NYE: Where It All Begins

K.O.G

Kweku Sackey aka K.O.G (Kweku of Ghana) is a multi-dimensional creative force, combining exquisite writing skills with shamanistic live performance, fierce raps, perfectly on-pitch singing across a massive vocal range and some absolutely wicked dance moves. Not to mention his skills as a percussionist, arranger, bandleader and art director. A true poet and storyteller, he uses a mix of English, Pidgin and Ga to paint sonic pictures that reach deep into the souls of everyone ready to listen.

“Ghana’s finest” — Jools Holland

JAMU

Ft. Binbags, Dur Brain, MĀDŁY, Speaka DaDevil, Mr Bon Suis & The Horn Dogs. JAMU samples genres from around the world, with classic hip-hop tracks, to create a cleverly constructed showcase which includes reggae, jazz, dub and swing, trip-hop, with nods to drum and bass and other bass-driven music.

CONN3CT

Ft. Aziza Jaye, Amy True & MĀDŁY. The project born out of a desire to connect souls, connect musical heritage, connect powerful female spirit, connect audiences, and collectively share the energy that each of these unique performers bring in one monumental 90-minute show featuring Bristol’s MĀDŁY, London’s Amy True, and Sheffield’s very own Aziza Jaye. See the incredible Conn3ct House band transform live on stage from a Hip-Hop band to a Neo Soul band, to an Afro-Jazz band, as we take you on a musical journey steeped in outrageous vocal prowess, virtuosic musicianship, and deep emotional connection.

DJ Hiphoppapotamus

Sunshine music for the masses. The happy hippo always brings the sunshine no matter what the weather. This DJ/producer has created his own unique party vibe by infusing Afro, Latin and Caribbean music into his tastefully produced selections of Breaks, House, Drum & Bass/Jungle and Hip-Hop, resulting in pure feel-good sunshine party music designed to move your feet and uplift your soul. Over his 10 years of releasing music he has garnered praise from icons such as Sir David Rodigan, Don Letts, Craig Charles & Jeremiah Asiamiah, who’ve played his tracks on BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra and BBC Radio 6.

“Clever stuff right!? … Very cool” — Sir David Rodigan, BBC 1Xtra

Selecta Si Chai

To say his taste is eclectic would be an understatement. To say his thirst for discovering new independent and emerging artists will never be quenched is a staggering truth, but one that rings true even after 25 years of support for grassroots culture. The result is an encyclopaedic knowledge of an enormous catalogue of utter bangers, curating spaces as a direct reaction to the mood, energy levels, and vibes of the audience before him. You never know what you’re gonna get, but it will be quality, soulful, transcendent, and definitely a party.
