Although another summer draws closer to its conclusion, there’s still plenty to look ahead to. Perhaps nothing more so than London’s annual street part, Notting His Carnival, the long-weekend bonanza set to shut down West this coming weekend. Of all the exciting festivities to come, one grabbed our attention – Red Bull Selector.

Not only boasting a totemic line-up of incredible – from headliners Lil Silva and Shy One, to Jordss b2b p-rallel and Heartless Crew – the brand-new stage at Carni is approaching curation with a whole new sentiment. Partygoers will be given red and blue voting tools, with a screen behind the respective selectors split into red and blue halves, on which during the show, musical cues will appear. Cues like Original or Remix, Soca or Dancehall, Old School or New School. The crowd can wave the voting tool that matches their choice’s colour to decide the direction of the set. It’s an intuitive, collaborative approach to the DJing craft, and an exciting process for any lucky punters.

Also appearing on the line up is West London local and hotly-tipped producer and DJ Izzy Bossy. The dancehall favourite will be spinning her finest on Sunday 25th August, and to celebrate such has collected her favourite Carnival tunes from across the years in one place to get us in the mood for the weekend. Take in the list below, and make sure you get down to Carni this weekend!
