Elgato (Hessle Audio)
Elgato is best known for his work on Hessle Audio, as one of the shadowy but exceptionally talented producers the label has a knack for discovering. Recently he launched his own, eponymously named label, adding the 'Dunkel Jam' 12" to his minimal but perfectly formed discography. The reason we've asked him to play is that he's also a superb DJ, with an enviable collection of US and UK garage. He's proved it from his days running Bruk, a small but influential club night in Bristol, through to his continuing transmissions on Sub FM. One recent, convincing demonstration is his 2011 mix for Little White Earbuds (http://bit.ly/z73p0S). Come down and see why this man has long been one of Ben UFO's favourite selectors.
Okzharp (LV/Hyperdub)
In March last year we invited Gerv from LV to debut his Okzharp project at Wifey. Mining a rich vein of lo-fi South African house and chopping it up with UK Funky, the results were blindingly enjoyable. So when we tipped him in FACT's 'Ones To Watch in 2013' feature, we vowed to get him back in the booth as soon as the sun came back. We couldn't be happier to make good on our promise finally. Since then Gerv and LV have gone from strength to strength, with the group finding wide acclaim for their Sebenza album and its transformation of SA influences. We're looking forward to hearing how the Okzharp concept has developed, but until then you can still hear his amazing Wifey mix on our Mixcloud (http://bit.ly/GQBf09).
