Markel Scott, otherwise known as Bishop Nehru is an American rapper and producer, famed for bringing a fresh sound to the hip hop table. His passion for music surfaced as soon as he reached 13, writing jazz music and creating hip hop beats. By the time Bishop Nehru was just 15 years old, he dropped the debut mixtape, Nehruvia. Comprising 13 tracks, it boasted productions from J. Dllla, MF DOOM, DJ Premier and Madlib.

Since Bishop’s signing to Nas’ label, Mass Appeal Records in 2014, he has gone on to release music at an incredibly consistent rate. By 2014 he collaborated with MF DOOM on NehruvianDoom and in 2016 he dropped an entire LP, titled Magic 19. In 2017, Bishop Nehru released a string of albums, including Emperor Nehru’s New Groove, Strictly Flowz and Nehruvia on all streaming platforms.

Having performed the opening for Wu-Tang Clan’s 20th Anniversary, Nas, DOOM, Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q & many others Bishop Nehru is a fresh rapper who is earning the respect of some of the greatest in the game.

Up next at the Miss World musical beauty pageant – Reo.

We were first introduced to Reo through KYSO Sound’s night at Venue MOT – and as soon as we heard her seamlessly mixing jungle on vinyl at 5am we new we had to get her up to play in Edinburgh.

Reo was introduced to UK dance music from a young age, hearing her mum play garage alongside an array of other genres and musical inspirations in her home. Reo’s love of jungle coming from experiences like carnival and growing up listening to jazz drumming, noticing the crossover between genres.

She’s already going from strength to strength, and it’s clear to see why. Having guested on shows on Rinse FM and Reprezent, while playing in clubs alongside the likes of Bakey, Dubrunner, Kessler, Otik and Mixtress, trust us when we say she’s one to watch.

Please respect your fellow dancers – all are welcome at Miss World. We operate a safe space policy, and a zero tolerance policy towards homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, ableism, creepiness, or just being a downright shitebag in general. Anyone found to be being a shitebag in any of the above ways will be immediately removed from the premises. Respect your fellow dancers, don’t assume people’s pronouns and keep your hands to yourself (unless you’re given obvious and explicit permission of course)! You can ALWAYS approach Miss World DJs (we’re normally next to the booth) or venue staff if you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. If you have had too much to drink, lost your pals or just want to be around safe people, come and find us to hang out or we can help get you a taxi home. Our bathrooms are gender neutral the night of our event so please respect each other in choosing what feels comfortable.

Sneaky Pete’s is accessible, however there are no accessible toilets – patrons are welcome to use accessible toilets at the Three Sisters just along the Cowgate. Please get in touch with us or Sneaky Pete’s if you have any questions about accessibility in advance of the event.

London desert-rockers The Howlers have quickly identified themselves as one of the UK’s must-see live acts. Gaining much deserved praise from radio royalty including BBC 6 Music, KEXP and BBC Radio 1 for their west coast sun soaked sound earning the band major programming on SoccerAm and Brooklyn 99 and Amazon Prime

Two of Edinburgh’s techno stalwarts, Jon Krieger and ona:v, lock horns for an all night ruckus at Sneaky Pete’s.

Dress to sweat and let loose to a blend of techno, electro, rave, EBM, breaks, industrial and more.

Following their meeting and forming at college in Guildford, via a revelatory FIDLAR gig that made them all re-set their ambitions, Blackwaters decided that the medieval market town had probably had quite enough of their notorious yard parties, house gigs, and general noise and felt it was about time somewhere else had a dose of them.

One glance at the heart-palpitating rental prices and a keen desire not to play the sort of games bands in London are so often forced into sent Max Tanner (vocals), David Carpenter (guitar), Ollie Franklin (bass), and James Watkins (drums) off looking for options. As a result, Sheffield became home.

Blackwaters headstrong approach has seen them set up their own Jarred Up Records as a way of getting their releases out to fans in the form of limited, handmade CDs and vinyl, and have gone on to sign other local bands to their roster. Their Jarred Up Arts Lab is a constantly evolving project that
aims to unite musicians, artists, and creatives of all types to create a cohesive and productive fusion of minds and ideas, similarly to the hubs that spurred on the work of many 1960s dreamers and idealists. Their lifestyle is a ‘live together, drink together, work together, play together’ one, which cements the idea that Blackwaters isn’t a hobby, a pastime, or something to do when they’re bored; it’s the last gang in town, no plan B, backs to the wall, all-in. As it should always be.

Priding themselves on doing things their way rather than the way others might like to map out for them, Blackwaters have become notorious in their adopted home city for their DIY approach. Pop-up shops in their shared house and rammed gigs in their backyard have become the stuff of legend.

Those that manage to ram in gain “I was there when…” bragging rights, as well as being able to shove two-fingers in the face of the “music isn’t exciting these days” nostalgia-vultures who so regularly and eagerly wish to strip the carcass of the past at the expense of the present. Fans of Blackwaters have come from both expected and unexpected places. Legendary producer Youth latched on early, whisking them off to his Space Mountain Studios to work with them on their debut EP, People Street, as well as inviting them along to be special guests on Killing Joke’s UK tour.

Support slots with the Marmozets, DMA’s, and Supergrass have also proved highlights for the band. Given the frenetic, chaotic, volatile, and unpredictable live shows that are Blackwaters calling card, it’s perhaps no surprise that the attention of Carl Barat was caught, getting them along for The Libertines support slots and, along with Olly Burden, working on the tracks Let The Good Times Roll, Down, So Far Out and Fuck Yeah with them.
2021 sees the release of Blackwaters debut album titled, ‘Something Good In Lost Time’ and taking every opportunity they can to push things forward whilst avoiding tired clichés and pitfalls; a job easier said than done in an industry that seems designed to break the minds and spirits of those not
up to the task. It’s getting harder and harder to be free; Blackwaters are here to make it seem not just easy, but a whole lot of fun.
