Greetings from The Roundhouse in Camden, North London where sounds are being checked, merchandise is being set out, cables are being plugged in and people are being briefed in anticipation of tonight's 1Xtra Electric Proms gig with Dizzee Rascal headlining. I've already checked out the soundcheck and we're in for a real treat. Dizzee, a string orchestra, horn section, backing singers and a full live band:

I'm going to be 100% live from the venue alongside my girl Max bringing you the build up and anticipation for the show then (here's the best bit) we'll be bringing you the show LIVE as it happens direct to your speakers!

I also get the honour of DJ'ing the warm up for the half an hour before Dizzee comes on stage. Check my view of the empty auditorium:
