Featured Artists include:
Imaani – Lead vocalist for Incognito, Reel People and Copyright who can be heard alongside Amp Fiddler and Chaka Khan as part of the Hope Collective charity single.

DJ Misbehaviour – Divides her time between New York, Antigua and London and has spun for Prince, Taylor McFerrin, Meshell Ndegeocello and the Back II Life reunion for Soul II Soul. She is also one of the main DJ's for the world famous roller-skating disco in Central Park.
