INFO ON ARTISTS:
ADF Soundsystem - http://www.asiandubfoundation.com
Their distinctive sound is a combination of hard ragga-jungle rhythms, indo-dub basslines, searing sitar- inspired guitars and 'traditional' sounds gleaned from their parents' record collections, shot through with fast-chat conscious lyrics.
Rhythms of Resistance - www.rhythmsofresistance.co.uk
A political samba band that plays at demonstrations and direct actions. Consisting of a fluid number of members from all walks of life, they aim to bring music and noise to some of the more serious and pressing issues of life.
Dhol Foundation - http://www.dholfoundation.com/
Led by Johnny Kalsi, key drummer for the Afro Celt Sound System, Dhol Foundation creates an intense mix of rhythm and sound via bhangra, dance, and electronica - feeding the energy of the urban clubs with their own Punjabi spirit. Kalsi, using the loud, open tone of the dhol drum has developed a style of powering big beats and dynamics - a style that has come to dominate the bhangra and Asian-crossover scene.

From the infamous Transglobal Underground comes DJ Mantu with an Eastern inspired set. Mantu recently headlined a NYE party in Prague!

B-loco
Born in June 2004, b-loco was created to forge an original musical identity. The group's sound is rooted in the diverse instruments and techniques of Brazilian & 'world' percussion, ranging from the modern sound of Rio's Samba School Baterias to West African Yoruba tradition. Disregarding stylistic boundaries, a typical b-loco performance could include hard incisive urban funk, guest MC's, Brazilian carnival Samba, rootsy African song, or even a classic dance-floor anthem
