Taking place at London’s Drumsheds on March 8, 2025, it will be the first Red Bull Culture Clash event since 2016, with its format inspired by Jamaican sound clash culture. Following a four-round battle where the crews will be encouraged to play exclusive dubplates and bring out special guests, the crowd in attendance will pick a winner.

Commenting on the team reveals, Kenny Allstar, said: “I’ve been watching Culture Clash since its inception and as a DJ it’s a dream. It’s like one of the biggest moments of any DJ’s career. You feel like you’re a part of a top 2 per cent of sounds and DJs from around the world.”

Jyoty said: “You can expect education for the younger generations that are going to be in there. We’re going to be running rhythms and bringing people out that are so pivotal to music culture, specifically in the UK.”

Teezee also commented: “Being part of Culture Clash is a real honour. Being a student of the game, those are things we used to watch; BBK. Chase and Status winning, all of those memories."

"So culturally it’s something that is really important. Obviously it’s the first time Afrobeats is participating in it [as a genre] too, so it’s going to be a beautiful experiment.”
