Farrapo made a name for himself as a producer in his own right with releases on ChinChin Records and on the popular Electro Swing Club compilation albums. Farrapo brought himself and Jazz musicians together with respected Italo-Congolese Hip-Hop & Reggae singer/MC Cico together to form The Swinging Junkies. The band have performed all over Europe, and together they present the ’Nu Swing Experience’. soundcloud.com/dj-farrapo Dat Brass These Brassy Badboi’s bring the ruckus wherever they go. Straight outta Brompton, expect nothing less than the phattest brass licks, sax riffs, rap spits, hat hits & scratch bits! They take funk and jazz and twist it on it’s head in the best way possible. These guys will have you jumping non-stop! datbrass.com Badcore Horns A trio of a drummer, saxophonist and trumpeter come together to form the Badcore Horns ‘Drum & Brass’ experience! Influenced by the sounds of New Orleans, these Cornish ruffians bring the noise wherever they go. Likened to a brass band from miles away, they’ve even spawned breakdance and rap battles during their live show. When Badcore Horns hit the stage, it’s a guaranteed party! badcorehorns.co.uk/drum-brass Duke Skellington (Ragtime Records) All the way from the USA, The Vaude Villain Voodoo Swinger Duke Skellington returns to Swing & Bass once again for another round of Vintage Bass!

Hold on to your hats, this set is going to get wild. soundcloud.com/dukeskellingtonswing Fizzy Gillespie Your compère and host for the evening, Fizzy Gillespie returns to Hootananny for another set of Vintage themed beats.
