Enter The Dragon bring IntroducingLive back to the H&H this Saturday 30th May to perform Daft Punk’s Discovery 100% live.

IntroducingLive began with a single great idea, take a classic electronic album and recreate it with a live band. Starting in 2007 with DJ Shadow’s ‘Endtroducing’, they’ve been playing to packed houses all over the UK and Europe ever since. Today, now a slimmed-down six-piece turn their sights on their greatest challenge yet: Daft Punk’s legendary 2001 LP, ‘Discovery’. Introducinglive combines the buzz of a live gig with music that you never imagined you’d hear live. Expect robotics and lasers. Expect a stunt guitarist, samples triggered by increasingly blurry hands, and sixty-one minutes of unbelievable drumming. Check out the video of them doing a LIVE 5 minute mini mix for Radio 1 below;

Freestyle are delighted to bring UK hip hop legend Ty to the Hare & Hounds for the first time on Saturday 30th May.

With a reputation built on his original style and refusal to hop on any industry bandwagon, Ty is best known for his lyrical frankness and honest portrayals of everyday life, setting him aside from many mainstream hip hop acts and allowing him complete artistic independence. This has led to the release of four successful albums and a Mercury Prize nomination, among many high profile plaudits.

After gaining notoriety on the London underground scene Ty signed to Big Dada records in 2001, the same year his mighty debut album ‘Awkward’ was released. The union between the artist and label saw a further two albums – 2003’s Mercury-nominated ‘Upwards’ and ‘Closer’ (2006) – released over five years, followed by ‘Special Kind of Fool’, which came out in 2010 via BBE records.

Currently signed to Tru Thoughts, with whom he has released two singles, Ty has featured, collaborated with and produced for many artists including Roots Manuva, Tony Allen, Scratch Perverts, Talib Kweli, Blak Twang and Arrested Development.

Support on the night comes from one of the UK’s premier hip hop DJs E Double D, No Fakin’s Kwinzola, DJ Lenny of Love The Life and Freestyle residents Sam Redmore & Rick Shaw.
