SaNTINO

SaNTINO

Performer

SaNTINO is based in Leeds, but was born on the internet. The 90s saw influences from Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, JoJo’s, Dragonball Z and the likes of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and hiphop alike. The music takes you on a journey through all of these influences and tastefully blends together the punchy, rap-like vocals against the groove and melodies typically found in J-Pop and anisong. Also pulling influences from disco, soul and funk as well as contemporary, post-internet music trends, SaNTINO’s specific brand of pop music bridges generations and blends genres to a dizzying, kaleidoscopic effect. SaNTINO is quickly becoming known for his dynamic and extremely energetic live solo performances as well as his ever expanding and eclectic original material. His next release “genius” is a remake of his first EP which include titles such as “sMiLe”, “Weeb Life” and “No Face”.

Ooberfuse

Ooberfuse

Performer

Ooberfuse are a songwriting band composed of Hal St John and Cherrie Anderson. They are unafraid to deep-sea dive into the deepest oceans of human emotions to colour-up drab contemporary life. Their songs are audio footprints left behind by people impelled towards invisible things.

On what sets Ooberfuse apart from their peers, an influential UK music critic says: “Ethereal electronic pop with the complex beauty that Ooberfuse has will endure.” Well-crafted songs delivered through powerful, emotional and heartfelt vocals combined with east-meets-west electronic music are Ooberfuse’s trademarks.

One of Ooberfuse’s strengths is their live performance, having played hundreds of gigs all over the world. They are equally at home performing to an audience of 2 million in Madrid, to hundreds in one of Rio de Janeiro’s notorious favelas, or in front of the House of Lords in the UK. They recently toured the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, the Philippines, China, India, Romania and Iraq. They have graced the stage of some of Britain’s most prestigious venues – including the O2 in Greenwich, Leicester Square Theatre, Bush Hall and Trafalgar Square.

Support for their music has come from Music Week - their recent album was cited as a key release for 2017, BBC Introducing, Rolling Stone India, Guardian Music, DJ Mag.
