Russ Jones tours oz in 2009 
RUSS JONES (London) 'Hackney Globe Trotter' Russ Jones returns to Australia for an east-coast 'global beats' jaunt in Feb... rocking venues in five cities on his way to his main gig at Womadelaide next month... In each location, he plays alongside the local Uber Lingua crew. Russ is behind some of London's most successful clubs including 'Around the World in 80 Ways', 'London Calling' and 'No Room for Squares' in the mid 90's, and was Artistic Director of legendary jazz venue 'Blue Note'. Guest deejays included luminaries Gilles Peterson, James Lavelle, Fabio, LTJ Bukem & Norman Jay amongst udders. Jones also played a vital role in setting up the celebrated Brazilian record label 'Far Out Recordings'. In the 21st century, Russ has become one of the world's leading 'global beats' DJs. From his seminal club night 'Future World Funk' working alongside regular DJ partner Cliffy, he has gone on to compile over 13 compilation CDs including the two globally renowned volumes of 'Gypsy Beats and Balkan Bangers', and now follows up with 'Arriba La Cumbia: The new sounds of cumbia from around the world'. Always championing new music Russ also had a hand in signing 'Panjabi MC' for his world-wide hit single 'Mundian To Bach Ke' which lead to the bhangra phenomenon crossing over from the UK Asian underground to many a dance-floor.

one of our MCs whom we tour around Australia regularly is based in Brisbane. Check out his tracks..
Potato Master Post-Japanese Brisbane MC Potato Master_ sings, raps & raga MCs in Japanese, broken English and Gibberish alongside creating abstract beats for himself & DJing what he describes as 'funny music'. His style is deliberately out of control and is one of the most infectiously hilarious performances available to Australia's East Coast, and VERY Japanese. In 2002 he joined 19-t records in Kyoto Japan, and toured Europe with them in '03. In '05 he moved to Australia and linked up with locals including equally zany hip-hop crew 'Curse Ov Dialect', Brisbane's Anglo-Asian dub system 'Taste of tea', DJ Skyfish, Heavy weight champions and the 'Lao mirador' reggae radio show on Vegas's legendary 4ZZZ. He also became a central vocal entity in Uber Lingua Sound System and has toured Melbourne twice, once as the headline artist at St Jeromes. He literally brought the house down with his solid beats, ultra-precise raps and hysterical ways...
