Headfirst Editor's Pick
"DJ Marcelle's a triple deck, dubpate-heavy, industrial DJ troubadour - weaving multi-layered percussive rhythms from scraps of songs in an avant-garde sampledelica dance style. She's supported by spectral distorted noise-rock of No Home and Jabu’s dub-fuelled bliss"

DJ MARCELLE
Although DJ Marcelle has been collecting music longer than most of us have been alive, she still feels like The Netherlands’ sweetheart. She’s an artist with a mischievous, rule-bending and almost ironic approach to her DJing, producing and radio hosting – cut with her trademark wit yet supported by an unquestionable amount of skill.
"Well known for her three-turntable setup, DJ Marcelle makes compositions out of songs and symphonies out of mixes – colliding disparate genres, appropriated vocal snippets and warped soundscapes into a giant Frankenstein-like melting pot. Her performances are inventive, euphoric and above all powerful." Resident Advisor.
NO HOME
No Home is the moniker of London based Charlotte Valentine. Their last album “Fucking Hell”, a mix of noise rock and pop, was released in June 2020 and was named one of the “The 35 Best Rock Albums of 2020” by Pitchfork. They have played with artists such as Moor Mother, Big Joanie and Downtown Boys. Their work has been written about in Crack Magazine and The Wire amongst others.
JABU
Jabu are a 3 piece band from Bristol made up of singers Alex Rendall and Jasmine Butt and producer Amos Childs. Their music is influenced by soul, shoegaze, and UK underground music from lovers rock to jungle and hardcore. On the night they will be playing stems, sounds and effects through the mixing desk and, led by Alex and Jasmine's vocals, improvising new ideas as well as playing alternate/dubbed versions of their existing songs.
