Menio Brown a.k.a. Rigopolar is an electronic music producer born in Ensenada, Mexico. Influenced by sounds of italo disco and techno, the core of his music are the mind and universe, time and space, where we come from and where we are going. And what spins around all this questions, is music.

“Greater” is his last production under the Spanish label Nazca Records, with 4 original tracks that tell a whole story in a slow future disco. This would be his second 12-inch LP after “Tour De Mal EP” released in March 2017 under the underground label Tom Tom Disco. Both LP’s had a fantastic response with many DJs and producers over the world and had a very solid chart spot in many digital stores.

It was Richard Rossa who opened the doors of Tom Tom Disco in late 2015 with his first EP entitled Golden Mask, which was the first impulse for Rigopolar to position himself in an underground scene where he found the sound he was looking for years and where he felt like at home. Some EPs and remixes of Rigopolar have been published during the last year, working hand in hand with new producers and some others “not so new” ones, looking for a connection between artists with very good results on the scene.

Tronik Youth, Heretic, Sinchi Collective, Pin Up Club, Cannibal Ink, Craig Bratley, Two mamarrachos, Daniel Kyo, JP Soul, Italo Brutalo, James Rod, Future Bones and Moo Monster are some of the artists who have hosted and supported the work of Rigopolar. He has been able to collaborate with some of them and others have played some of his tracks on dance floors around the world.

A major presence on the UK festival circuit for over 15 years, the Secret Garden Party’s founder and impresario, The Head Gardener aka Freddie Fellowes, has always sought to push boundaries. In fact, he prefers to call this event a party rather than a festival to highlight his belief that each and every person who performs or attends is a participant, not a spectator.

To achieve this he prefers to remain independent and indeed Secret Garden Party is the largest, 100% independent, event in the UK. As a DJ he is in every sense what Tom Middleton has described as an ‘eclectrician’ – crate digging whilst unafraid to play the more familiar – He has graced a diverse a selection of shows; from NYC Fashion Week parties to The Rabbit Hole at Glastonbury & following every sort of act; from Giles Peterson to Lady GaGa. How? By sticking to the golden rule of putting the crowd on the dance floor first.

Mr Jay [AKA Jason Broomfield] has always had music as a big part of his life, with influences coming from as broad a horizon as his grandparents’ theatre exploits, to his early exposure to trippy 80’s bands such as Depeche Mode and Pink Floyd.

It was in 1999 however that Jay bought his first house record after falling in love with the beauty that is a spinning vinyl on a turntable. He was instantly hooked on the art of DJ’ing and has spent the last 17 years exploring different sounds, music genres and technology of this art form.

Having been immediately drawn to the euphoric rave sounds of the late 90’s, Jason quickly honed his skills and picked up residencies at the Gallery nightclub as well as the infamous Club 55, with regular guest appearances at Club Sky and Sliver. It was here that he learnt how to manage a dance floor, holding his own alongside the various internationals traveling to SA at the time.

Currently Mr Jay holds a residency at the unique alternative party concept, Diskotekah, where he has helped provide a platform of expression for Cape Town’s underground art & music scene for the last 3 years.

K-$ is a DJ and internet sensation hailing from Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs. Having developed a keen appreciation for music when they were nothing but a little mischief maker, they were moved to teach themselves to play various instruments, expanding on their understanding of the art form.

Coming up under a father who was also a DJ, this selecta has a deep love for timeless classics and is naturally drawn to the rhythms emerging from RnB, funk, disco & soul’s golden years. The soundtrack of yesteryear’s playboys, mac daddies & supaluvas has influenced not just their sound, but persona and aesthetic too.

Raw talent and a well-trained ear inform a style that seamlessly blends this heritage with more contemporary favourites, a phenomenon K-$ says, comes down to the fact that the music they grew up on laid a strong foundation, upon which present-day sound is built. This is evident in each of their sets across the city at well-established clubs and events, festivals like Cape Town Electronic Music Festival and MUSE All Weekend Music Festival, as well as in their mixes for the internationally acclaimed Rinse FM and local magazine Bubblegum Club.

One of the youngest members of the LIT squad, they are an old soul trapped in a young body. Expect nothing but quality hits for true music lovers.
