Springing from Manchester, drawing on musical influences from around the globe, with strains of the urban and psychedelic, Da Vida explore the spaces between recognised categories of political, social & spiritual realities. Words and rhythm combine with electronic and acoustic textures to confront the distinctions between order and disorder, male and female, the mask and the face.

'Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction' deals with the transforming affect of technology on music and the arts in general. Thirteen pieces span genres of Chicago blues to hip hop, industrial and avant garde and feature Manchester hip hop artist MC Crystalize and South African vocalist Joyce Moholoagae. Inspiring, provocative, challenging.
