“Why: Rhythmic and emotive, the latest track from German producer/composer Josin is truly enveloping. Crafting a sound that is both intense and seductive, ‘Feral Thing’ swirls and sways through its five minute running time. Building with consideration and an adept subtleness, the song flowers into a melancholic and, frankly, beautiful piece of steadily expanding delicateness.” Overblown.co.uk

Dawn (formerly Dawn Richard, D∆WN) is one of music’s most distinctive voices and songwriters, developing her own unique style through a tirelessly independent route.

After cutting her teeth as part of the girl group Danity Kane and the quietly-influential r&b project Dirty Money, DAWN went solo in 2011, building her own self-made infrastructure and honing a style of r&b that she describes as genderless, colourless and genreless. DAWN went on to release the critically acclaimed album trilogy of Goldenheart, Blackheart and Redemption. The trilogy, inspired by everything from experimental electronic music to mythology, garnered her praise in the NY Times, FACT, NME, The Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and many more, while Blackheart reached #2 in the Billboard Dance charts.

Following eighteen months focused on touring Redemption and collaborating – she featured on Dirty Projectors’ 2017 hit single Cool Your Heart, as well as tracks from Kimbra, Jimmy Edgar and Mumdance – DAWN returns this winter with new breed, a new full-length project that sees her return to her birthplace of New Orleans both musically and spiritually, drawing from the city’s rich musical heritage and traditions as well almost two decades of experience as a black independent woman in the music industry.

Daft Funk UK is a professional tribute band embracing the live aspect of Daft Punk’s performances. They incorporate their own custom light shows, including a three-meter high LED pyramid, and use live instruments to give an immersive and dynamic show. Their stage performance is meticulously crafted, paying the utmost homage to the infamous and illusive Robots.

Japanese musician Kenji Suzuki, better known as Damo Suzuki, is best known for his work with the pioneering German group Can. He is a vocalist and improvisational musician whose creative wanderlust has taken him around the world, performing with a dizzying variety of collaborators.

Suzuki had little experience as a musical performer before joining Can in 1970, but his bold, theatrical style and abstract lyrical sensibility put its stamp on three of the group’s most memorable albums (1971’s Tago Mago, 1972’s Ege Bamyasi, and 1973’s Future Days) before he left the group in 1973. A

After a decade away from music, Suzuki returned in 1983, shunning the recording studio in favor of improvised live performances, a number of which have been recorded and released, among them 2000’s Seattle, 2002’s P.R.O.M.I.S.E., and 2007’s The Fire of Heaven at the End of the Universe. Working with established groups as well as ‘sound carriers’ he often has never met before walking on-stage, Suzuki’s music in the 21st century has found him relentlessly exploring the boundaries of spontaneous creativity.
