This was broken twice, once by Annie Mac’s team when Sam Smith came on to perform ‘Latch’ with Disclosure, and then a second time when Major Lazer brought out Stylo G for a ferociously-received rendition of ‘Call Me a Yardie’.

Everyone remained firmly in first gear, with Annie Mac Presents probably the standout.ġ5 minutes of music: no special guests and no custom dubplates, as rules stated that both must be held back until round four. Channel One bubbled, Annie Mac’s team took it in turns to each play short pre-planned / pre-recorded sets featuring 2012’s biggest dance tunes (some – Disclosure, Redlight – pulled this off with panache Rudimental’s Piers Agget was a little more awkward), Boy Better Know hyped over low-quality mp3s and Major Lazer played ‘Gangnam Style’ while Diplo crowd-surfed in a Wayne Coyne-esque bubble.
In short, a chance for each team to get the crowd on their side without fear of defeat – the clash doesn’t officially start until Round Two. Here’s how it went down, with a set of accompanying pictures that were Instagrammed or Twitpic’d during the event. Last night, the Red Bull Culture Clash descended on London.Īt a new home of Wembley Arena, the event saw four stages – manned by veteran reggae soundsystem and current title holders Channel One, Major Lazer (Diplo, Jillionare and Walshy Fire), grime brand / label / collective Boy Better Know and a showcase by Annie Mac, featuring Magnetic Man, Redlight, Disclosure and Rudimental – compete over four rounds, with a champion ultimately decided by the loudness of the crowd’s reaction to each act.
