Each week a Ö÷²¥´óÐã Introducing track gets picked for the Radio 1 playlist ensuring airplay to millions on shows like Fearne Cotton, Scott Mills and Greg James.

Ö÷²¥´óÐãtown: Big Beat Bronson are a hip hop quartet from Newcastle upon Tyne. The band are Baron Von Alias (who played the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Introducing Stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle in 2011), MistaBreeze, Eliza Lawson and DJ LKP. They united their powersÌýat the start of the summer of 2012Ìýand have been making waves ever since.
Style: The foursome more than live up to the big beat billing with New Me pounding on your door for attention. Fans of Chase & Status and Pendulum will enjoy the sharply produced drum and bass track while Von Alias and Mistabreeze's pass-the-mic vocals have drawn comparisons with the Beastie Boys... albeit with Geordie accents.
You need to know: The band aren't shy when it comes to dipping into the dressing up box. If you go see them live, don't be surprised to see onesies, Ghostbuster outfits and, of course, one particularly great moustache.
Supported by: Ö÷²¥´óÐã 6 Music's Tom Robinson calls them 'genius' and Ö÷²¥´óÐã Newcastle's Nick Roberts has been backing them for a while, first playing New Me at the start of July.

I recommend anyone to check them out live, on video or just downloading the EP, you won't regret it. And they're top people, have hats, onesies and an epic tash. What more do you need?
