SORRDES

He draws influence from electronic artists like Four Tet, Bonobo, Gold Panda & Shigeto to leftfield hip hop producers such as Flying Lotus & Madlib. He has collaborated with a number of local artists including Phil Jackson, Booda French, Brooches, Rafiki, Girl in a Gale & Eff Ghano. He released his debut album Strange Hymns in February 2018, blending live & programmed drums with ethereal pads, samples & melodic synths and is currently finishing a new EP to be released in the coming weeks.

RAFIKI
A Trip Hop/Electronic producer who has stepped away from his early Hip Hop producing roots and moved onto a more chilled out/wavy movement. When not making beats he regularly DJ's and works with other like minded producers and artists. In August this year he released a new 10-track album “The Sound In My Head”. The record has a firm foundation of bass-music while drifting between Sunday-afternoon downtempo to Friday-night trap all combined with a subtly tribal set of rhythms and samples.

Influenced by artists such as Nick Murphy, Sampha, Jack garratt and Bloc Party, his style lies somewhere between ambient pop and indie-electronica. He studied music technology at Suffolk New College and is now studying a BA(Hons) in music production and sound engineering at Point Blank Music School in London.
