Sam Redmore & The Tropical Soundclash – This hot 7-piece band is driven by Sam Redmore, the renowned club DJ and producer of global music designed especially for the dance floor. His music combines electronic sounds with live instrumentation and takes inspiration from house, disco, broken beat and funk to afro latin styles including afrobeat, salsa and samba.
His masterful debut album was awarded ‘Album of the Week’ on Jazz FM and played on BBC Radio 1 and 6 (almost weekly). Since then, Sam has produced his second very special album, ‘Modulate,’ which involved 36 musicians, including Dele Sosimi, and was released three days ago!
Celebrating the album release on a UK tour, the band presents an insanely groovy live show involving incredible musical talent like MC MR Auden.
Drifty & Kesh – Emerging from Bristol, both Drifty and Kesh are global bass experts and supreme record diggers. Drifty administered his musical expertise as Lost Horizon’s lineup programmer, and his productions include some of our most played global bass tunes. Kesh is one of Bristol’s most topical DJs, running one of the city’s most subscribed and favoured nights, Anexperience, and his own incredible global dance music festival. On a 1.5h B2B, We can expect a selection ranging anywhere between highlife and jungle!
