Joined by CHESUS – a big player on the Cardiff scene for many years, with roots set in garage and hip-hop, he’s produced a diverse selection of music ranging from his METABEATS project on Associated Mins to hire more recent affiliations with both CRST and DARKHOUSE FAMILY. soundcloud.com/midland

ONE HAPPY ISLAND
DENUO & support / guest DJs
8pm £4 entry Indiepop band from Boston with sloppy yet fun DIT tendencies – chief exports include handclaps, ukulele, harmonicas, bittersweetly jangly ballads, furiously unfocused kazoo solos and unashamed lo-fi recordings. Their debut self-titled LP on Oddbox Records is a big, bold and ambitious pop record with massive hooks and bags of charm. Yay. onehappyislandmusic.com 26
