| Taal Mala CA | 18:30 | |
Often described as un-categorizable, Taal Mala’s music is inspired by new ideas and classic standards,and takes influence from a diverse selection of both new and classic sounds. Genre-defying acts of synth genius and production lustre form a solid foundation for Taal Mala’s destruction of any soundboy who comes to test it. Dubstep, Grime, Jungle, Acid, Hardcore and Reggae are all partially responsible for the fusion that is created. As a member of the Lighta! and Dark Magnet soundsystems, Taal Mala has buried an excess of tin pan soundboys alongside The Bug, Kode9, Loefah, Venetian Snares, Rusko, Benga, Mala, Skream, and many more. |

| 10KILOS.US CA | ||
10 kilos is the weight of one million American dollars. It’s in French. It’s the conviction that young people always have a point, and that it’s a given that as long as the future is theirs to grasp, we’re in good hands. It’s the binary incarnation of what’s most listened to on the streets of Zone 6, the stripculbs of Alabama, the schoolyards of Chicago, and the afterhours of Shoreditch. |

| The Gulf Stream CA | 18:30 | |
Montreal duo The Gulf Stream takes hip-hop templates and feeds them into the hungry mouth of international bass music. Composed of Kodok (Ivann Uruena) and Archibald Singleton (Jérôme Guilleaume), when they first geared up to jam the pair were a ways off from knowing that they would have such fun playing together. As they grew musically, they forged their sound around a mid-tempo hip-hop, full of subtle samples, melodic synths and powerful basses. Anything goes when it comes to samples. The live set they play is always evolving, full of glitches and as they never stopped jamming, new compositions keep emerging each time they play. |

With hip-hop and R&B sets for The Boiler Room, back-to -back sets with Jackmaster, and opening sets for SBTRKT and Major Lazer, Oneman has that rare ability to destroy any party.
