THE ELEKTRONS: the new, fully live manifestation of Manchester club institution Electric Chair - without doubt the most important happening in the city since the closure of the Hacienda. Justin and Luke AKA The Unabombers have, after 10 years of regular club events, wound up the night and are turning their attention to a new live project. The Chair was famous for it eclectic take on dance music, and you will see the influences of a variety of musical genres shine through in their live performance - one which we are very very pleased to be bringing to London.

CAGEDBABY: acid-house superhero meets New Romantic. Neil Tennant meets Fatboy Slim. Influenced by everything from Talking Heads to Toto it’s music that pops out of the speaker with a martini in its hand. Tom has become a very good friend and ambassador of Bloom since he graced the main stage with his live band at our first festival, and telling anyone that would listen to him since that "Bloom is my favourite UK Festival bar none". The last 18 month have seen him become one of the most sought after names with DJ sets taking him all over the world. And when he's not been travelling he's been holed up in the studio working on a new album which is due for release on Fat Boy Slim's label Southern Fried early in 2008 and this will be one of the very first times you will be able to hear it live!

RITON: signed to label ‘Grand Central’ in 2000 (The first non hip-hop act to sign to the label) and has two albums under his belt, plus a remix CV including artists such as Human League, Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, Simian Mobile Disco, Mystery Jets, Mylo and Run DMC.
As a DJ, Riton forms one half of the Gucci Soundsystem, whose ‘tough electro, acid house, bits of rock and digital ragga’ sound epitomizes that of East London. He can be seen playing venues including Fabric, The End and Sankeys (including being a regular face on the Bugged Out circuit) in the UK, Panorama Bar and Weekend in Berlin, The Rex and Triptyque in Paris, We Love at Space in Ibiza and more.

SUPER NASHWAN: will be releasing “Needle in a Haystack” the first single from their hotly anticipated debut album “As you like it”. This year has been a blitz for Future Rockabilly Soul outfit Super Nashwan - following a UK tour, a BBC Live Session with Mark Radcliff and the release of a sellout debut single “Rockabye Baby”. Needle in the Haystack is a banging new blues for the 22nd century – crushing together Johnny Nashwan’s famous steel guitar, a 303, and lyrics that take in everything from time travel to trans-humanism!

LONDON BREAKBEAT ORCHESTRA: Redefining live dance music by perverting the sounds of the symphony. LBO are a 30 strong group of classically trained musicians taking their modern day version of orchestra to venues more commonly associated with DJs and rock bands, demonstrating that orchestral instruments can be used for far more than Beethoven’s 5th. How do they do that you may ask? Well try combining killer grooves, expert turntablism, a dash of effects plus 30 virtuoso instrumentalists who create floor fillers in a unique live performance. This is orchestral music as you've never heard it before!
LBO has been featured live in session on Annie Nightingale's Radio One show in March 2007, and have been popping up en mass at venues across London and beyond.
