Adam Regan of Leftfoot fame, co-festival organiser and Dance Arena programmer said: "Expect to hear anything from New York hip-hop and house, Ska and reggae to broken beats, soul and jazz. "The overarching theme of the BACARDI B-Live Arena is credible, leftfield and quirky – a real antidote to commercial dance music." Tickets
