These latest names bring more music­al good­ness with acclaimed Brit­ish jazz quin­tet Ezra Col­lect­ive lead­ing the charge with their innov­at­ive fusion sounds. Fea­tur­ing bandlead­er Femi Koleoso, bassist TJ Koleoso, key­board­ist Joe Armon-Jones, trum­peter Ife Ogun­jobi, and ten­or sax­o­phon­ist James Mol­lis­on the group has a real chem­istry built up over years of play­ing live togeth­er. They’re as able to pump a dance floor as they are to offer suave home listen­ing soundtracks so expect a flu­id music­al trip from this influ­en­tial Lon­don out­fit whose second album in 2022 saw them reach crit­ic­ally acclaimed new heights.

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. Vyzor, The Style Sib­lings, Abi Clarke, The Shejay, Mr Thing, Vanessa Free­man & Lyr­ic L plus DJ Dibs and Disco Ballin’.
