Latin superstar Daddy Yankee – responsible for the worldwide smash hit ‘Gasonlina’ – will perform his exclusive first ever UK show at the O2 Brixton Academy on October 7th 2010.

DownloadAMixtape.com (DAM) offers a platform for UK artists/DJ/labels to promote themselves and their music, whilst keeping in full control of the content.

Weekly charts will let the industry and the fans know exactly who has the biggest buzz and who’s creating the best music in the UK.
