WTF? & Beatroot are teaming up once more to bring you another night of smiles & positive vibes. This time we are hosting the incredible Laid Blak along with a host of support in a multi-genre, multi-room extravaganza!

Main Room:

LAID BLAK [DJ & MC]

Laid Blak founders Bunjy & Joe Peng will be joining us in May, Laid Blak have been at the heart of Bristol's urban reggae scene for over half a decade, drawing inspiration and energy from their home city, and using this to fuel the gigs and releases that have gained them a cult local following. Now the rest of the world is taking notice, resulting in support slots with international stars such as Aswad, Nitin Sawhney and Julian Marley.

OneLion Sound Takeover

Without a doubt the biggest in the game for UK Hip Hop across the deep Southwest with events popping off for the past eight years, now after beginning the journey into the record label side of things, OneLion are rapidly becoming a name to be reckoned with in the Music scene so watch for these guys! DJ and MCs for the night will be announced prior to the event

Lunar Cartel

After completely smashing their first performance for us at the last event, we’ve decided it’d be a silly move to not invite this Shire-born, Bristol-based, badman duo back down to perform the fresh sound they have to offer. Expect some unheard material as they continue to produce tracks for their forthcoming EP dropping some time in July!

DJ Purple Rabbit

Fresh from Goa with a load of reggae & jungle to serve up for your listening pleasure, Purple Rabbit knows how to rock a crowd, catch his weekly radio show on Phonic FM Thursdays 6-8pm

Room Two:

DEPHICIT & SUMMER BRIGHT

With a formidable blend of turntablism & live saxophone, Dephicit and Summer Bright are taking the underground head on with their finely tuned glitch & ghetto-funk sound, bridging raw jazz, funk and swing elements with alien basslines and rawkus beats.

This dynamic duo have taken their stomping ground by force, performing in the UK and Europe, supporting local and international heavy hitters such as Slamboree, Featurecast, Skope, Gypsy Disco, Hong Kong Ping Pong, Itchy and Skratchy, Opiuo, Stickybudz, and Wolfie Razzmatazz.
