The Scribes

The Scribes are a new wave hip hop four-piece consisting of co-lyricists Ill Literate and Loki Steele, beatbox maestro Lacey and Dj Kenny Hectyc, who's unique talents have combined to make a much heralded sound quite unlike any other.

The group have performed extensively across the UK and beyond with artists such as GZA from Wu Tang Clan, Example, Plan B, Prof Green, Chipmunk, Tinie Tempah, Ugly Duckling, MF Doom, Pendulum, Magnetic Man, Westwood, Stereo MCs, Chase and Status, RA the Rugged Man, Macklemore, Dels, Estelle, Wiley, Roll Deep, Goldfinger, Foreign Beggars, Phi-Life Cypher, Skinnyman, Mr Thing, Ray Keith, Ed Case and MC Lars, and have provided original music for BBC and Channel 4 television programming.

The Scribes are one of the most talented up and coming artists on the scene and are hotly tipped to “step up to the big league at any time”, their genuinely unique sound is something you really have to hear for yourself, with appeal ranging far beyond the traditional hip hop fare, and is backed up by live performances proven to move any crowd.

Last Edition

Leicester’s “Ska Punk Party Brigade” Last Edition closed out another successful takeover. The band acknowledge that Download “isn’t notorious for an abundance of ska bands”, but this lively set was perfectly in sync with the party vibe of the Boardie Takeover. Inspired by the likes of Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish and Madness, they pulled infectious tune after infectious tune out of the hat – including a Madness cover that drove the audience into a skanking frenzy.

The slick professionalism of the performance was on a par with a band playing the main festival. The band seemed incredibly at home on the stage and euphorically happy to be playing, with a grin constantly plastered to saxophonist Sam’s face for the entire set. Last Edition proved a perfect choice to close the evening and pump up the excitement for the three days of music ahead. They will be touring the UK this July.
