 The Rizla Invisible Players tour, currently in its third year, heads to London following a successful conquering of numerous music festivals across the country. The tour lands at Cargo, on Rivington Street in the east end on Friday 23rd October with a mini-festival of a line up that will celebrate and showcase all that’s great about the UK electronic music scene taking a five hour trip though hip hop, house, disco, jungle, dubstep and garage along the way.
UK based jungle Producer and DJ Remarc has been plying his trade for years, his tracks appearing on over 111 releases worldwide. Remarc is widely proclaimed to be "king of the Amen" and “ a pioneer of ragga jungle” due to his chopped up tracks for legendary labels such as Dollar, White House, Kemet, Labbello Blanco and Suburban Base.
Hot City is much talked about London based Producer/ DJ who takes his influences from UK garage and hardcore but with a clear nod towards the ingrained influence of US house.
Duke Dumont is one of the biggest and most talked about new names to emerge over the last few years, playing his own blend of upfront electronic music taking in house, techno and dubstep. A true DJ and production talent.
Dels (Live) is a forward thinking Hip Hop act, most known for his great tunes and live show. He is currently in the studio working on an album with Joe Goddard from Hot Chip, and the album will feature the likes of Drums of Death and Kwes.
The 2 Bears is a mysterious a new collaboration and remix project with one half an infamous London party DJ and the other a member of one of the country's hottest bands. They will play everything from R n B, disco, house and jungle and maybe even an exclusive PA of their first two releases.

The 2009 tour kicked off with two Rizla Invisible Players club nights in Bristol (Start The Bus, Friday 29th May) and Manchester (The Deaf Institute, Saturday 6th June) before heading up to Rockness in Scotland on 12-14th June. Lovebox (18-19th July), The Big Chill (7-9th August) and Bestival (11-13th September) completed the festivals seeing the Rizla Arena packed out and playing host to over 60,000 festival-goers.
The 2009 The Invisible Players, feature a new look line-up of creative icons: Jazzie B, Jon Carter, Micachu, Gruff Rhys and David Shrigley. Each with a watertight reputation for creativity and expression through music, the 2009 collective promises to take the Rizla tour to a whole new level.
Playing at festivals from a unique musical van, a recreation of the original Rizla touring van of the 1920’s, The Invisible Players and guests will play spontaneous and inspiring sets from a diverse record collection. There are no prepared set lists, just pure improvisation and the creation of a unique vibe in the Rizla Arena. The sound could vary from Dub, Electro, Dancehall, Funk, Hip Hop, Breakbeat to Northern Soul and Acid House – the roots of popular music as we know it.
