MS DYNAMITE
The true first lady of UK Garage, UTR are extremely excited by Ms Dynamite's return to the UK Club scene.

Aswell as the new cuts, Dynamite will be performing a collection of the classics that won her so much adoration in the first place, with tracks such as "Boo!" and "It Takes More" due to recieve an airing. This exclusive performance from the mercury music prize and MOBO winning legend is definitely not to be missed!

MAJESTIC
Majestic started out as an MC plying his trade in the nightclubs of North London from the age of fifteen. He quickly managed to break onto the pirate radio stations that were playing UK Garage and early grime in 2002. It was during this time that Majestic (real name Kevin Christie) withdrew from the normal social life of a fifteen year old with his friends to concentrate on building up his profile amongst other Garage producers and MCs. Bookings soon followed at clubs such as Scala in Kings Cross and Eros in Enfield, and Majestic quickly realised the challenges that lay ahead for a white MC on the UK Garage circuit.
