If it's unique acts you're looking for then stop right here, because this man is almost certainly one of a kind. If you've not heard of him already, Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee is a quite extraordinary talent who beatboxes and plays the flute at the same time. That's right, at the same time. Lee's music takes influences from hip hop and jungle, and some raga-inspired rhythms, and blends them together in a truly haunting array of jazz, funk and Indian melodies. This creates tracks which bristle with originality and creativity and simply ooze skilled musicianship. With 'Belly Of The Beast' out later this year, and collaborations already in the bag with The Prodigy, Foreign Beggars, Nitin Sawhney and Asian Dub Foundation, Lee is building a proud reputation for himself. He's still at his best, though, when performing live where he silences crowds before sending them into frenzy with his breathtaking skill. So, check out the tunes at the MySpace below, but also see if there's an upcoming live date in your neck of the woods.
