the award winning DJ winning the U.K. Mix Supreme titles for 7 consecutive years from 1984-1990, the best radio dj (1986 and 1987), the best U.K. dj (1986) and best club dj in 1990. With a style that’s second to none and a proven ability to be able to rock any crowd. He‘s remained at the top of the profession for many years with what he describes as the party style. Continuing to represent Rapattack at corporate and high profile gigs and being invited by many established club or party promoters who require an expertise set, incorporating good party vibes to please a diverse or specific audience. His love for people and the community, is highlighted by providing workshops and involvement with projects and other services to re-establish disaffected pupils in the school community. He regularly works with those affected by mental health and drug issues, assisting young people with CV construction and job searches together with using his position within the industry as a role model and music as a tool to enhance self esteem. Currently studying for a Masters degree at Brunel University, he remains treasurer of BASS (the British Association of Sound Systems) and recently was nominated to the London Notting Hill Carnival operations group sub committee.

An ex dancer, who regularly danced at Phillip Salon’s, “Mud Club” in 1988 (another joint  where Rapattack’s Master Mc used to dj) and she’s probably the most photogenic member of the team, joining in 1999 as a dj, following a long standing tradition of female entertainers from Rapattac (the most famous being the now internationally acclaimed artist ‘Betty Boo’). She originally started dj’ing as a result of having an ex boyfriend who brought a set of turntables to her place back in 97 and they never left. “I bought them off him when we split up” she says. She enjoys cooking, clubbing and looking good, gaining her first residency as a result of being nominated by DJ Chewy at London’s ‘Aquarium’ night-club. She also spent nearly 3 years as a resident dj for the famous ‘Poo Na Na’ club group from 1998-2000. She has an unbelievably good ear and very smooth mixing technique and has performed some wicked sets, when playing her preferred choice of dance and club classics. She has plans to run a club night out naming it ‘girls on top’, with all the dj’s, dancers and singers having to be 100% female (sexist or what..!!!!). She also has the yearning desire to take to the skies in a power glider. (offers welcome).

a die hard music lover, with a good knowledge of the mechanics of Soundsystems, who has been collecting rare original soul vinyl's, R’n’B and other good tunes for many years. Originally, a supporter of the Rapattack Roadshow from the 80’s and has progressed to become a reliable member of the crew. Officially joining Rapattack at the millennium, he immediately got to grips with the task, attending all official Rapattack meetings and within a year was nominated to chair B.A.S.S. (the British Association of Soundsystems), representing soundsystem issues at the Notting Hill Carnival. He is more than well qualified for this, with business, advocacy and political skills, gained as a senior Department of Trade and Industry (D.T.I.) manager and working as a diplomat for the British government. His positive, concise and thorough evaluation of issues, as well as a cool head and balanced political responses under pressure were quickly recognised by the Carnival organistion and it’s performing art arenas (Mas, Steel bands, Calypsonians, Mobile and static Soundsystems). This has elevated his position as a champion spokesperson and he was soon co-opted as chairperson for ECCA (Executive Committee of Carnival Arts), an advisory group to the Carnival company operations, which is made up of executives and chairs from all of the Carnival arts arenas. As if all that wasn’t enough, he was recently appointed as vice chairman to AGRE (Advisory Group on Racial Equality). No doubt he’s a very busy man. With all this to do, it’s a wonder that he has any time to play music and DJ for the Rapattack cause, as well performing at weddings and private parties and for his vast array of friends.

In his heyday rated as one of the top British rappers and was quickly signed to Rush Artist Management (affiliated to Def Jam U.K. label) in 1988 alongside the Wee Papa Girl Rappers. Contributing to the success of ‘Offshore’s’ major hits by supplying the rap vocals for their tracks, he has also regularly worked with the U.K’s R’n’B dj/producer Darkman and as a producer for the Select Committee. Travelling and having applied his trade all over Europe, the U.S.A and Africa. His talents also gained him a position as artiste liaison and stage co-ordinator for Del White (international gospel promoter and founder of Imani Music, responsible for signing ‘Nu Colors’ and as an agent for ‘the Winans’ and ‘Sounds of Blackness’). He also works with his sister’s ‘Sirius Energy’ promotion company who regularly bring artistes such as Gregory Issacs, Capleton, Beenie Man and oldskool soul acts such as ‘Oddesey’ and ‘Mcfadden and Whitehead’ to the U.K. He continues to be a valued (and probably is one of the most recognised), regular members of the crew.  He’s always upfront at Rapattack events, fire-ing and bubbling, entertaining the crowd and being cool and comfortable ‘on the mike.’

Dizzi Heights

joined the crew in 1988 becoming one of the most coolest rappers in town. Inspired by early hip-hop culture, break dancing, body popping and non-violent rap battles, he was instantly attracted and felt at home with the unique and innovative style of Rapattack. He has always been a very thoughtful and spiritual person. Apart from being seriously into deep soulful music with feelings, he’s also qualified and a master practictioner in the art of Reiki (pronounced ray-key), which is a very powerful and popular natural complementary therapy. As a champion of the community has been providing workshops at Her Majesty’s Prisons for young offenders to rebuild their confidence and self esteem and also works for charity based organisations, counselling centres and structured day programmes, with people who are addicts or are affected by addiction to drugs or alcohol.

a crew member since 1990, an integral member of the Rapattack (Crazy Larry/Wag Club)  Demolition Crew smashing down some serious lyrics with MC Bronx, Soulski, KG Demo, Problem Clild and MC Eric, with Master MC and Mixmaster Dee cutting popular tunes hard on the turntables. Has always been a galiss (womaniser) and manages to retain his image with the ever-changing “in crowd” on the fashion circuit and Central London’s club scene. Recently becoming a Muslim, he is a brilliant music producer who brings great sampling ideas to the team. He has a great singing and performing talent, which he underestimates and has always been reluctant to develop. He was born to be a star. Also happens to be an excellent MC and very very good dj, enjoying spinning commercial dance, drum and bass, house and oldskool hip hop.

joined Rapattack at inception and has since remained a dedicated/loyal and senior member of the crew, assisting with promotions and managing the technical operational aspects of setting up and breaking down of the soundsystem at live gigs. He occasionally spins at Rapattack gigs and is an avid music lover and former dancer, with a passion for funky vibes, fast cars and beautiful women, being responsible for promoting the gorgeous DJ Lady Misstify’s rise through the Rapattack ranks over the last few years.

regularly stood in for Master MC as a Rapattack DJ from inception and was selected to be the Rapattack’s dj contracted to lead the european campaign in Greece and Italy (back in 1986/7). Talented and multi-skilled (an excellent body -popper back in the day), he has been responsible for producing some great artwork for flyers, alongside performing all of the operational duties required for a working soundsystem. He still highly rates Teddy Riley, Babyface and Jam/Lewis productions and was a champion DJ of the New Jack Swing. More recently, due to his excellent knowledge of music and the business, has been assisting Mellow Milt with the management and vocal training/ development plans of artistes. He’s currently researching for his forthcoming publication (a book on the art of DJ’ing) which includes tips and extracts from many well known UK jocks (past and present) throughout the UK.

Joined Rapattack in 1985 and crowned as the fastest rapper in the world (631 syllables a minute) as featured in the 1993 Guinness Book Of Records. Has travelled all around the world performing lyrical poetry

one of the latest editions and hard working members of the Rapattack crew, joining in 2006. Alongside Junior J, Sam is invaluable in meeting the demanding tasks associated with Rapattack operations, particularly on Carnival days. He is simply loved, has a great sense of humour and a very big heart (nearly as big as his amazingly humongous appetite). When not frolicking around or bopping to the melodies emulating from the soundsystem, he remains to be a cool professional character. His dedication to work proved successful while being employed by the computer giants PC World where he became one of their top 100 salesmen in the country. This feat was rewarded and elevated  him to a position in management, where he undoubtedly excelled and within a short space of time was allocated to run one of their major northern stores. No doubt he's a people person, has a wicked personality with great team and leadership skills. After spending 7 years with PC world, it should come as no surprise that he was headhunted (can't keep a good man down) and now manages a team for one of the UK's substantial corporate brands. Always looking forward and up, Sam is just Sam- adorable, cool, pleasant, trendy and physical.

She hates all of the preparations, stress, hard work and build up to gigs, as well as the financial and deadline driven pressure of having to find new ideas and sponsors for the Carnival showcase every year. She’s also responsible for tying up all the loose ends and making sure that working crew members and guests get fed and looked after and also to ensure that nobody gets too tanked up on champagne before they perform (that's if she’s not ‘off the trolly’ herself). That can be disastrous. “You wanna see just how many people out there are enjoying themselves, even the guy that didn’t change his underpants for 2 days last year. That’s gross and disgusting” she says. “Me and the girls always have a good laugh. Everyone’s just so happy. It’s unbelievable”. She prefers House and G, Rap, R’n’B and Ragga with big beats and wouldn’t  have a clue on how to spot a hit tune, even if it slapped her in the face.

