Launching their debut party on Saturday 30th April the incredible SEVEN DAVIS JR will headline the night. Raised on the classic vocal sounds of Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin, Seven Davis Jnr developed a deep love for jazz and classical music. The funk and soul spaceman released his stunning debut album ‘Universes’ on Ninja Tune last year with the record being championed as his most honest and heartfelt musical statement to date. Including remixes from Osunlade, Karizma and Brainfeeder (Flying Lotus imprint) alumni – Mono/Poly, Seven has worked with world class artists such as Julio Bashmore, Hot Chip, Steve “Beat” Spacek and more. Having shared stages with everyone from Gilles Peterson to Badbadnotgood he’s also featured in guest mixes on BBC Radio 1 with Benji B and Heidi. Most recently featuring on the Essential Mix alongside Cold Cut (Ninja Tune founders) in celebration of Ninja Tunes 25 year Anniversary he also hosted his first residency at The Nest in London last year.

Joining Seven Davis Jnr will be FOTOMACHINE, head honcho of Technicolour Recordings the fast rising Ninja-Tune imprint. Drawing inspiration from underground dance music with a hint of the offkey he has found fans in Benji B to Fourtet, with the latter requesting a remix from the man himself.Technicolour Recordings have released sought after material from Legowelt, Hieroglyphic Being and Florian Kupfer. Fotomachine will drop his new EP ‘Black Science’ in May via Jheri Tracks/ All City and dabbles in everything from soul-indebted house to deep experimental jams. Manchester based DJ/ producer OLSEN completes the bill in Room One. Making waves with his fusion of jazz and deep house beats, he released his debut album ‘Totoro’ last year on London-based house label Super Recordings (owned by Ninja Tune affiliate Raffertie).

Brighton based DJ and producer KIDEKO will be heading up Room Two, having begun to make a name for himself on the UK underground scene he’s already had well-respected DJs supporting his tunes. With a recent mix on Mistajam’s BBC 1Xtra show, Pete Tong premiering his remix for Toyboy and Robin’s latest single ‘Borrowed’ along with Gorgon City playing his new track ‘Crank It’ at the Mixmag party in Miami Kideko is the hotly tipped name right now. His latest track ‘Crank It’ with fellow Brighton compatriot George Kwali serves up another dose of what he can bring to the dancefloor, and follows his previous release on TMTR, ‘The Jam’, in audacious style.

DJ duo UNDERSTATE have created a buzz with their energetic live sets merging house, techno and bass music.
