Jon Sterckx - Drumscapes
Drumscapes is a unique solo performance by world music percussionist Jon Sterckx. Jon skilfully brings percussion from across the globe together with 21st century technology - all instruments are played, sampled, mixed & processed live on stage in a synthesis of traditional musicianship and live electronics. The result is a unique blend of rhythmic soundscapes, bouncy world rhythms & high energy drumming.


Arhai
Arhai is a unique fusion of electronic music with folk influences from both the UK and Balkan regions. Rooted deep in traditional song, originally probably sung raw and rough by village women at work, Arhai’s skill is to bring this music to a contemporary audience, slipped in unawares. If the term Balkan Folktronica doesn’t capture the breadth of their sound, which absorbs influences from as far as India and Turkey, Sephardic Ladino, Renaissance and Irish music, it’s probably one that’ll stick. Arhai will be joined by Jon Sterckx on percussion.


DJ Ritu
Pioneering global grooves guru, turntablist & BBC presenter, DJ Ritu has been active on the British and international club scene for 27 years. Her hugely popular Saturday night show, A World in London, inherited from Charlie Gillett and now at SOAS Radio, together with her longrunning BBC3 Counties programme, are broadcasting gems. Specialising in music from Africa, the Middle East, Mediterranean, Asia, and Latin America, plus a hefty dose of western underground and pop styles 60’s onwards, DJ Ritu has performed in over 30 countries and is the ultimate musical chameleon.
