LIVE ONSTAGE:
GAGADILO
Based in the French Alps, Gagadilo is an explosive mixture of Jamaican rhythms and Afro-Balkan melodies, with added overtones from the Mediterranean and a touch of cool jazz. With over 200 gigs in France and Europe under their belt, they are celebrating the release of their new album, Skafrobalkanik Jazz Project, featuring euphoniums, trumpets and trombones. Their music is a unique cocktail of East and West – think spices and vodka!
Gagadilo are going places fast and this is one of the few chances to catch them on their British tour.
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:
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.
NIPSLA (Falling over studios)
Packing more pop than a Rice Krispies factory, Nipsla's DJ bag is a veritable jumble sale of joy, overflowing with indie, dance, electro and party tunes.
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.
