2.Giraffage and Daktyl at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen – Tuesday 16th August

San Francisco producer Charlie Yin has made quite a name for himself turning bedroom beats into dance floor staples as Giraffage. His beloved R&B remixes and vibe-laden solo tracks have won early praise from Pitchfork, The Fader, XLR8R and other tastemakers and his lush, bass-driven performances are deservedly hyped.
Daktyl uses his multi-instrumentalist talents and diverse musical background to make insane beat-driven grooves which completely disregard the confines of a single genre. He was recently given a coveted Artists To Watch title by Rolling stone magazine and his track ‘Forgettable’ was Zane Lowe’s Next Hype and it one of the only UK artists on Diplo’s L.A based, Mad Decent imprint.

4. Room4Movement at The Book Club with Seiji and Dego – Bank Holiday Sunday 28th August

Jazz re:freshed return East to present a Room4Movement Bank Holiday Sunday Special as they continue to join the dots between Jazz, Soul, Electronica, broken beat, hip-hop and more, putting jazz related music back onto the dance floor.

 Dego (2000Black / 4hero) is one of London’s current and most relevant musical pioneers and has had an immeasurable influence on the UK dance and electronica music scene spanning the 90s and early noughties. Words like ‘pioneer’, ‘visionary’ and ‘tastemaker’ are often used to describe him. “Dego is one the most influential figures in music in this city and in this country,” says BBC Radio 1’s Benji B.

Japan’s Seiji is one of the founding fathers of broken beat legends Bugz in the Attic, and famed for his incredible remixes of Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu and Quantic as well as fusing a host of soulful sounds with hard beats.
