**ABOUT TANHAI COLLECTIVE**

6 piece instrumental outfit Tanhai Collective draw from jazz funk, post bop and the jazzier end of post rock. Their groove heavy and melodic music utilises 70’s production and recording techniques for explosive, groovy and dubbed out tracks.

**ABOUT BEN HAUKE**

Ben Hauke, a genre-blending artist, boasts a decade of relentless, electrifying music production. From House to Bruk and Techno, Hauke's work defies categorisation but maintains his notable style.

Ben is currently a resident at Rinse FM, where he hosts the popular Club Cute radio show. With over 20 million plays on Spotify, he has earned the title of a "producer's producer." Notable DJs, including Mary-Ann Hobbs, Moxie, Ok Williams, Touching Bass, and Cinthie, among others, have recognized and respected his talent.

**ABOUT DEFT**

Over his years of releasing music, Yip Wong AKA Deft has become an immediately recognisable producer that skilfully hops from headphone to dance styles through cinematic sound design, crisp intricate percussion and immersive atmospheres.

Having come from Croydon, with his beginnings in music as a drummer, Deft has managed to escape the stigma of his home town's heritage and establish his own signature sonic personality, drawing influence from Hip Hop, House, 140, Jungle and Footwork. However, with this in mind, he is able to display these influences through technique and style, making him impressively adept at shaking off the constraints of genre and tempo. This identity has gained him the support of Gilles Peterson, B.Traits, Mark Pritchard, Addison Groove, DJ Shadow, Daedelus, Om Unit and Rockwell amongst many others.

**ABOUT TANHAI COLLECTIVE**

6-piece London jazz band Tanhai Collective draw inspiration from Jazz, Broken Beat, House and Dub to create their signature high energy sound. After being picked out by Norman Jay MBE, their second ever gig (their first round the corner at the Brixton Windmill) was performing to a packed crowd at Cross the Tracks 2021.

Following this success their next gig was the first stop of a sold out debut UK wide tour with dates in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester and London which culminated with a prime time feature interview with Afrodeutsche on Radio 6. Tanhai Collective are true to their roots of the melting pot of South-East London. They pull from a wide variety of influences while centering on Jazz, Dub and UK club music (broken beat / DnB / Jungle). Their High Energy sound is at home in any venue be they Jazz Bars or Club Dancefloors. For fans of, Yussef Kamaal, Neue Grafik, and LTJ Bukem they are a sought after live act and promise to provide infectious rhythms well into the night.

See you on the dancefloor!
