About artists:

Kensaye is a Paris-born, London-based music producer, percussionist and DJ, with Haitian and American roots. He has a broad musical style, ranging from Afrobeats, pop, dancehall, reggaeton, global bass, hip-hop and neo soul, and blends those influences to create unique pieces that are both progressive and radio-friendly.

Kensaye produces for major and independent artists around the world, creating originals and remixes for acclaimed musicians such as Falz, M.anifest, Speech Debelle and Homeboy Sandman.

He also composes music for cinema and TV, with placements in a BAFTA-winning feature film, documentaries, adverts and a Netflix series. Kensaye’s approach to collaboration is of support and synergy. He helps independent artists beyond just ‘making a beat’, but provide solutions to problems they encounter throughout their music journeys.

Known for her blend of percussive grooves and dark rhythms, Mahnoor is a DJ, BBC radio presenter & founder of refugee supper club SUP? Supper Club. Drawing from her British Pakistani heritage, from global diasporic sounds and grime beats that she grew up with in London, to the rave sounds she explored in her late teens living in France, her eclectic style is characterised by the murkier ends of the UK bass spectrum with South Asian influences that move the dancefloor and bring it together, like she did at Dour, and at Le Fil, Saint
Etienne.
She is also fast becoming a respected curator as part of her Mahnoor Presents shows, showcasing the best of global British Underground at iconic London venues like Cafe Koko and Ministry of Sound.
Through this blend Mahnoor keeps crowds engaged and on their toes, delivering sets for Wavey Garms and New Balance & Nike too as well as being a regular guest presenter and selector on Rinse and playing across key London venues including Colour Factory, Phonox & more.
Mahnoor returns to the French music scene delivering one of the most energetic sets at Dour Festival as part of the Daytimers takeover.
Alongside her BBC Asian Network residency, appearances also included Paris’ Mahalla, Rinse FM UK & Rinse France covers, NTS special and guest mixes across BBC Asian Network, Worldwide FM, Reprezent & more.

Nour’s never-ending quest for sounds that resonate with how she expresses herself as an artist is found in between differing genres. As a native Palestinian, her taste in music is fueled by both inner and outer influences of her culture and her own perceptions of her heritage. NOUR emerged onto the musical playing fields in another exotic land hat was Tulum, Mexico where she earned the title as a resident DJ at Papaya Playa Project, the offspring of the veterans of Bar 25, now Kater Holzig. In this paradise, NOUR played her unique sounds for 3 seasons, from 2012 until 2015.

Her talented mixing reached the ears of the international crowds and in 2015 she ventured off to Scorpios, a beach club on the island of Mykonos. There she also became a resident Dj for 4 seasons. In Mexico she’s played some of the top festivals in Central America like Akamba, Tropico, and Bravo. A true nomadic force of music, NOUR has played at events like Gardens of Babylon Amsterdam, Woomoon Ibiza, Storytellers Ibiza, Dystopia, and Acid Sundays. She is also a regular at KaterBlau in Berlin.

In 2017, NOUR’s career blossomed as she ventured on a sonic journey into the field of production, music anthropology, sound therapy and crisscross creativity. A collaborative union with Lamat Uuc resulted in her her first EP imprinted on Talavera Records containing a number of original tracks and remixes. This summer she released an EP on the prominent well-known record label Sol Selectas.

NOUR’S trademark sound- strategically woven with elements of her Oriental roots and cut with edgier beats, is a refreshing experience to ears on the dancefloor searching to hear something truly unique.
