VATO GONZALEZ
FEAT. FOREIGN BEGGARS
‘BADMAN RIDDIM’ OUT JUNE 27 on MOS

On June 19th Ministry of Sound/Level Recordings proudly present ‘Badman Riddim (Jump)’ – a monster reworking of Dutch DJ/producer Vato Gonzalez’s 2010 hit instrumental, with vocals from UK urban heavy weights – Foreign Beggars.

Together, Vato’s killer hook and phat bassline explode with the Beggar’s trademark rhymes transforming ‘Badman Riddim’ into what looks to be one of 2011’s biggest summer anthems. It’s already received national radios seal of approval, with plays from Radio 1’s Trevor Nelson, Rob Da Bank, Scott Mills, Mistajam & Judge Jules, along with an early playlist addition at the Capital Radio Network and BBC 1Xtra.

Vato Gonzalez is one of the world’s top emerging DJ talents. Having already built a massively successful label, event and genre, known as ‘Dirty House,’ Vato’s original ‘Badman Riddim,’ was one of the biggest instrumentals of last year, winning over the likes of Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Annie Nightingale, Pete Tong, MistaJam and Toddla T, as well as notching up over 2 million views on YouTube.

Foreign Beggars are the critically acclaimed rap duo from London, winners of ‘Best New Act’ at the 2004 UK Hip Hop awards, and Best Group at the 2005’s Lyric Pad Hip Hop Awards. They’ve supported the likes of The Prodigy, Snoop Dogg, Amy Winehouse, Public Enemy, Ian Brown and De La Soul and were nominated for Best European Hip Hop Act at the 2010 Urban Music Awards, alongside Roots Manuva, Professor Green and Tinie Tempah.

Massive remixes include; a HUGE D&B remix from label boss DJ Friction, extended & dub edits, a heavy bass driven re-rub from acclaimed underground duo TruFix & Thunderskank and a high-tempo electro mix from Static Shokx.
