Mia aka MIMI RICH is a multi-genre DJ from South East London. Moving between her favourite genres of dancehall, hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeats, Amapiano, garage, Baile funk & more, she loves to blend a mix of old classics and fresh sounds, keeping a high energy throughout.
KATALYSSST is a multigenre DJ with a USB full of heat and hidden gems. Her sound combines genres from all over the world with nostalgic throwbacks and current music. Whether it’s a smooth R&B blend that allows songs to melt into each other, or a hard-hitting jaw dropper of a transition, KATALYSSST has got you covered. As a queer woman, she particularly enjoys spinning for the LGBTQ community.
She’s recently opened for Amindi, Nia Chennai, Kali Claire and Zino Vinci. Her guest mixes on Voices Radio, Balamii, Rinse FM, G-Shock Radio and Reprezent show her ever evolving taste in music and ability to bring different genres together – playing anything from R&B and hip-hop to Afrobeats, Dancehall, house, garage, funky house, etc – the list goes on. With KATALYSSST, the musical possibilities are endless.
Saadiq T. Sometimes host, sometimes poet, sometimes photographer, sometimes rapper, sometimes DJ, meet Saadiq T. Bringing the best of the underground party jams to the mix, expect Black music to be represented to the fullest.
