Cargo teams up with Camden based promoters Adventures In The Beetroot Field. They are the collective behind the Field Day Festival, multi-venue East London event Stag And Dagger and the unforgettable Easter extravaganzas at Fabric, that pioneered the art of pitching breaking indie-rock and electronic bands alongside established DJs and curveballs from the worlds of folk, performance art and prog-rock. Amongst others, AITBF was an early launching pad for the likes of Florence and the Machine, Crookers, Filthy Dukes, Thecocknbullkid, Neon Neon, Apes and Androids and Brodinski.
TIM LOVE LEE
Tim 'Love' Lee's downtempo breakbeat treads a fine line between the soulful funk of Thievery Corporation and the jumbled psychedelic ramblings of Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band. Besides running a pair of successful labels, Lee found time to produce his own disco-drenched, acid-funking music for Pussyfoot (home to Spacer), Dust 2 Dust, and Three Sixty Records, as well as some pretty groovy remixes for Shantel and The Freaknik. His releases are full of drowsy beats, surreal synths, and a smattering of looped live instruments.

PINEY GIR
Piney Gir, sometime electronic exotica lover (Peakahokahoo); genuine all-American country girl (The Piney Gir Country Roadshow),returns with her new album "The Yearling". Pulling in a parade of collaborators spanning country slides, orchestral strings, found sounds, saw playing food gurus and, hush! even a celebrity appearance on a love-gone-wrong duet, this is Piney's most dazzling record yet. Quite a cocktail... the simple structures of her country record with a shot of heartbreak that comes from the moonshine of life's own harsh still. The Yearling fuses cutting edge production taking a nod from German electronica, spanning its way to warm 70s FM radio with a loving how-do-you-do to musique concrète.

AZEALIA BANKS
"Sassy and savage, bright and bouncy, this potty mouth MC from NYC raps about the joys of going downtown." The Guardian.
This female solo rapper, from Harlem, is pushing for a more aggressive approach, with her talk of fvcking and receiving head she's not shy either. She has what all great rappers hold - rapid, smooth, direct lyrics, with plenty of shock and punch, that don't take themselves too seriously. Oh and they always seem to have a trick up their sleeves.

GOLD PANDA
It's a kinda post-Boards of Canada, post-Warp in the 90s world, where the ‘folktronica' so often attributed to Rounds-era Four Tet has morphed and developed into its own jangling, swarming brand of indie-infused instrumental electronic music. With the likes of The Bug making bedroom, lo-fi, self-produced music cool again, Gold Panda has immerged as a perveyor of quality low-tech techno. Its clipped, crackling beats and repetitive electronica breathes life into your head - it's an organic blend of electronica that has a human heart to its processed exterior.

QUAD THROW SALCHOW
Ice skating inspired weirdness from London. QTS chose to have few elements within their sound canvas with a strong emphasis on the shading of each of them; a sophisticated minimalism.
What really makes this stand up from the hordes of trendy NME watching bands is the sleazy vocals of O de Lanzac. It brings to mind The Knife being backed by Kasabian. The combination of weird female vocals and simplistic songs has proved a winning formula for others and with any luck QTS should be able to tap into that market with the right push.

THE RAYOGRAPHS
The Rayographs are Astrud Steehouder on guitar and vocals, Jessamine Tierney on bass and vocals and Amy Hurst on drums and occasional vocals. The motivation that glues this band together has been the attempt to create a sound that satifies a combined aesthetic; the intention to write songs that resonate. The songs are ideas-based: cropped observational narratives, stark impressions of strange histories, dark blue cinematic lynchian atmospherics cut with sharp drums and curious basslines. The combination of strong songwriting, dark landscapes and free vocals has led to comparisons with Patti Smith, The Breeders, Nick Cave, early PJ Harvey and Life Without Buildings.
"Invoking the restless blues spirit of proto-riot grrrl heroines in the mould of Patti Smith as well as the dreamy tremblings of The Breeders, (The Rayographs) provide demure elegance in a sea of grubby punks, with pummelling rhythms strewn with forlorn, waiflike voices and surging progressive chords." - NME
