Since 2018, Oxford/London collective Mandrake Handshake have been crafting a sonic signature they dub 'Flowerkraut': a hedonistic, brain-frying feast of krautrock, art-pop and psychedelia, spiced with enigmatic grooves, fizzing electronics and fearless improvisations.

Varying anywhere between 7-10 members - including a dedicated, flamboyant tambourine shaker, or 'Bez'- their pristine, multi-limbed spectacle of a live show has journeyed up and down the UK and EU in recent years. With multiple headline tours to their name, including a sold-out show at the iconic 100 Club in March, the band can boast performances at Wide Awake, Green Man, Manchester Psych Fest, Mutations, Left of the Dial (NL), Supersonic (FR), Fusion Festival (DE) Wilderness and How The Light Gets In, as well as shows with psych-figureheads W.H Lung, Pale Blue Eyes, Triptides and Sugar Candy Mountain.

This summer, the band headline the BBC Introducing stage at this Truck Festival (as holders of Introducing Oxford/Buckinghamshire's 'Act of the Year'), also performing a special showcase event in Brighton for up-and-coming independent fashion-maker Rabbit Baby, a regular 'Mandrake' collaborator

With two critically acclaimed EPs to their name - 2021's Shake The Hand That Feeds You and 2022's The Triple Point of Water - the band's long list of press backers includes the The Independent, The i, The Line of Best Fit, Dork, DIY, So Young, Clash and NME.

Berlin-based quartet Saturno 4000 are redefining the modern groove scene with their explosive blend of Turkish and Latin psych rock, Afrobeat, and surf. Known for their electrifying live shows and intergalactic flair, the international collective brings high-energy performances in vivid costumes and otherworldly vibes.

Formed in 2022, the band features Julia Beresikowa, Seba Carrizosa, Andrea Buccio, and Hannes Neupert - together crafting a sound that's as nostalgic as it is futuristic. After a whirlwind run of 38 shows across Europe, Saturno 4000 signed to Batov Records and released their debut single "Ma Belle Fille / Solar Heart" in 2024 now previewing material from their upcoming debut album - and their next show is your chance to witness the future of psych groove live.
