“2/22 (two-twenty-two) are one of the hottest jazz ensembles to emerge from the rehearsal rooms of Leeds Conservatoire in the last 18 months. Influenced by the likes of Yussef Kamaal/Butcher Brown/Alfa Mist, 2/22 blend jazz with a multitude of genres, consistently keeping energy, emotion and infectious rhythm at the forefront. This is definitely "jazz in the present tense". They began in their second year at the music conservatoire. 
 
Since live music came back last summer, they've played sold out/packed events at Hyde Park Book Club, Smokestack, The Wardrobe as well as supporting London's explosive uk jazz giants Steamdown at Headrow House and Nubiyan Twist on their Freedom Fables album tour in Huddersfield. On a monday night in November, they headlined Brudenell Social Club and put 200 people into the main room, a phenomenal achievement for a band so early on in their journey. 
 
That same month, they also released their debut single "Opal", a killer slice of jazz improvisation and broken beat madness. It made it onto the BBC Introducing (West Yorkshire) "Best Of 2021" list. With a new single dropping in the summer and their debut EP later in the year, plus more heavy shows in Leeds and beyond in the next 6 months, 2022 will definitely be the breakout year for 2/22.”

2/22 are: Taye George-drums, Ruben Maric-keys, Theo Wells-George-bass guitar, Conor Thomas-electric guitar, Joe Van Der Meulen-tenor sax, Emyr Penry Dance-trumpet

Rue, the English songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist, unveils a signature blend of soulful vocals and rhythmic guitar playing, adorned with a captivating jazz essence. She has been described as “a future star” by Dart Music Festival.

Blending a multitude of genres including jazz, rnb, neo-soul and funk, her dynamic single 'Lucid' received outstanding support from leading radio station Jazz FM. Rue draws inspiration from artists old and new, including Hiatus Kaiyote, Maddison Cunningham, Kimbra & Jamiroquai.

Through her own headline shows at stellar venues including Cheltenham Festival Jazz Arena, Pizza Express Jazz Club London, Patchwork Studios and festival performances at Boardmasters, Leopallooza and The Great Escape to name a few, she has established herself as one of the south-west's must see live acts, flying solo or with her band.

Opening the stage for afro jazz nine piece Nubiyan Twist in 2022, Rue has supported a range of major artists such as Keane, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, Newton Faulkner and James Arthur. A seasoned performer who has worked with BBC Radio & Television, she has also worked with Sennheiser, and has appeared on multiple live streamed shows including The Nub Sessions.

Launched in 2010, THE REFLEX is a project from producer / DJ Nicolas Laugier, a French national based in the UK since 1998. Following on the footsteps of remix / DJ edit pioneers Larry Levan, Shep Pettibone, François Kevorkian or John Luongo, The Reflex somewhat redefined the remix rules book by using stems and multitracks to craft fresh, innovative versions (dubbed ’revisions’) from classics tracks and artists, genre-hopping through the decades and styles with ease, combining creativity and functionality with often spectacular results.
With constant support from superstar DJs, tastemakers, A-list artists and creatives to high profile brands / events through to bedroom DJ’s, The Reflex revisions are now part of the musical landscape.

Clocking over 100M+ streams, The Reflex is a multi-faceted artist that has lent his skills to ads for Louis Vuitton, Karl Lagerfeld, to remixes for the biggest names in pop and dance music, to extensive catalogue revisits for the likes of London Records, Salsoul/Westend and Zagora/Because, to a long standing collaboration with Noel Gallagher and to legendary artists like Joe Walsh (Eagles), Cerrone, Kathy Sledge, Blondie, Michel Polnareff, Nile Rodgers, Rita Lee, Kid Creole and more.
Boasting a strong online following and a loyal fanbase, including 322,000+ fans on YouTube, The Reflex is now ready to move into original productions; his first artist track “Weekend” has been snapped up by Glitterbox for release in May, with Ibiza / Malta gigs and a Defected Basement mix lined up to support the arrival of this first single.
On his own vinyl label Discolidays, The Reflex has collaborated with Because Music in Paris re-imagining the catalogue from (Daft Punk) Thomas Bangalter’s father, Daniel Vangarde, and his label Zagora while showcasing his remix work for Cerrone, Patrice Rushen, D.C. LaRue, Nile Rodgers ft Nubiyan Twist, Bruise and others to commercial and critical acclaim.

As a DJ, The Reflex sets are energy-packed workouts firmly rooted into disco / house / balearic territory somewhere between trainspotters’ paradise and revision anthems, with an ability to adapt to audiences and venues through his 20+ years DJ experience.

-----------

Originating from the sleepy flatlands of Suffolk 'Bristletone' has been producing mind-bendingly innovative electronic music for many years. Effortlessly merging the heaviest of electro bass lines with haunting melodies, funky grooves, glitch wizardry, intricately driving beats and a cheeky sense of humour, 'Bristletone' will undoubtedly get your head nodding, toes tapping and face melting to his filthily delectable music. 'Attempts at good things' draws influences from World Music, IDM, Big Beat, Glitch Hop, Drumstep, Electro Breaks and beyond. Imagine a love child of Aphex Twin, Noisia, Tipper & Amon Tobin and you will get a sense of how this long awaited album contains something for every electronic music lover.

Rapper, producer, firestarter. Songwriter, multi instrumentalist, raconteur… Dizraeli is a genre of his own. From his cult debut album Engurland / City Shanties (2009) to the explosive new LP Joy Machine (2024) with its visionary mixture of hiphop, post-punk and jazz, Diz has always forged his own way.

A former resident of the legendary Total Refreshment Centre, Dizraeli’s new album Joy Machine was recorded there in a single day, bringing together some of the most exciting musicians in London’s jazz explosion. 

With features from Alabaster DePlume and trumpeter Jonathon Enser (Nubiyan Twist), drums from Ben Brown (Alfa Mist, Mulatu Astatke), bass from uk jazz scene favourite Daisy George, synths from Joseph Costi (Yusef Cat Stevens) and saxophone from free jazzer Ronan Perrett, Joy Machine has already made waves since its release on Def Pressé this summer, including Bandcamp Album Of The Day, 4 stars from Mojo and repeated support from Gilles Peterson.

The album tour hit 15 UK cities and festivals including Boomtown, Boardmasters, WOMAD and Shambala, cementing Dizraeli’s reputation as an explosive and masterful live performer with backing from Ben Brown, Ronan Perrett and Snazzback’s Rich Allen on bass.
