Mr. Scruff - Keep It Unreal

Ninja Tune artist, cartoonist & veteran selector Mr. Scruff is one of the world’s foremost freestyle DJs. The balding geek will be assisted by a motley bunch of two-dimensional animated potatoes, who will writhe about a bit in time to his fine, across the board music selections.

Ray BLK - Live

Delivering the brash honesty of rap music, with her unique blend of soul and R&B spirit, Ray BLK weaves between genre boundaries borrowing the elements she requires to reach her goals.

At the end of last year Ray released ‘50/50’ - a track that would open up a new chapter in her career. Recently nominated for best newcomer at the 2016 MOBO Awards, Ray was also announced as the winner of the BBC's Sound Of 2017.

Deep Throat Choir

Deep Throat Choir started with a simple desire to get together once a week and raise their voices. Stripping music down to just vocals and drums, they rework the words and melodies of other artists like Sylvan Esso, Electrelane, Wildbirds and Peacedrums, MK, and Amy Winehouse, into something of their own. There were five to begin with and now they are thirty.

Alex Session
