About
Get in the festival spirit for a party like no other. From Afrohouse to Balkan brass, salsa to ska, funk to soca, expect a full-spectrum dancefloor journey. Live sets come from Hazel Mak and the Trans-Siberian March Band, with DJ Jamie Renton taking it late. This is a fundraiser for the Lion Project in Malawi, supporting free reconstructive surgery for road traffic accident victims. Hazel Mak is an award-winning Malawian artist and founder of Malawian Girls Rock. Her Afrohouse sound blends soulful vocals with South African house rhythms. An Afrima winner for ‘Best African Act in Diaspora’, her recent releases have landed on BBC 1Xtra, building momentum ahead of her upcoming album. The Trans-Siberian March Band bring a wild, high-energy mix of Balkan, Turkish and Eastern European sounds, fusing brass, percussion and vocals into a full-throttle live show. Festival favourites, they have played everywhere from Glastonbury to the Royal Albert Hall. DJ Jamie Renton delivers a global club set, moving through reggae, Balkan beats, salsa, ska, funk, soca and beyond. Expect high energy and serious movement all night. **ENTRY** - Limited £5/£7 advance via DICE (before 10pm) - Free before 9pm - £10 on the door (after 9pm) - Last entry 1am
