Malphino are an outer-national, mystical band from an imaginary tropical island that has dreamt up a cinematic score and audio backdrop to their idyll. A promised land of hypnotic cumbia rhythms, subtle digital warbling, accordion textures, voodoo vapours and woodblock charm awaits the off piste explorer willing to step through the arch and Visit Malphino, the debut album from this London based collective of musicians and visual artists.

Argentinian producer Pedro Canale, aka Chancha via Circuito, came up through Buenos Aires's famed digital cumbia scene before breaking beyond those boundaries to forge unprecedented mergers between Brazilian rhythms, Paraguyan harp, Andean mysticism and Argentinian folklore - all processed through his own futuristic strain of post-dubstep. He is both a cult artist within micro-circles of electronic music.

Entry requirements: 18+
