Karen P's Broad Casting night presents Portugese collective Buraka Som Sistema (a tongue in cheek dig at the popularity of the 'Soundsystem' tag to many artists names). They are comprised of Lil' John, Riot and Conductor - a trio who dish up their trademark hot and fresh grimey ghettotech accompanied by a gang of Portuguese MC's and some incredible young African body poppers.

These guys literally explode onto the stage and their driving, breakbeat and pumping dirty beats will sweep you away to the ghetto.

Their sound combines many flavours; kuduro, zouk, afrobeat, techno, grime, electro. Many of the MC's are from Angola - joining the dots between African and Portugese music.
