AMIN PAYNE / SAFFRON SET
Come on a nostalgic journey of exotic Eastern sounds resonating with my early childhood in Iran and ever growing inspiration from neighbouring lands of Turkey, and the Arab Nations. Accompanied by Julian Steel on percussion & Felix Meredith on Trumpet, to complete this unique hybrid set.

TARABEAT x MzRizK (live)
Their performances are nostalgic and modernistic. Through the use of microtones, odd time signatures, Taqsims (improvisations) and pulsating percussion their sound celebrates the rich musical history and traditions from the MENA (Middle East North Africa) region.
Using classic instruments such as the Qanun (Arabic harp), Nay (Arabic flute), Tubbel (percussion), Mizmar, alongside the Abelton PUSH, and DJ'ing, their live performance celebrates, and re-invents Arabic standards, and classics.

FUTURE ROOTS X SAMAR
With his ongoing passion for Afro House , that has taken him back to his North African roots , with some iconic collaborations with Moroccan artists under the Digital Africa releases , with remixes from Jose Marquez , Temori and others .. this will be a deep dive into what is happening with contemporary electronic music from north Africa and beyond.
