ROISIN Murphy, the Ezra Collective and Black Star have been added to the line-up of a Dorset festival.

We Out Here runs at Wimborne St Giles between August 10 and 14, the first year the event has been held in Dorset after moving from its previous base, in Cambridgeshire.

Founded and curated by DJ and producer Gilles Peterson, the award-winning festival features scores of artists.

Joining previously announced acts Nubya Garcia, Makaya McCraven and Yazmin Lacey are Ezra Collective, Roisin Murphy, Knucks, Black Star (Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def & Talib Kweli) and Nia Archives.

A spokesperson said: “A festival for all: the programming doubles down on the festival’s ethos of platforming genre pioneers alongside exciting emerging talent; across the eclectic genres festival-founder Gilles Peterson has championed throughout his 40-year career.”

They added: “We Out Here platforms the best in live music alongside club and dance music culture, and today an expansive lineup of DJs representing both the roots and future of the dancefloor is announced.

“Omar S and Eris Drew lead the charge here, bringing the heat of their hometowns Detroit and Chicago respectively – the birthplaces of House & Techno – alongside fellow exports Ash Lauryn and Marcellus Pittma for a true celebration of the US’s iconic dance party spirit.

“Other DJ debuts are set for disco purveyors Horse Meat Disco, beloved band Jungle and broken beat pioneer Dego.”

Elsewhere, the programme honours 30 years of seminal drum and bass and jungle labels Metalheadz and V-Recordings, with names including Goldie, DJ Storm, LTJ Bukem and Roni Size.

And representing the family-feel community spirit the festival has established over the years, welcome returns are set for festival favourites Mr Scruff, Coco Maria, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, Josey Rebelle and Patrick Forge.

Gilles said: “I’m very excited for summer 2023 now. We’ve added over 100 musicians and DJs to this year’s line-up, featuring some of my favourite acts right now and exciting new talent in the scene today.

“There’s even more to come over the coming weeks as we continue the warmup to We Out Here Festival 2023.”

The 2023 edition of We Out Here will be the fourth – and the first in Dorset.
