LIVE

ALEJANDRO & THE MAGIC TOMBOLINOS

(Gypsy/Middle-Eastern/Latin)

Full-throttle Balkan madness brought to you by the extraordinarily charismatic and prodigious Alejandro Toledo and his motley crew of urban gypsies! 

GNAWA GRIOT ft. SIMO LAGNAWI & JALLY KEBBA SUSSO

(Morocco meets Gambia)

Passing Clouds' favourite Gnawa master Simo Lagnawi collaborates with our beloved Gambian Griot Jally Kebba Susso - the Jimi Hendrix of the Kora-world. These two superstars have been weaving their ancient African musical forms with Jazz, Folk, Funk, Samba, Electronic, African drums, music from India, Japan, South America and yonder, and it is their mission to expand and interlace the boundaries of each individual tradition, whilst keeping its heart and soul intact.

RAGGA TWINS with DJ BLAZEMORE

(Jungle/Reggae/Hip-hop)

Riding on the wave of their triumph at Beatroots earlier in the year, the Ragga Twins are the link between UK dancehall reggae, jungle and hip-hop. This is a retrospective of their classic (and now very rare) early tracks produced by Shut Up and Dance at the start of the 1990s.The Ragga Twins (alongside producers PJ and Smiley, AKA Shut Up and Dance) revolutionised UK dance music at the start of the 1990s bringing Reggae and Hip-Hop styles together to create Jungle.

MR BENN ft. EVA LAZARUS

(Reggae/Hip-hop/Dancehall)

An unmistakable blend of skankin’ reggae grooves married with the chunkiest of hip hop beats makes for dancehall, dance floor chaos.

ANOTHER MATERIAL

(Drum N Bass/Trance)

A unique live act, Another Material make their music from an enormous spaceship-type contraption! More used to playing late-night sets in local warehouse parties, they have been coaxed out of their studio (with all the equipment...) bringing with them a special set to Passing Clouds! Expect to hear live remixing, upbeat tempos, progressive live drum and bass, psytrance and guest MCing from our very own Fedzilla!
