    Opening the night, Coco Calypso's high impact underground sets merge Afro-Caribbean and Latin rhythms with bass-heavy club music, gritty electronics, R&B, rap and UK soundsystem groovage. With roots in Martinique and a childhood shaped between Paris and London, her musical language is steeped in diasporic energy, drawing equally from carnival traditions, dancehall, grime, techno and global club hybrids.

    Mauritius-based producer tripes draws on the polyrhythms of the Indian Ocean, bringing elements of traditional Sega and Maloya together with pulses of Angolan kuduro, Moroccan gnawa and South-Indian percussion traditions. These references are then transmogrified into a modern electronic dialect, their rhythms maintaining their ancestral swing and complexity and bolstered with sharp percussive hits, shifting meters, shattered effects and sleek digi-textures.

    Anti Vairas is emerging as a defining voice within singeli, the blisteringly fast, street-forged sound that erupted from Dar es Salaam’s informal studios and dancefloors. The MC and performer rides tempos that barely pause for breath, firing sharp Kiswahili lyrics across hyper-accelerated beats drenched in intensity, humor, and resilience. She's joined by Jay Mitta, a key architect of singeli’s early rise and one of its most imaginative producers. His tracks ride shifting rhythms, layered structures and unexpected grooves that occasionally dip into swing and dub-like atmospheres before snapping back into high-speed motion. 

    The duo of Ken’zii and Koko are the thundering pulse at the cutting edge of Caribbean shatta and bouyon. Since 2010 they’ve been shaking and quaking crowds with relentless percussion and grinding electronic layers. Their emergence from the underground circuits of Guadeloupe to global club institutions traces a lineage of basslines as inheritance and riddims as rebellion. Hymnographers to dance and sex in all its forms, they make those subs strut with a sassy flex.

    Batu has sat at the sharp edge of bass-heavy dance music for over a decade, shaped primarily through his own imprints Timedance and A Long Strange Dream. Reshaping techno and soundsystem language with deliberate focus, he’s guided by evolving concepts and sources of inspiration. Recent releases strip that curiosity back to the core, sharpening the physical charge and immediacy of his dancefloor material.
