Lawi Anywar (with Eli Dayo & Dom Porter)

LAWI ANYWAR -

Born to a Ugandan father and White British mother and raised on Dartmoor, Lawi Anywar's identity, in music and reality, is an exploration of dualities. Sonically influenced as much by Grace Jones as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, as much Steve Reich as Sade, and as much The Mars Volta as Bad Brains, Anywar's music exists in a groove driven common ground between funk, psychedelia and shoegaze.

Anywar's second album, Centenarian, explores themes of regret and fears of dying without healing from past mistakes, with lead singles I See You and Lordvessel exemplifying an evolution in Anywar's shimmering, prog-tinged psych funk compositions, and representing a step up in his exploration of tension, release and locking into grooves.

ELI DAYO -

South East London born alternative indie artist Eli Dayo’s distinctive sound fuses ethereal melodies, introspective lyricism, and fearless authenticity, with a voice that moves seamlessly from hauntingly delicate to raw and powerful, unfiltered energy.

Her music is a reflection of lived experiences, exploring themes of vulnerability, feminism, resilience, and the complexities of the human condition. Sonically, Eli resists categorisation, blending the textures of indie, alternative, R&B, trip-hop, and rock into a soundscape that feels wholly her own. This genre-bending approach has made her one of the most exciting new voices in the independent scene.

DOM PORTER -

Drawing from expansive experimental infuences such as Arthur Russell and Mk.Gee, Dom Porter, known collaborator, producer and songwriter, brings an atmospheric, soulful sound to the table, deftly stepping across alternative, indie and electronic territories.

Presented by Fruit Machine.
