With performances from
MRGD
Born in Cardiff, but now residing in South East London, MRGD provides alternative electronic R&B. MRGD finds inspiration in artists such as Jeff Buckley, Sade and Princess Nokia. Her love for improvisation has given her the freedom to author and perform according to her own rules, often writing and performing unrehearsed vocal material. As an active feminist, she has a deep rooted passion for writing about women’s rights, and often draws from her own experiences that she feels obliged to, and feels are important to share.
Tony Njoku
Tony is a British-Nigerian electronic music producer and singer-songwriter from London. His self-penned and produced songs have been described as 'strikingly evocative soundscapes, managing to make even the shortest pop songs sound like epic adventures.' Tony released his debut album ‘In Greyscale' in June 2016, which has quite a lot of positive acclaim since. Leading to him playing the main stage at this years Green Man Festival (which was considered a highlight by many viewers including Huw Stephens of BBC1) after being picked by a panel of judges (that included industry types like Matt Wilkinson (NME), Tom Ravenscroft (6music) and others) to win their Green Man Rising competition.
Gaspar Narby
Gaspar Narby was born in Switzerland in 1996. After playing in multiple acoustic bands and making a name for himself locally, he started building a home studio, aged 15, with the money earned from selling CDs. It was Franz Treichler, the frontman of the sampling pioneers The Young Gods, who showed him the infinite possibilities of electronic music. From then on, Gaspar’s process stayed the same: record sounds of the world, from birds in the Amazon, captured during trips with his anthropologist father, to the voice of his girlfriend, and blend them with traditional instruments to create a semi-contemplative, semi-danceable electronica.
