Ellen Beth Abdi
-
Manchester's very own musical songstress has nurtured her own take of soul, pop, r&b, jazz, and broken beat which accompanies her poignant and explorative lyrics, inquisitively sharing enchanting narratives from her own point of view.

Ellen's combination of musicality, love for her local community, and warm grooves, have gained her the respect and recognition from peers in Manchester such as 808 State, New Order, and A Certain Ratio, as well as from inspiring acts like Ishmael Ensemble, Angélique Kidjo, and Allysha Joy; and her celebrated self-released album is one not to miss!

Charlie Boy Manson
-
Charlie Boy Manson continues to flourish in his artistry and influence across the UK's north-west, blending contemporary rap and grime with a nod to classic hip-hop and beat music. And his talents are multi-faceted; co-managing the respected 'Stage & Radio' in Manchester's popular Northern Quarter, the driving force behind his own 'Rotten Life Records' imprint, co-founding the esteemed 'Loose Lips' editorial and label, as well as representing the energetic sound of Manchester's musical identity.

A wordsmith and MC by nature, 'Charlie Boy Manson' specialises in captivating story-telling and rhythmic wordplay, intricately threading his personal experiences with insightful thoughts on life, art, and culture.

Emziii
-
Emziii is a Belfast-based producer, DJ, vocalist, and songwriter, and well-versed across a wide-range of genres, having laid her musical foundations in jazz, hip-hop, and soul, before developing her futuristic fusion of UKG, breakbeat, vocal-led dance music. Emziii's delicate sounding yet powerfully emotive productions are meditative as much as they are euphoric.

Previous material journeyed through earlier jazz-influences on her acclaimed debut LP 'Moon Jazz', whereas now you can expect to hear more club leaning music with upfront beats leading the way.
