-----------------------------GypsyUnit-----------------------------
Pioneers of the 'Gyp-Hop' sound, full of character and bouncy basslines, Gypsy Unit are definitely not your run-of-the-mill hip-hop act. Combining a rowdy, cheeky party vibe with a quirky string section and hooky choruses, their trademark sound makes them one of the freshest acts to hit the scene.
Pioneering the Gyp-Hop sound, these guys have been in heavy demand ever since they first started gigging to date, they have graced big stages at festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and Shambala as well as a host of sold out club gigs along the way. Throughout the last 2 years, the guys have been at the forefront of the scene, with regular support from specialist play on BBC Radio 1 & BBC Radio 1Xtra, a packed out tour calendar and a consistently top-notch musical output unmatched by their peers.
Recently signed to SIKA records, the guys have just dropped their official debut album ‘Mild Mild West’. With their high energy live performances and instantly catchy tracks, they are sure to make you groove.
Their first ever official album has all the classic Gypsy Unit trademark sounds, fat beats, witty lyrics, melodic choruses, heavy beats and top notch production and with popular classics from “Sorry Mr Police Man” to brand new booty-shaking Bassline tracks, this album is definitely a winner!

------------------Trafic MC / Octo Pi / Twitchee Cordz--------------
MC that loves DnB and Hip Hop, representing a whole heap of crews. Get your skank out!
This is The Highway Code...
Aspiring to the heights of the high, Trafic MC is spitting and emitting some new vibes into the Bristol and UK underground music scene right now. Musically involved from a young age, and sharing a love of rap with his mum, Trafic has held those lyricists capable of telling their story and emblazoning it upon your ears and your mind’s eye, in the highest regard. Maturing as an artist, alongside his brothers in beats of the Liquifyah fam, he is setting a new standard. Consistently engaging and creating, it’s easy to see why this ball of effervescent energy has gone from rhyming for free 3 years ago at a mate’s night, to becoming a sought after Host and MC at nights and festivals across the UK.
His intricate intonations and original prose allow Trafic to create a vibe, that not only makes you smile, think and consider yourself; but also has a cheeky little wink at life, not taking it too seriously. Playing alongside top drum and bass DJs in the scene right now like Noisia, Calyx and Teebee, Hybrid Minds, LSB and Hazard, and local viper-signed talent like Octo Pi, “if you’re not skanking please continue walking” and other signature bars can be heard in a timely and enhancing delivery, resulting in very hyped up and happy crowds of ravers.
Releasing his first hip-hop album ‘Spaghetti Junction’ in December 2015, Trafic encompassed his capabilities as a promoter, producer and performer, to supply a night that quite simply, “went off”. Joining two of his lyrical idols and headliners Dead Players on stage for ‘Yeah’, Mr Trafic was overcome by the love and appreciation exuding from the whole audience for the entire night. Spurred on by this he is currently releasing his next project, D.I.B, crafted with his co-rhymer, Twitchee Chordz, and producer Alexi. This second album is further lasting proof that this friendly, frolicking fireball of personality is no longer making ripples in the music scene, but beginning to make waves amongst ravers.
-------------------------Lounge Cat Ideals-------------------------
Lounge Cat Ideals' Uptempo Swing sound pits riotous clarinet lines against delicate vocal harmonies, whilst drawing on the innate energy of Ska and Gypsy Jazz to keep feet moving.
The band was born in the midst of a biting Bristolian winter when a rag-tag kindle of kittens huddled round a wood fire and began making their first primitive sounds to keep their tiny paws from shivering. Now, as a fully formed 6 piece ensemble, the Cats have grown to forge their own sound as well as a stomping live show, venturing to many a welcoming venue across the UK.
Lounge Cats have quickly become festival regulars, appearing at Glastonbury, Boomtown Fair, Bearded Theory, and Maui Waui to name but a few.
'The Circus is Real' EP was released in 2016 as a follow up to the band's 2015 debut. The new release sees the Cats develop a more raucous edge on 'Conform' and a sinister undertone on 'Mama' and 'Thick as Thieves', before the all out knees-up of 'So You Think You Can Dance?'.
