Edan, Mr. Thing and DJ Nuts have never shared a bill before - but they do share a love for funky, psychedelic sounds and an uncompromising approach to party rocking. NYC-based multi-disciplinary artist Edan’s palate stretches from the origins of hip-hop to the fringes of rock. The UK’s Mr. Thing has been championing proper selections across compilations, festivals and dance floors for nearly 3 decades. And São Paulo’s DJ Nuts brings a turntablist lens to the funk, psych, samba, rock and MPB of his home country, Brazil.
