LIVE ONSTAGE:
LYKEZ
"Set to follow Dizzee Rascal and Wiley into the big league" - Dazed & Confused
At 19, Lykez has already recorded with Malachi of The Dungeon Family in Atlanta, supported Method Man / Redman on UK dates and played Glastonbury, T in the Park, Underage, Big Chill and Hip Hop Kemp.
Her debut album 'Lykez, Camera, Action!' is complete, produced by John Hendicott (Chipmunk, Pink Punk, Jamie Woon) and Jay Entiknap (Keytar for Alice Russell, Executivce Producer London Urban Collective 2010).
Radio airplay includes Choice FM (Phoebe One), BBC Asian Network (Foreign Beggars), Kiss (Logan Sama) and BBC Radio One (Zane Lowe and Rob Da Bank) while her debut video, Tryna Get To Da Booth, made it to MTV Base and MTV Europe.
One of the country's most versatile breakthrough artists, Lykez and her band can rock out heavy, smash a live hip hop set and fill the dance floor with pumping electro pop beats.
SANJURO
A lurching feast of Flamenco to Irish jigs mixed up with crowd-rousing waltzes, shanties and ballads.
"Folk rock gypsy French band with an accordion player and a fiddle who are quite clearly bonkers."
"Jumping up and down Romany madness... delightful!"
"These guys lurch from Flamenco to Irish Jig in the blink of an eye with their repertoire of waltzes, shanties and ballads - and it works a treat"
OLOS
Slamming hip-hop/grime from one of London Urban Collective's finest - don't miss it!
MULTIMEDIA
Original photos, old footage, pop 45 sleeves, and more.
DJS!
We'll also have a full crew of hard-drinking Offline regulars throwing down a top selection of tunes, including:
LANG & LOPEZ (The Actionettes)
A glorious celebration of 50s, 60s, Motown and obscure dance tunes from the Actionettes' very own Glamour Queens of Vintage Vinyl.
EDITOR (urban75)
An ale-fuelled onslaught of ska, punk, rock'n'roll, big band, rockabilly, Mrs Mills & Liberace in a floor stomping package proving that drinking'n'DJing can be a perilous trade.
BARON BOBBY BAUHAUS (charcoal soul)
More mysterious than Robert Smith's eyeliner bag, Bobby gets dancefloors rocking with quirky, darkside indie-pop and kohl-smudging breakbeats.
