We’re really excited to announce that The Smalls is teaming up with Humanbeatbox.com as part of our Street Sounds event.

Humanbeatbox.com has been the world’s most comprehensive beatboxing resource since 2002 and we’re thrilled to be collaborating on various activities in the months ahead.

Especially exciting are the plans we are making to join the American Beatbox Championships at the end of July for a weekend of cultural activities around the championship in NY.

Since 2002, Humanbeatbox.com has been the leading light in the global beatbox scene.  Whether bringing beatboxers together from around the world at the International Beatbox Convention (Boxcon), finding the top artists in the UK in the Vauxhall UK Beatbox Championships, or providing a core web presence for the community at large to meet, learn and show off, we’ve been moving things onwards and upwards!

Now, having co-created the World Beatbox Association, things are already getting bigger.  With the first ever American Beatbox Championships currently under way, and a Canadian national event in its planning stages, Humanbeatbox.com is yet again pushing the infrastructure to new heights.  Let alone through a brand new and innovative format finding finalists for the US Champs via online video battles on youtube.  Our goal is to push beatboxers to take themselves to the next level, and to be musicians in their own right.

2010 sees Boxcon return to the US for a weekend of workshops, open mics, showcases and the Grand Final of the American Champs.  We’re very pleased to be teaming up with The Smalls to get beatboxers involved in the Street Sounds project, and we hope that artists from around the planet will take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.
