Michael Sebastian creates Live Dance Music. It has the structure of electronic; the freedom of jazz, and the depth of world.

“an improvisatory joy, a muscular blast of indie-electronics worth filing alongside Bonobo or Bicep” - Clash

A South African in London, Sebastian has a strong presence in the city with recent headline shows at EartH Hackney & Colour Factory, support slots for James Blake and Four Tet at Alexandra Palace, as well as being named a top 5 global Sofar artist.

Fuelled by the relationship between music and dance, he finds himself at the intersection between club, contemporary and conscious dance spaces.

In his live shows he merges contemporary discipline with transcendental spirituality through jazz improvisation and play, often involving talented collaborators. His objective is to create spaces of collective ecstasy, inspired by his own time on the dancefloor.

TOMMY KHOSLA

Tommy Khosla and Gregorio Merchán, both members of the genre-blending collective JAWARI, bring their dynamic collaboration to the stage for this support set. With Tommy’s sitar explorations and Gregorio’s multi-instrumental rhythmic talents—shaped by his work with Latin Grammy-winning acts like Aterciopelados—the duo crafts a vibrant fusion of sounds.

Drawing on JAWARI’s repertoire and their own musical backgrounds, expect an engaging blend of music, rhythmic interplay, and spontaneous moments. Supporting Michael Sebastian, they set the tone for an evening of eclectic, exploratory music.
