Steffan and Gwion are a duo of electronica producers hailing all the way from Wales. We have the pleasure of having them both playing for you at this and it’s going to be a stomper! Steffan is best known for being the lead vocalist for campus sensation Dandy & DeLions, however he has DJ’ed on the side for quite a while at various house parties and, more recently Mass. Gwion has been taking his hometown by storm by running two major nights. Described as a multi genre madman, he can take the audience on a journey spanning from funk to house to footwork and anything in-between. Expect some mad mixes with heavy basslines.
Habitual
Habitual is a DJ based in York and hailing from London’s deep south. Growing up on a healthy diet of hip hop, UK Bass and electro, Habitual’s knack for syncopated, tribal rhythms and a sound blending London and Detroit will be an experience for your ears and your feet.
