Kid Beyond does takes a decent chunk of talent and imagination. Like you I'm not sure I could watch a 2 hour show but could you imagine him teamed up with Sasha, Habersham, Pendulum, Tim Fretwell or Way Out West? Now thats what I called twisted!

    these cats are doin it in a team of 3 - it's pretty fun! :)

    all of them won or were participants of several battles, including the berlin finals (all qualified, wetlipz won it) and germany-wide (can't remember the places).
