Blockhead

Formerly signed to Ninja Tune, Blockhead’s most recent solo album Mortality Is Lit! was released via Future Archive Recordings in November 2024, receiving critical acclaim and coverage from BBC, KEXP, and others. Recent releases also included a collaborative record with Aesop Rock Garbology via Rhymesayers and a rap record The Aux via Backwoodz Studioz. Regarded as one of the modern masters of instrumental hip-hop, Blockhead will present an eclectic live set accompanied by visuals and spanning his prolific 25-year music career.

French beatmaker ProleteR has established himself over the past decade as a leading figure in the international electro, nu-jazz, swing-hop and instrumental hip-hop scenes. Blending vintage jazz samples, boom-bap grooves and electro-soul textures, he has developed a warm, instantly recognizable sound that bridges nostalgia and modernity. With more than 200 million streams worldwide and a devoted audience across Europe, North America and Asia, his music has played a key role in shaping the global identity of swing-infused hip-hop.

Formed in 2006 in Boston and currently based in Berlin, Arms and Sleepers is the electronic trip-hop project of producer Mirza Ramic (formerly a duo with Max Lewis), who has subsequently released 14 full-length albums and 20 EPs of glitched-out grooves that take as much inspiration from leftfield hip-hop experimentalism as they do from the slowburn ambience and panoramic euphoria of contemporary post-rock. Latest studio album What Tomorrow Brings was released via Berlin’s Pelagic Records in March 2024 (with coverage including a front page feature in The New York Times), and 2026 will mark the project’s 20th anniversary.
