Get to know the lineup...
In the time since she's last played Brainchild with Boko! Boko!, she's taken the world by storm, touring internationally, playing (legendary) Boiler Rooms, curating shows with Keep Hush and producing some total huuuge hits for the dancefloor with artists like Bryte. If you haven't already we also seriously recommend you dig into her Greatest Hits: Now That's What I Call Mina comp from last year. Back in 2016 & 2017, Mina not only played Brainchild but also led our Girls in Sound courses for womxn to get into music production. We cannot tell you how hyped we are to have her back with us! One of those brilliant Boiler Rooms over here.
When we saw Gracie T at No Bounds last month (in an epic b2b with Diessa) she had us grinning from ear to ear and we knew we had to get her down from Sheffield to a Brainchild party. Resident at Threads Radio & Hopeworks in Sheffield, Gracie plays with a breadth from the most ridiculous edits to brilliant bassy numbers and we're in no doubt that her set will pop off. She is also a founding member of the Beatriarchy, a thriving platform for under-represented artists. Check out her Boiler Room with Chandé as part of the Daytimers takeover here.
Deejjaaayy Pri blew us away in her Lab set with Ahadadream, Manara & Darama for Daytimers, and we've loved everything else we've found - including all her sets during lockdown (top marks for commitment). Turns out she's a good friend of Gracie T, so we're delighted they're gonna play B2B after their sets! If this showdown at Body Movements is anything to go by, we've got a lot to be excited about. There's plenty to dig into for Pri, to start you off here's that Lab set, and her recent playlist for Diwali!
Anyone who knows, knows. Borge is one of the the brilliant crew behind the Lemon Lounge, the community-driven soundsystem of dreams that you'll know well from Brainchild and We Out Here. It's also safe to say that he's one of the best DJs on the planet, and we are DELIGHTED he is gonna be bringing the sauce to our Winter Warmer. Here's a little flavour of the mischief he gets up to, a very silly (and most excellent) set from the inaugural Lemon Land this year, up on his Worldwide FM slot.
We first met Papaoul as a stage manager at our festival a few years ago, and it's been amazing to follow his rise since then - now a regular treasure on Worldwide FM, and beginning to play out some sensational, percussive sets in the festival & club-sphere - spanning everything from reggaeton to kuduro, baile funk to broken beat. His sets at Brainchild this year were pure fire, and we cannot wait to have him back with us. Dive into his Worldwide shows, they're gorgeous - spotlighting new, mostly electronic, Latin American music and artists from Latin America and here in the UK, and a Hootenanny mix here.
Longstanding Brainchild family, Ben is a South London-based producer, DJ and sonic experimenter - as well as WOOP records boss. And probably the most prolific producer we know?! How one person can produce quite so many bangers we do not know, but some of the most loved tracks of our past year come from Ben. Ben believes music is more about attitude than it is about mix-downs. Hands on and haphazard, he hits the mark every time. Dig into his extensive EPs Nightwork, One Year Dance and Cranes in Branes (with Cecil B), as well as ‘off brand bits‘ which we are loving at BCHQ and the most recent No Bol.
