Formed in South London in 2011, The Discount Orchestra take their inspiration from London’s dark, anarchic corners. Conjuring tales of love, loss, and post-apocalyptic survival, over a soundtrack that dances between genres. They’ve honed their live show at packed gigs and sold-out festivals over the last 4 years (Bestival, Wilderness, Boomtown) and have earned their reputation as a band to watch.

With a line up of Sax, Trombone, Accordion, Fiddle, Drums and Bass, topped off with a combination of vocal styles, their riotous blend of Balkan influenced music incorporates elements of Folk, Gypsy, Ska, and Circus, with a healthy dose of Punk, and is perfect for a late night of raucous entertainment.

DJ Kobayashi has been digging for music around the world, you could say it’s his full time job! Anything that’s got a groove and the right melodies makes him pick the records.

He is also a member of Gypsy Hill, who are known for combining Balkan beats and Mediterranean grooves.
DJ Kobayashi has shared the bill with some great acts such as Fanfare Ciocarlia, Balkan Beat Box, Ester Rada, Boom Pam, The Apples, Robert Soko, Taraf de Haïdouks, Baba Zula, The Turbans and Penny Metal.
