BAILA LA CUMBIA

Bristol’s finest Cumbia and Latin purveyors, this phenomenal 10 piece Cumbia band takes you right back to the dance halls of Colombia, whilst creating an atmosphere which is definitively 21st century.

INDIAN MAN

The Bristol based producer began his journey with his Punjabi Indian roots, which has since expanded to create a melting pot of melodic magic by merging the music of his childhood with the UK sounds of Dub, Garage and Jungle. Starting his career as a live touring musician for the past 10 years dabbling in everything from funk, jazz, and Bhangra, the Indian Man project was born three years ago out of a desire to merge his groundbreaking “East meets West” sound on dancefloors worldwide.

MISS MASH

Miss Mash is sure to take you on a journey through time and space. Her style is fuelled by her own cultural fusions. Although with Serbian roots, her selections span from Creole Grooves, to Arabic Disco, all with heavy doses of Nu Jazz & Reggae. All you can do is expect the unexpected from her.
