The event has now made its first artist announcement, confirming Gilles Peterson, Sir David Rodigan, gqom pioneer DJ Lag, the hotly-tipped Sherelle, French producer and Whities affiliate Bambounou, Hyperdub’s Jessy Lanza and multi-instrumentalist Ouri for the line-up.

Furthermore, the festival has curated a programme of talks, panel discussions, workshops and installations themed around important socio-political topics.
