Renegade party starters Dub Pistols have been in the game for nearly 20 years, blending hip-hop, dub, techno and ska into a hedonistic brew all of their own.

Along with contemporaries the Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, they surfed the late nineties big beat wave with tracks like Cyclone, Westway and There's Gonna Be A Riot before swerving into more political territory with their 2001 album Six Million Ways To Live.

Remixing duties have seen them put their stamp on a diverse slew of artists from Moby to Limp Bizkit to Busta Rhymes while on-stage, they are regularly joined by The Specials’ Neville Staple and Terry Hall.

Watch them perform the track Bad Card live at PRS for Music’s new Kings Cross HQ:
