Nomad Collective
Driven by many musical influences from near and far, Nomad Collective have a unique approach to their music which is evident in their distinct sound.

Their latest album Soundscapes of a Bedouin Rudeboy shows this cultural fusion.

Rags Rudi
East London's Rags Rudi is a six piece ensemble playing a head-nodding, feet-sparking cocktail of ska, hip-hop, dub and punk. Rags Rudi have played across the UK at festivals, events, club nights, squat parties, and on the street.

Hot Border Special
Hot Border Special are a killer live band with tight musicianship - they are raw, rootsy and have heavy percussion and rhythms that underpin their lush interwoven guitar melodies. With Influences ranging from afrobeat to rock, highlife to funk, and even a hint towards samba, listening serves to affirm their effortlessness.

Teleseen
With inspiration taken from traveling between Brazil, Africa and the US, Teleseen stitches a strikingly original blend of old and new sounds into a danceable mix. The primary project of producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ Gabriel Cyr draws on a wide range of collaborators, to create productions that make equal use of programming and live instrumentation.

Out and Down
London-based DJ collective playing an eclectic mix of house party music; from hip hop and house, to disco and dancehall.
