After a brief hiatus, Sleemo are back and heavier than ever. 



$EBBUKU

$ebbuku. Rapper, producer, stereo warrior. Hailing from Norwich at 22 years old, $ebbuku has been making brutal beats for over five years, handing a jaw splintering uppercut to mainstream hip hop. For his live performances your sucker punched with a full band lineup, cutting up beats like grime-punk butchers. Almost all of Buku’s music is self produced, using a mix of old school, hands on sampling and post-punk influences to smash you with the hardcore, bass inflicted hip-hop. Having made a name for himself on his local scene, $ebbuku (Sebastian Bates) has gained early support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Reprezent, DMY, Earmilk, Notion among others. Playing packed out shows across the East of the UK and at festivals including Reading Festival, Brighten The Corners, Latitude and WildPaths.If you’re hunting for an artist with thumping beats and immense mosh pits... You've found him!

BIRDWITCH

Hailing from Norwich, UK, Birdwitch are a self-described 'Dream Violence' band, blending elements of doom, shoegaze, post-metal and prog (amongst other influences).
