DJs JON MORE & MATT BLACK are the founders of Ninja Tune Records. The iconic Ninja Tune label features a constantly growing roster of amazing electronic music from the melodically industrial drum n bass of Amin Tobin to the colorful funk of Mr Scruff and the masterfully textured grooves of Bonobo.
Drawing on this huge range of peers and influences, label founders Jon & Matt will bring their eclectic mash-up of hip-hop, breaks, electro and jazz for a very special DJ set.
RESIS’DANCE are a diverse group of women taking hold of the tech and decks, smashing the patriarchy and supporting under funded radical grassroots organisations. Resis’Dance will be bringing their infectious dancefloor sounds from house and garage to soca and afrobeats.
