Hijac

Hijac is a DJ and producer from Barry, Wales. After releasing his debut single, which gained recognition on Annie Nightingale's BBC Radio 1 show, he immersed himself in the queer club scene of London, while releasing singles through various labels. His music and mixes draw inspiration from the experimental pop wave led by icons like SOPHIE and the rhythmic sounds of Darker Drum-focused genres. 

Alexis Taylor

As the front man of leg­endary UK group Hot Chip, you might recog­nise Alexis Taylor from hit records ‘Over & Over’, ‘Ready For The Floor’ or from any num­ber of their sem­i­nal indie-dance bangers – including their most recent album “Freakout/Release” (2022). The man him­self has released sev­er­al great albums as a solo artist. Alexis plays a wide selection of his favourite music to move to – from disco, boogie, electropop and house through to techno, dub techno, reggae and soul. Leaning towards vocal-led uplifting music, he always brings a party vibe. Alexis has DJed internationally everywhere from Tokyo, Seoul, Bali, Athens, Helsinki, Paris, Brussels, Naples, Barcelona, New York, LA to London and played for brands such as Dior, Hermes, Palace, Calvin Klein, Apple.
