Born in South Africa in 1996 to a Zimbabwean mother and Malawi born British father, London based artist Tanya Nonthando Wilson combines the two halves of her identity by juxtaposing traditional methods and contemporary themes into experimental and personal expressions of her lived experiences. As a graduate of Fine Art: Drawing and having recently been shortlisted for the Cordis 2021 Tapestry Prize while also having her work shown in numerous galleries and events in London, Tanya wishes to express how she views the world through multi- disciplinary mediums.

Always high on the boogie but completely sober in every other respect, Aristatle mixes and mashes bangers from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 69s of the disco, soul, funky house genre. Classically and jazz trained, she might whip out her flute during set to add even more spice.

Based in London, made in Leeds, Ten Hands High's sound has evolved since their inception in 2019 and has now arrived at Vibe Central Station. Starting in classic indie rock roots, they now explore the boundaries of their genre, with each member's eclectic taste contributing to a sound that focuses on groove and atmosphere. They have consistently sold out headline shows in their two hometowns and have supported bands like Glass Caves and Luna Bay. Jack Saunders of BBC Radio 1 called their debut EP's lead single called Sweet, "euphoric". The band have been played on regional BBC Introducing, 6Music's BBC Introducing Mixtape and Radio X’s X-Posure, as well as being featured on playlists like Spotify's Students Union and Amazon's Fresh Indie.

Jamie is a Midlands-born artist, currently based in London. His work as a software developer involves a strict adherence to rules and formulas in order to create a working product. His personal exploration of art is a dichotomy of this. He seeks to break and distort software in a way to produce visually stimulating imagery.

Kit likes music. His propensity for the mix was forged in the drum and bass ridden streets of south Manchester, so he sought to play a different sound; a sound that might (potentially) have been described as ‘eclectic’, ‘juicy’ and ‘funkadelic to the point of ridiculousness’. He has stated his sole aim is to bring a selection of beats that leave craters on dance floors, and sweaty pools on the ceiling. A veteran of Indigo, Shoreditch BOXPARK (the upstairs zone) and his friend Steve’s basement, Kit is not one to miss.