don’t mess I warn you. Loves soul R’n’B and Soca. Hates House & Garage music with a passion. A natural born organiser and if things don’t go the way that their planned (you know the way they do), you’d better watch out. Hard and firm and not afraid to say things when they need to be said (excellent & necessary skills required to deal with fresh men trying out their lyrics at the bar).  Currently a lady of leisure.

loves Rap and R’n’B and bumpin' dance music, alongside Tanya enjoys ravin and bitchin' about, as well as using hospitality skills at Rapattack events. Apart from being a Latino Senorita and bubbly person, she is a natural born spiritualist with powers traditionally having run in her family for years (some of us call her “The Witch”). She conducts tarot card readings (for a fee) with unbelievably accurate results, as can be testified by members of the crew, friends and clients alike. She has deep spiritual beliefs. Her perfect white teeth are the result of her full time post as a Dental Practice manager who enjoys dancin', (posin') and using the gym (sunbed) to retain that perfect tan. She’s still single and states that she’s still searching and waiting for the right man to come along.

Janice

an up and coming talent with a diverse musical taste and knowledge for her young age. An amateur dancer, winning many Ballroom and Latin American trophies in her hometown of Leicester and eventually going on to teach dance before deciding to enrol at Nottingham University to study for a Performing Arts degree. Graduating in 2003, she seems to excel in everything she does (and all this before the age of 21). She has an original and beautiful singing voice and performed live at Rapattack’s Notting Hill Carnival showcase or the first time in 2002. Always goes down a storm and has a great image. We expect her to go far- very very far. She’s currently using her experience and skills acquired academically to manage a customer service centre for a major high street brand.

(aka the technician)

the headstrong and most wickedly, naturally talented singer, songwriter and producer (yes he exceeds in all these areas). Has worked as a full time producer for the Rapattack stable and always has loads of personal projects on the go (yeah- both types), enjoying excellent reviews for the R’n’B hit (Esdee’s- Your Lovin featuring Iceberg Slimm) on Rapattack’s independent A.K.O label. He understands the elements of most musical styles and has been making serious tunes for over 15 years, working with the French artist ‘Misty’, ‘Manu Dibango’, ‘Javine’ (from pop stars, the rival) and the likes of ‘A Guy called Gerald’ along the way.

What would we do without him. An excellent organiser who has this way of being able to manage soundsystem set up and breakdown operations more efficiently than anyone else (and it’s not even his job). Reliable, dependable and vigilant. Able to think quickly on his feet as well as continually and regularly using his invaluable d.i.y. skills to save the day. An ex super bike racer with a passion for pets (and a bodyguard rotweiler named Satan). He loves champagne, beautiful women (most especially and always will love his mum who was a great, great and extraordinarily spectacular, kind woman who we all surely do miss.   This homeboy regularly jetsets to the South of France and other places (lucky devil). Always is secure, firm and fair when dealing with people in his capacity as head of Rapattack security and often supervises the security team and doormen at gigs. Always looks out for members of the crew and is great to have around. Loved by the women and their friends (often acting as agony aunt) and accompanying them on girls night’s out clubbing, to ensure that they can all get “tanked up” without fear of being molested by dodgy men.

originally the key member of the promotion team in the mid 1980’s and was invaluable at achieving Rapattack’s rise to fame, spending many hours ensuring that flyers and promotional literature were distributed at London's Underground tube stations, as well as every major outlet and trendy shops Londonwide and in particular during the late and unsociable club closing hours, which was one of the best ways to network at the time. He has since gained a BA Hons. degree in Communication and Audio Visual Production after attending London Guildhall University and now provides professional (mini dv) camera and photography services for private functions and weddings, as well as corporate clients and major events (not to mention music videos). He’s well worth his weight in gold and comes highly recommended.

youngblood- fun lovin' and the youngest member of the crew, joining in 2000 as a multimedia specialist, responsible for this web site design, as well as enjoying applying his I.T. and digital tech skills for Rapattack projects and having a hands on approach, assisting with live soundsystem operations. He experimented and introduced Final Scratch Pro (Stanton’s digital & virtual record imitating technology using MP3), which links the physical Technics SL1200 turntable to a lap top computer, from where stored tunes can be accessed and played using virtual vinyl on the turntable, eliminating the use of conventional records. It’s amazing and has to be seen to be believed.  Graduated (2004) from Nottingham University with honours in Computer Science. His expertise in computing technology is currently rewarding him with work afar field as New Zealand and Dubai and no doubt, he’s earning the bucks.
