8 artists you absolutely have to see at Sunfall
The London festival is back for its second year
7 Roy Ayers
Main Stage
Are you really going to ignore the opportunity to see the man who wrote ‘Everybody Loves The Sunshine’ in the actual sunshine? Roy Ayers, the gift that keeps on giving at the age of 76, was built for festivals like this. We can’t begin to recommend the lush sounds of vibraphone in the lush surrounds of greenery enough. To seem him in the flesh should really be presented in the form of a written contract when you discover your first 4/4 beat. His influence on dance music (and we mean that in a very broad term from hip hop to house) is phenomenal. As one of the most sampled artists in music, you’re bound to hear snippets of his tracks at some point in the day, so why not hear it in person? It’s really just common sense.
8 Bradley Zero
Rhythm Section Night Session
NTS Radio. One Wednesday a month. Midday 'til 2pm. Reserve those two hours for Bradley Zero's show on the London station and you'll get a treat of jazzy flavours from way back when, dizzying and delectable house and all the latest cuts from his Rhythm Section International label. He's a master selector, as likely to drop a Ron Trent classic as he is a Rufige Kru riddim. If you've been to a Rhythm Section party, or read our feature on the crew, you'll know they're nights swelling with energy and pure good vibes. Pairing Bradley with Washington D.C duo Beautiful Swimmers for an afterparty is a recipe for unbridled dancefloor elation. Just make sure you keep your phone in your pocket, yeah.
