Our annual HipHop and Afrobeats celebration features the incredible, multidisciplinary artist Irish Mellow and performances from our student artists and producers, one of whom will win a professional video shoot or studio recording. BBC Radio1Xtra presenter Theo Johnson decides the winner live on the night.

Producer and curator Irish Mellow combines grime, electronic and jazz in new and exciting ways. DJ Mista Trick spins the freshest tunes to keep you bouncing.
