Liv.e infuses funk, soul and South­ern hip-hop influ­ences on top of hazy lofi pro­duc­tion, while hot Scot­tish tal­ent Sam Gel­laitry has a vivid sound that plays with in-between sounds and hazy disco, layered vocals and jazzy rhythms. Add in a DJ set from the one and only down­tempo, dub, Lat­in and world music maes­tro Night­mares On Wax, plus more from hip hop and soul sing­er, writer and pro­du­cer Emmavie.

On top of that come Eglo label head and eclect­ic select­or Alex­an­der Nut, con­tem­por­ary jazz out­fit Ish­mael Ensemble, broken beat innov­at­or Kaidi Tath­am pairs off with DJ Gilla for a spe­cial DJ set, there will be a live PA from Ingrid All­man (from acclaimed Brit-funk out­fit Freez) plus much more from Akemi Fox, muva of Earth, Sam Gel­laitry, Adi Oas­is, Zakia, Win­nie, Johnny Reck­less, D.
