Applebum Ibiza: Grandmaster Flash

Applebum bring Hip Hop royalty to the White Isle with a groundbreaking 13-week residency at Sankeys Ibiza

Every Tuesday night from June 21st — September 13th

Get ready to take a journey back to the roots of Hip Hop as Applebum present one of their biggest inspirations, Grandmaster Flash. Young Flash mastered his innovative and completely original DJing techniques of cutting, backspinning and phasing on a sound system he built out of scraps before he finally rose to prominence in the New York DJ scene of the 70s. His mixing skills have been said to have transformed the turntable into a true ‘instrument’, and his energy-filled sets that get the crowd moving like no other have become legendary. In 2007 he, along with the Furious Five, became the first Hip Hop act to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He pushed the envelope, broke the rules and became a revolutionary driving force behind the continuing development of hip hop music, a true godfather of Hip Hop culture. Grandmaster Flash will be bringing his iconic old-school South Bronx vibes to Sankeys Ibiza to headline week three.
