Rosie From The Block

- Jazz/Funk/Soul
Brussels-based producer and DJ Rosie From The Block makes a welcome return to Spiritland.
Whilst her Roselien moniker has been rushing through the London
jazz, soul and rnb scene by various live shows downtown and her
monthly "La Vie En Rose" radio show on Totally Wired Radio in the
east side of town, her newest project Rosie From The Block came
out of the blue on Antwerp based imprint ‘Vice City’ with refreshing
but sharp broken beats, soulful and gospel like vocals along with a
strong message and a soft touch of herself.
She already caught attention and support from big names worldwide such as Reggie Watts, IG Culture and Lefto, a remix from Kaidi Tatham and support shows for Gregory Porter, Meshell N'degeocello, The Jones Girls and Bilal, Roselien is at least Belgium's hardest working girl within her niche.

Oscar Arroyo returns to Spiritland! 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.

Expect all manner of earthly delights from the deep and diverse to the strange and funky, music to pull you out of your week, your problems, your head, the noise of your thoughts and allow you to just think less, be more present and boogiedown.

Leon Vynehall is part of a vanguard of artists expanding the ambition of electronic music. Highly regarded for his creative and forward-thinking musical output, Leon has established himself as a genuine artist of musicality and craftsmanship across the world.
His debut album ‘Nothing Is Still’ and follow-up ‘Rare, Forever’ received widespread critical acclaim. Alongside accolades for his achievements as a producer, Vynehall is just as celebrated as a DJ.
From a shortlisted ‘Best of the Year’ Radio 1 Essential mix, to his now cult-like entry to the ‘DJ-Kicks’ series, and a lauded Fabric Presents, as well as podcasts for the likes of Resident Advisor and DJ Mag, and a recent stint on the Radio 1 Residency, Leon has toured the world, playing club booths and festival stages alike.
We could not be more excited to bring him to Lisbon to do his thing.
He'll be supported by Spiritland family Avi Del Mono who has an immaculate feel for warming up a dancefloor with a bass-orientated selection.
