Theadora is a musician and producer, born and raised in North London with roots in jazz piano. Her live performances have evolved toward a unique blend of jazz, experimental and ambient music, characterised by structured, thematic improvisation. Utilising live looping, piano, synthesisers, electronic sampling and vocal harmony, Theadora’s sets are immersive explorations that respond directly to the themes she creates for herself. In her upcoming performance, she will present "I escaped a former version of myself," an introspective piece comprised of six movements, each representing phases of self-transformation and renewal. On the night she will be accompanied by her brother Dino on guitar and bass and Abi Asisa on Cello.

afromerm is the solo project of 2023 Oram award-winning composer and sound artist, Cecilia Morgan. Her work draws from contemporary, jazz, and experimental disciplines, blending electronic elements with live instrumentation, spoken and sung vocalisations, and her self-built motion-reactive instrument, Juniper, to create soundscapes that immerse us into the elemental mythology of her project. Building on afromerm's elegant and eclectic debut release "held" which premiered on Bandcamp in 2023, for which she was named a sonic innovator by Martha on BBC Radio 1, her free-form live set expands this sound world with live-looping, deftly blended into beats and scapes.

ABI ASISA, a 23-year-old producer and cellist, challenges norms by leveraging her classical training to dissolve the distinctions between jazz, pop, and experimental music.
Hailing from Brighton, ASISA relocated to London when she was 19 years old and her exposure to the city's jazz scene prompted her to break free from the insularity of the classical realm.
This led her to explore innovative ways of using her instrument to produce music influenced by artists such as Oliver Coates, Tirzah, and Eartheater.

Shauwdii is a audio visual artist & DJ from Hackney, London. She works with Destruction, attempting to feel what sounds are left once we disappear. She seeks to unearth the emptiness beneath emotion. Confronting a confidence within the grotesque, through heavy dub electronic soundscapes, industrial ambience and cyclical trap remixes in her live performances. To make sense out of disaster with noise and memory. These ideas are also embedded in her film works, directing music videos for some of londons most notable musical innovators including Taz & Meeks, Mark William lewis, zerosome and Jawnino.
