Salut Les Gars! Birdy Nam Nam are ready to hit up London just a scant two days before Bastille day.

Bastille Day actually commemorates the day that Birdy's ancestors stormed the largest Fnac (think the French HMV) in the city and liberated the vinyl which years later the crew would use to begin their journey to the top of turntablist musicianship...... well at least it should! Either way, it's an honour to have them at this historic and overtly French time of year. Especially with support from DJ Cazey who is the hottest Parisian since DJ Feadz. And we have them both!

Birdy Nam Nam are more than a DJ crew or more than just a gang of b-boys with a lot of time on their hands. They won the DMCs and then dismissed it as “for nerds”. This four man crew make music so musical you'd swear it was music being played live – they use the deck as an instrument so much they'll play the xylophone, isolate one note and then press it to vinyl so they can scratch it up.

Movie soundtracks, world tours, dope albums and theatre scores, they've done all this and more. But Birdy Nam Nam are all in the performances and they have snatched up props from everyone and everywhere on the back of their revolutionary approach. It is their desire to move beyond the flashy displays of skill that dominate crew shows that have endeared them to their audience. Birdy Nam Nam create more layered, more fully realised music than anyone else with turntables and this July they're showing us how.
