The Firin’ Squad first started blazing a trail through London’s underground club scene over a decade ago. Today they are one of the UK’s leading DJ outfits, they’re at the forefront of the urban music takeover, and they’re coming at you from every angle.

Their club schedule is heavy, and they continue to play the biggest nights all over the UK and overseas – recent international gigs have included Dubai, New York, Russia, Ukraine, MTV Block Parties in Lithuania, and through Summer 2007 they returned to Ayia Napa with their weekly residency, for the fourth year running.


But where ever they are, and whether they’re playing to a few hundred people in an intimate venue or on a stage in front of a few thousand, the aim is always the same, and that is to rock the party, hard!


There have been the chart-topping albums – The Firin’ Squad have compiled and mixed seven releases to date. These collections of urban music have all proved to be very successful, with the four releases in The Very Best Of Pure R&B series alone having combined sales of over one million CD’s.


In August 2006 the guys launched a new project which fully embraces the digital music revolution. The Firin’ Squad Unsigned Podcast is a series of monthly audio programmes, which highlight the UK’s finest unsigned and independent music.


The show not only has the support of all the artists on the urban scene, but now also has the highest accolade from the radio industry. In April 2007 the boys won Gold at the prestigious Sony Radio Academy Awards, in a brand new category - Internet Programme Award.


The podcasts are free to download from iTunes and have rarely been out of the download chart. With each half hour show the guys roll out a selection of the hottest tracks and also feature studio guests, with an exclusive live performance and interview. Artists who have appeared in the series so far, have included Roll Deep, Faith SFX, Akala and 2007 MOBO Award Winners N-Dubz, to name but a few. For more info, check out www.firinsquadunsigned.com.


Since January 2007, the guys have been providing in-flight entertainment for the UK’s second largest airline, BMI. You can catch them in the mix, on the Urban Show on all long haul flights - so if you’re off on your hols, make sure you check it out!


And in August 2007, the trio were signed up by Choice FM, the UK’s number one radio station for Hip Hop and R&B. 18 months after having left Kiss FM, where they had held down a weekly show for 7 years, the guys returned to the airwaves. You can now catch them across the weekends, presenting shows with that energy that they are famous for, playing a broad mixture of urban music and as always, championing the new sounds.


Finally, with their YouTube channel youtube.com/firinsquad, a vibrant presence on MySpace myspace.com/thefirinsquad, as well as the official website right here, they have got the internet locked down too.
