Ancient Heat is a large ensemble dance band, formed in 2010 by bassist and producer Brendan Grubb. The 10-piece powerhouse revels in an exhilarating mixture of west coast funk, disco, and R&B, merged with the infectious polyrhythms of African pop and a healthy dose of psychedelia. While Grubb will confess major affection for more mainstream disco divas, his orchestration in Ancient Heat is decidedly experimental and daring.

In the world of Ancient Heat, disco is not a genre but a force of nature. As their name suggests, the band seems to have tapped into a secret primordial well of funky sensualism, working their alchemic magic for the dancefloor and turning all that glitters into gold. In both their exuberant re-contextualization of classic works and their own inventive compositions, they convey an unpretentious style and a deep sincerity. This is a group with their feet on the ground, ditching the irony, egos, and iciness of more slick Italo disco.

Instead, they bring us a west coast approach, with an earthy harmony about them that recalls the deep awe of the forest more so than the glitz of the club. The group dresses in all white for their compelling live performances, leading the local press to label these magic-makers: “a cross between Abba and The Children of God.” It’s a spectacle of skilled musicianship and ecstatic theatrics that you’ll need to see to believe….

We are not squirrels who disband in disallegiance and toil purposelessly, nor are we moles who shall never see the light of day. We are not dogs, who never remember. We are not elephants, who never forget. We are trees. We are trees who never fall.

Dubbed the "UK's queen of jazz-fusion", Emily Saunders balances her virtuosity and adventurous musicianship of the highest order with a catchy pop sensibility that sees her voice dance around infectious tunes that worm their way into your brain and stay there. As a socially conscious wordsmith and supremely talented songwriter, many of her songs reflect on society, the fragility of people and the strength of connectivity, oozing hazy sunshiny days and hot sultry nights. Her heady mix of Latin-infused hip swaying grooves, with driving basslines, infectious melodies, and edges of drum ‘n’ bass, pronounce Saunders as “one for the jazz dance clubs” (Gilles Peterson, BBC 6Music).

Wagner Ribeiro De Souza AKA DJ Patife (the ‘scoundrel’) was born and
raised in Brazil's music and clubbing capital São Paulo. He started out
as a DJ in a local Hip Hop band, having been influenced by Sound
System and Hip Hop culture, before falling in love with Jungle and
Drum & Bass in the mid-nineties.
A Brazilian Drum & Bass legend, he has played the globe: from WMC
(USA), SUNANDBASS (Sardinia), Exit (Serbia), Glastonbury and
Womad (UK), Skolbeats (Brazil), Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland),
to Sonar Festival (Spain).
As a producer, Patife is best known for 'Sambassim Remix', by Fernanda Porto that played by Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier and Andy C. It also won 'Best Dance Music
Video' award at the MTV Video Music Awards in Brazil. But it was his
part on the Brasil EP on V recordings, that rubber stamped his arrival.
It’s the ability to cross-over genres; from D & B to the jazz scene, that
sets him apart. A resident at many a legendary Drum & Bass club
night, he’s never been pigeon-holed by his great love for the genre
and continues to make noise from WOMAD to Worldwide Festival.
His latest releases includes: Viva Brazil compilation (w/ SUNANDBASS
Festival (Sardinia), ‘I Will’ feat. Vangeliez & DRS and ‘Living Together’
EP feat. MC Fats & Stamina MC.
