Nadeem Din-Gabisi

Nadeem Din-Gabisi is a storyteller working in the realms of music, poetry and visual arts.

Nadeem’s work channels his experiences as a British born, second generation immigrant of

Sierra Leonean Krio descent.

Nadeem’s debut album OFFSHORE out now on Moshi Moshi Music tackles themes of

belonging, estrangement and identity with ‘potent streams of consciousness’.

OFFSHORE has received support from BBC 6Music, Byte FM, Somewhere Soul, Apple

Music Playlists, as well as being featured in NPR, Worldwide FM and The Fader’s list of Best

New Albums, The Observer’s, ‘Ones To Watch’, Clash Magazine and included on The

Nadeem’s live shows at Supernormal Festival , The Forge, Lower Third and Great Escape

Festival have showcased his ‘big choruses and big energy which elevate themes of Black

identity, cultural displacement, and spiritual resilience with a refined sense of composition

and arrangement’.

Lifeloose

freaky experimental electronic duo marching through every subgenre of dance music you could ever fricking imagine. heavy bass and stupid rhythms this shit makes you happy as fuck.

Sonotta

Marking their first live performance since relocating to London, enigmatic Stirling born

artist Sonotto enters 2026 following their most prolific year to date.

Their first release of the year, GEN Z, is a six-minute descent into synth-soaked, progressive electronic melancholy, drawing sonic parallels with Tame Impala, The Hellp and LCD Soundsystem. With a self-declared year of “selfless hustle” ahead, Sonotto is already building momentum toward an ambitious breakout year, quickly following it with a second single-the espresso shot of electro-sleaze, IDK WHATS REAL TNGHT.

Charlie Keen’s Silver Birch

Chalie Keen is a talented multi instrumentalist. Inspired by John Martyn, Anthony Braxton, Ravel and the philosophy of Kenny Werner, Charlie Keen’s Silver Birch explores nostalgia and loss with a graceful suspense and introspective resonance. A sort of punctuated meditative state – the sonorous drones of the Shruti box and mournful ambient synth create a reminiscent backcloth to his trombone compositions. At times alarming, at others heartbreakingly sombre and yet somehow never without an enlivening joy, Keens’ trombone playing takes centre stage after years of playing with and for other people including- Keg, Terry Pack’s Tree’s, Skydaddy and Squid.
