SKANDALOUZ is a Hip-Hop Radio and Club DJ based in West London, England.

Having been a massive Hip-Hop junkie throughout his childhood and adolescent years, Skandalouz was eventually persuaded to put his vast record collection to use doing opening sets for a promoter friend whilst studying at university. Having little or no practical DJ experience Skandalouz begged, stole and borrowed DJ equipment from a variety of sources in order to practice mixing at home, he quickly learned the basics and began to really catch the DJing bug!

As his DJ skills began to improve, those early warm-up sets turned into later and later slots, until eventually turning into prime time, playing on line-ups alongside such established names as Tim Westwood, Trevor Nelson, Shortee Blitz, Semtex, DJ 279, Big Ted, DJ Swerve, Ace N Vis, Firin Squad, Heartless Crew, Chris Goldfinger, Robbo Ranx, Masterstepz, EZ + many more.

After spotting the buzz that was generating behind him, his university eventually offered him his own self-titled night ‘Skandalouz’ at the 800 capacity venue. The night debuted in 2003, and still runs to today, having seen 15 sold out bi-annual editions, making it the longest running single night in the history of the university.

After building his brand locally, Skandalouz began to obtain more bookings and residencies elsewhere in London and all over the UK. Together with mic-man, D.Tee (star of Channel 4’s ‘Chancers’ series, and presenter of BBC 1Xtra’s Soca Show) Skandalouz & D.Tee have torn up the set at countless club nights up and down the country.

In 2008 Skandalouz decided to expand from just performing at club nights to pursue one of his life long interests… radio. Having never performed on radio before, and recognising that presenting across the airwaves would require a different skill set, he elected to venture into pirate radio in North London in order to develop his hosting skills. Unfortunately the station closed down shortly after Skandalouz joined the roster, and so after only a handful of shows, he was once again on the lookout for a new station.

After only a few weeks without a station, and subsequently deciding that whilst pirate radio had been enjoyable, it was not the direction that he wanted to go in, Skandalouz joined legal West London based station Westside FM, and was quickly offered a prime-time Saturday night slot in the schedule. After an enjoyable 2 years on Westside, the station eventually succumbed to government funding cuts in early 2011, and Skandalouz was once again looking to move on to bigger and better things.

Having only been off-air for a few weeks, in late February 2011 Skandalouz jumped at the chance to become part of the family at BANG Radio, and can currently be found providing your weekly dose of stateside Hip-Hop in order to set off your weekend in style every Friday night from 7pm till 10pm. Catering to all fans of the genre, from the bass heavy thump of the dirty south, to the traditional New York boom-bap sound, you can hear it all blasting from his speakers every week!
