Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee receives 'Album of the Month' by Mixmag

Up-and-coming, THTC sponsored artist Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee has received prestigious 'Album of the Month' by Mixmag.

With his trademark live FLUTEBOXING [beatboxing and playing the flute at the same time], Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee's explosive blend unites Hip Hop, Drum 'n' Bass and Ragga beats with Indian classical, Jazz and Funk melodies.

Nathan Lee is a true 21st Century musical pioneer, taking live acoustic performance to the next level and urban music into uncharted waters. His hi-octane hyper-percussive show combines the raw energy and attitude of hip hop and jazz beats with the intricacies and musicianship of classical Indian music.

After leaving school and working as a labourer for five years, Nathan Lee put down his shovel and picked up a flute...not your average path to musical success but then again, Nathan Lee is not your average musician. Half-Indian and half-Scottish, this former pirate radio Jungle MC has a musical education in hip hop, jazz, and Tchaikovsky, complemented in recent years by a love of Eastern music inspired by frequent visits to perform in India.

He has collaborated live and in the studio with, among other The Prodigy, The Roots, Beardyman, Plan B, Asian Dub Foundation, Foreign Beggars, Mattafix and Ed Rush & Optical. Nathan has established himself as a UK festival favourite, appearing at Bestival (main stage 2008 & 2009) as well as WOMAD (UK, Spain, and Gran Canaria - main stage), Larmer Tree and Glastonbury. He is also spreading his sound further afield to Russia, U.S.A., Mexico, South East Africa and beyond.

Nathan is a true supporter and friend of THTC, and one of the most creative artists we have ever worked with.
