The festival are expanding and developing the Pinters stage format, offering a 360 soundscape listening environment for jazz, ambient and experimental sounds and inviting artists that promise to explore all of the corners of the musical spectrum. Estonian violinist and vocalist Maarja Nuut (live), the rapidly rising Object Blue (live), UK jazz pioneers Matthew Halsall (live), and the Elliot Galvin Trio (live), German dubtronica trailblazer Pole (live), and the abstract and beautiful musings of Soundwalk Collective (live), are all appearing.

Jenson Interceptor is one of Australia's finest electro exports, there's sets from Carl Finlow as Silicon Scally (live), Vancouver protege D.Tiffany, Floating Points, and uniquely Jerry Dammers ex of The Specials. Palms Trax showcases his deep-digging gems, Calibre, and dBridge, offer up their unique strain of thunderous bass music and Gerd Janson will be showcasing his eclectic genre spanning commitment to the scene. Harvey Sutherland (live), Flanger (live), DMX Crew (live)Radioactiveman (live), and acclaimed composer Ricardo Romaneiro (live), all deliver live sets unconfined by genre, with Juju & Jordash (live), uniting with Move D, to become Magic Magic Mountain High (live), for a welcome live return.
