Known for being the late J Dilla's favourite MC, Detroit rapper, Guilty Simpson has been a force on the Detroit hip-hop scene for over 20 years. His deep gravelly baritone voice and commanding delivery gives him a distinctive and powerful presence. He can throw lyrical blows with the best of them and has become known for his forceful battle rhymes. However, he also maintains a penchant for storytelling and is quietly adept at waxing philosophical on life and love. Guilty has worked with Madlib, Slum Village, Phat Kat, MED, MF DOOM, Black Milk, and of course J Dilla. Recognised as one of the greats, his heavy-weight lyrical swagger is 100% Guilty. Abstract Orchestra is a UK Hip-hop ensemble formed by producer Rob Mitchell. Abstract cut their teeth covering the work of J Dilla and MADVILLAIN, leading to a collaboration with Dabrye and MF DOOM on the remix of 'Air', and the original release of 'New Day' featuring Illa J (brother of J Dilla). Abstract has become part of the Slum Village family, after working with Young RJ on two of his albums, re-working 'Fantastic Vol.2' in collaboration with SV, and most recently, appearing on the new Slum Village album 'F.U.N' The track starts in a dream like state before the live drums drop. Guilty Simpson's heavy, low baritone voice delivers lyrical punches with intensity. The track feels like it's in two parts, the 1st part creating tension through the percussive strings and broken bass line. The 2nd part drops with a much thicker texture and more layers, creating a lush and deep sound that Includes synths, strings and deep reverb vocals, all before a return to the dream like outro. Guilty Simpson is the Big Bad Wolf, with lyrics such as "back for revenge", "when a good guy becomes a villain" and "tally up the men I bruise….Guilt" - Mic drop…..

When the hypnotic groove of Berlin band Onom Agemo & The Disco Jumpers meets the pulsating riffs of Malian guitarist and singer Ahmed Ag Kaedy, new horizons open up. At the centre of 'Common Stars' is Ahmed Ag Kaedy's distinctive vocals - always with poetic urgency. His lyrics, deeply rooted in the political and cultural realities of his homeland, deal with freedom, home and the search for identity. They deal with the ongoing conflict of the Tuareg in Mali, who are caught between the desire for cultural self-determination and political tensions with the central government. They also address the threat posed by Islamist groups, which have controlled parts of northern Mali and banned music since 2012. Ahmed Ag Kaedy had to flee his home country due to this repression. With his band Amanar, he shaped modern Tuareg rock and toured internationally. The collaboration with Onom Agemo began after he came to Berlin for the premiere of the film 'Mali Blues', in which he is one of the protagonists, and led to joint concerts throughout Europe.

A song tribute to Jorge Ben Jor & Quarteto Em Cy from Brazilian hip hop talent Laiz and her band The New Love Experience, following her breakout 2024 rap and jazz debut album. Laiz's love for music is rooted in tropicália, Brazilian music old and new, and soul. Think Tom Zé, Marcelo D2 and Sampha the Great. And like so many Brazilians, the deep reverence Laiz has for home grown funk, bossa and samba artists from the second half of the twentieth century runs deep. So, following on from her jazz fuelled hip-hop debut on Agogo Records in 2024, she has written and recorded a track Se Segura, a homage to warm and fuzzy-funk sound of 70's Brazil and two of her favourite artists Jorge Ben Jor & Quarteto Em Cy.

Trinkais about the strength of the encounter that music provides between Dandara Modesto, Brazilian singer and songwriter, João Pires, Portuguese composer and guitarist and Juninho Ibituruna, Brazilian percussionist. Sewing of Atlantic music, they build a path between Bahia, Portugal and Minas Gerais. Each arranged in one place echoing the connection through the music that unites them in complementarity: João's melodies and guitar with Dandara's voice and interpretive power and the pulse rhythm ancestor of Juninho.
