Wilson & Handclap are DJs Will McGillivray & Ian Pither. Will McGillivray is a London based DJ, curator and producer who cut his teeth at the legendary early ‘00’s club night Adventures Close to Home, booking the likes of Four Tet, CSS and Justice, and DJing alongside Simian Mobile Disco and LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy. He has played everywhere from London’s Fabric to the deepest, darkest basements of Paris and Berlin, always in search of a red light and a feeling.
Ian Pither is a Brighton raised, northern-based DJ and digger who has spent the best part of two decades working behind the scenes at labels like Warp, Because and PIAS. He has great ears and even better records.
Seeing them play you're as likely to hear spiritual jazz or new wave oddities as house or disco party jams. Their sets are marked by a playful nature and a love of anything that makes you move, expertly switching across genres, continents and decades.

Oscar was born and grew up in Mexico City where he started to DJ and continue doing so in London/UK where he moved 16 years ago. He’s DJed at festivals like Glastonbury, Wilderness, Atjan Wild Islands and parties like Auntie Flo's Highlife in Glasgow, Movimientos in London, etc.
His DJ sets are highly influenced by ZZK Records (ARG), Surtek Collective and Cómeme (CL/DE) so not a classic approach to Latin/tropical rhythms but an interesting and fun one instead.
