Joining Chris Dawkins, Wulls and The Local Beatnik, who are back for round two having all appeared on the first installment, are rapper-turned-producer Bruce Leeds, jazz and soul blogger Matt Paul Smith, Lithuania native and analogue gear dealer Z.S.E.M Лидс. Ahano Brown spreads a message of positivity over hard-hitting SOPHIE-esque beats, whilst DJ/producer Shauna, who recently made an appearance on HOR, returns with the 4X4 floor-filler Reassurance Loop.

Many of the scene’s stalwarts make an appearance under different aliases, including NiceThings, the project of Tom Stewart of Breaking the Illusion, who were billed as the British De La Soul in the late 80s. The Local Beatnik makes a second appearance, this time as Surkit, his new 80s synth guise, and Tony Green & Will Gurreys’ Doklief project combines hip-hop sensibility with a club sound. Beat comes from Mint Club resident Bobby O’Donnell & Max Pouncy, under their downbeat alter ego Bear Witness.
