Desta French + Ash Rah
A LatinX powerhouse, Desta French has emerged from the growing London music scene, proudly flaunting her Latin American heritage with an unmistakable London attitude.

He has played in clubs and festivals across the world.

DJ Yoda + Mid Nite Life
An international headlining turntablist, DJ Yoda finds fresh and unique ways to bring the turntables out of clubs and into the world and has worked with creative heavy hitters such as Dr Dre, Banksy and of course, The Jungle Brothers. We can’t wait to see how DJ Yoda interprets the unique space and atmosphere at Marston Park!
Mid Nite Life’s style of music, whilst rooted in the Indie Dance scene, retains core elements of Rock, Rave & Hip Hop that delivers an energetic sound, punctuated with powerful lyricism and acerbic social commentary. Their combined experience has seen them do the lot; from roots in pirate radio, running labels and events to touring the world, whilst stopping off at Glastonbury Festival several times to reign as Sunday night soundclash champions. Mid Nite Life is the fusion of their high energy performances with a new production style, direction and attitude.
