Millie McKee
Millie McKee is an ever-growing digger and music selector based in Bristol, UK. Her relentless, no-bounds approach to music has resulted in an impressive knowledge and understanding of jazz, rock, dub, psychedelia, and more. The recent success of her My Analog Journal mix has enchanted the world with her eclectic, open-hearted style. Her 12-month residency at the legendary Love Inn in Bristol, consisting of a 7-hour set every month, has proven her abilities in curation, flow, and doing something different in a space that is typically dominated by electronic music. She's fearless in her exploration of what defines 'dance music', and continues to challenge audiences to embrace sonic diversity.
DJ Devolicious (Booty Bass)
Devolicious is a genre-bending, versatile DJ serving up cross generational, rhythmic, lyrical, bass and percussion-driven tunes to dance yourself into joyous ecstasy. Member of the Booty Bass DJ collective, Devolicious can be found hotting up dancefloors at events, clubs and festival fields from the Westside to the East, the sexy South to the naughty North and across ya airwaves.
Ario (Astral Industries)
Followers of ambient music will no doubt know Ario as the man behind Astral Industries, the revered label that fuses reissued work with new releases from some of the most exciting artists in the genre.
Yet London-based Ario is just as much a DJ in his own right, with a sound that evades neat categorisation: drawn to the “deeply ritualistic and primal” side of drone, and still partial to the occasional dance floor set, he is reluctant to get too concrete when discussing his own music.
"Ultimately, I feel the best approach to DJing is just to play what you love. The rest will fall into place if and when it is meant to."
Frankllin
Frankllin has never been shy of exploring the unknown. Tirelessly perfecting and honing his sound; a fusion of rich melodic textures, hypnotic grooves, driving rhythms and the occasional warped words of his own.
His passion for producing began to flourish as he experimented and explored the magic of analogue machines; getting deeply into the world of synthesis, composition and sampling.
Frankllin’s eclectic and freeflowing approach to DJ’ing is driven by love for the craft of music making.
DJ HombreLobo
Born from the heady days of early 90s free parties, through club residencies, radio shows and regular festival appearances (Glastonbury, WOMAD, Fantazia, Boomtown, Shambala, Love Saves The Day, and many more) HombreLobo's focus has always been on a constant and unwavering pursuit of the GROOVE.
A long time stalwart of Bristol's night time shenanigans, he can frequently be spotted at the Plough in Easton - packing a record box brim full of groove nuggets and playing a bombastic selection of Funk, House, Disco, Afro-beats, re-edits, mash ups and all round general block rocking beats. A belly busting diet of choice prime cuts, full fat funky fillets, awash in disco gravy, drizzled with a piping hot butt shaking sauce - and served with a good times roll. He throws down boogie bombs that explode on the dance floor in a beautiful, hedonistic multi-coloured cacophony. If music be the food of love - then you'll probably want a second helping…
Garry Spacepope - Cardinal of Tomorrow
We had set our hopes high to book the legendary Garry Spacepope, widely acclaimed as the best DJ in the world. His incredible mixing skills, stage presence, and ability to connect with the crowd are unmatched, and his headlining performances at major festivals and clubs have left his fans devoted and loyal.
However, it appears that fate had other plans for us, and all we could manage to book was a tribute DJ. As the song goes, "This is just a tribute, you gotta believe me, and I wish you were there, just a matter of opinion."
While we may not have the real Spacepope on the decks, we can still enjoy a night of amazing music and honor his neverending glory through the tribute performance.
Morning Gloria
To the surprise of absolutely no-one, DJ BJ recently announced he prefers to ply his trade whilst wearing women's clothes and this year will be taking to the decks as the fabulous Morning Gloria.
'Like Pat Butcher on a bad day' say some. 'Imagine Meatloaf and Scary Spice had a talentless lovechild' say others.
Not one shy away from standing up in the crowd, Morning Gloria loves to arouse you with your adolescent dance floor favourites, complete with a spattering of bassy remixes and delicious drops. Standing to attention, she will take you on a firm journey to a jaw dropping climax!
Tashed Matato
Your faithful hosts, insieme founders Tashaboo + matato met under the stairs at a rave many moons ago - and we still haven’t stopped dancing. We love music and love to bring people together – insieme – means “together” in Italian. Our aim is to collect like-minded, real music appreciators to create something special.
Rossi B
The one and only Rossi B. Purveyor of certified bangers and vintage slammers and a veritable legend on the Cardiff scene.
Rossi B brought his unmistakable style to Bristol and almost blew the roof off the Old Stillage for our last Dance Mode party - check out that set at mixcloud.com/dancemode
We can't wait to welcome him back for his second time at insieme.
Reach for the lazers. Safe as fuck.
Saxon James
Having started the Obese Beats nights 15 years ago, Saxon James has since played such legendary institutions as Ministry of Sound, the egg, Lakota, Crofters Rights, and the Winchester.
Let's have a nice cold pint and wait for all of this to blow over :)
Squidge
One of the co-founders of UNHU festival, Squidge is mostly known for their psytrance stompers, but this year will be branching out to new pastures, both musically and environmentally. Squidge is looking forward to trying something different for insieme, experimenting playfully with organic vibes for the best of starts to Saturday daytime. Squidge is a natural connector, a wonderful human being and someone who - leading by example - truly lives their belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.
On asking Squidge what would best describe what they're strirring up for their set, they said "starting your day with an organic cup of magical breakfast tea” ♀️
Washer
When it comes to DJing, Washer is a savant. Equipped with an encyclopaedic knowledge of tunes from across the ages and genres, Washer is both versatile and chock-full of rhythm. With his eclectic sets striking a fine balance between heavy hitters and organic vibes, expect to be taken on an atmospheric journey of mysterious beats and earthy nodes for a juicy time.

ABOUT
Your faithful hosts, insieme founders Tashaboo + matato met under the stairs at a rave many moons ago - and we still haven’t stopped dancing. We love music and love to bring people together – insieme – means “together” in Italian. Our aim is to collect like-minded, real music appreciators to create something special.
Rave the Date, Bass Odyssey, Sunday Funday, and Dance Mode - we’ve put on small parties in various locations in and around Bristol over the years. During the pandemic, we thought creatively about how to connect with friends and dance again, and found the perfect partner in a beautiful farm, thus, insieme was born.
We look forward to dancing with you very soon :) - come join us!
