LIVE MUSIC:
‘Soulful, sinuous and a bit jazzy’: London-based band @thegrovethegrove are making their mark on the local music scene and beyond. The 7-piece band offer an innovative sound that merges soulful vocals with eclectic sonic concoctions of jazz, funk, hip-hop and indie, all wrapped up within a catchy songwriting prowess.
Singer-songwriter/music producer @misbahaviorrr is from Lahore, Pakistan and based in London, UK. His music is an exploration of feelings of loss, nostalgia, existential dread, wonder and love swirling over dreamy and spacey sounds created using synths from the 80's, analogue effect pedals and layered vocals.
DJs:
Hailing from London, @polyphemus_ic is a DJ, producer, organiser, and activist, conjuring soundscapes as enigmatic as their mythic moniker suggests. Polyphemus has etched his presence across the city through residencies at hard [drive] and Drum Bus, and radio takeovers on Rinse, Subtle, Aaja and Voices. He has released music with labels such as Aeronema, Pollination and Nehza Records, channelling a dizzying fusion of warped melodies and machine-driven grooves.
Collective @melt_my_heartz throw welcoming, intimate parties in London and beyond. They came together through the celebrated Sunday Loft gatherings in the spirit of seminal host and DJ David Mancuso. They’ve been blowing up balloons and rigging up audiophile sound systems for over 7 years, and the attention to detail is something that inspired them to take their own adventures in sound. They throw open, explorative dances under a glistening disco ball.
Straight out of Calais with hard breaks, funcore and deconstructed dancefloor, @loupblaster and DJ @i.d.check will bring their high-bpm energy across the channel. They believe music, art and joy are crucial to the struggle and help to create bonds of solidarity.
