Ellen;

Mancunian music-maker Ellen Beth Abdi uses live loops, pokey drums, undulating synths and quietly subversive lyrics to mould her unique sound. ‘Wonky, soul-infused pop with a social conscience’.

Her debut album was independently released in May 2025 to critical acclaim, receiving radio support from BBC Introducing, Radio 3, BBC Radio 6 and NTS radio.

Ellen’s distinctive voice has gained her spots at Maida Vale, Loose Ends, 6 Music Festival, We Out Here. She has collaborated with music legend Angélique Kidjo, opening Aviva Studios for Manchester International Festival 2023 and was selected for Jazz North’s Northern Line programme in 2025.

From commissions with Opera North and working with The Hallé Orchestra and Youth Choir to having recorded and toured with Manchester legends; New Order, 808 State, A Certain Ratio and supporting The Stone Roses at Wembley. Ellen’s vital and unique mentorship means she represents the synergy between Manchester’s past and present, proven by her innate appreciation for the city's rich cultural heritage, of which her music is an integral part.

Meme Gold;

Meme Gold is a captivating performance & vocal artist refreshingly blending indie folk with unique soul fuelled melodies, heartfelt lyrics and DIY productions. She creates an evocative soundscape that resonates deeply with listeners taking you on a journey through emotion and introspection. Each performance is an invitation into her journey of self development, encouraging the idea of “existence” as art itself.

Obeka;

From the shores of Bermuda to the inner-city musical depths of the UK underground club scene. Unearthed, heavy and dynamic live drum performances delivered by his Caribbean and African roots.

Featured as MixMag’s ‘Artists to Watch in 2025’, Obeka crafts the force of soundsystem and drumming culture. Propelling distorted Dub pressure and splintered low-ends with industrial percussion evolved from his migration from Bermuda to UK . Live African hand drums, ghostly sound design and broken vocals form a stark language of sonic protest.
