Crazy Cousinz were the first act to be booked for SIGNAL. Without a doubt the biggest artist/producer duo in the Funky scene, they blessed the stage with a performance of their first hit, 'Bongo Jam', along with vocalists Calista & Bongo Man. They have gone on to release the first ever major label UK Funky compilation CD, The Sound of UK Funky, creating many more anthems along the way, as well as remixing everyone from Estelle & Jazmine Sullivan to Cheryl Cole & Beverley Knight. |

As one of the producers behind Roll Deep, DJ Target is UK underground royalty. As part of the crew who shaped the sound of Grime & UK black music, it was an honour to have him grace the decks as the first guest DJ at SIGNAL. He's one of the most popular DJ's on BBC 1Xtra (one of the biggest radio stations in the world), and this has been reflected by them giving him a prime-time slot, lock into Target's show, every Friday night from 1900-2200. |

Natalie's funky hit 'Sexy Sexy (All Up On Me)' has gone on to do big things over the past couple of months, and she's now been signed to a major label. We spotted her way before that though, and she performed her debut track way back in April 2009 at SIGNAL 1! Natalie and her dancers gave us a wicked performance and rendition of the song, look out for a follow-up single this year. |

Undoubtedly the track of summer 2009 amongst funky lovers, 'Make It Funky For Me' was an anthem across the UK and abroad. Attacca Pesante & Shea Soul came down to SIGNAL 2 in July '09 and tore it down with a PA of this monster track! It was another tune that went on to be signed & released by a major label (including cover art by SIGNAL's own Lil' Dave), but expect much more of the same from them this year. |

Our guest DJ at SIGNAL 3 was 1Xtra's Cameo, and he brought Mr M along for the ride with him. Mr M jumped on stage for an impromptu PA of his call-and-response banger 'Dash Down', and then Cameo proceeded to rip the CDJ 1000's apart, dropping big tune after big tune, from Funky to Grime to Bassline. Don't miss Cameo's weekly 1Xtra show, 2200-0000 every Tuesday night. |
