Digital jam features three main projection spaces. The main stage is where it is at for the party people. The main stage will feature continuous music and projections from 8pm till midnight.
Danny Sangra studied at Central Saint Martin’s. An established artist and illustrator he has collaborated with brands such as the BBC, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Nylon, Louis Vuitton and Show Studio, and has shown solo exhibitions in London, Europe, Tokyo and New York.
A combination of his graphic work in the fashion industry and his love for film, led to a move into directing fashion films for various up and coming labels. Incorporating this with his love of music, Danny began creating promos and visuals for the likes of Metronomy, Goldielocks and Chapter Sweetheart.
And if all this wasn’t enough, Danny has also found time to co-run a knitwear label 'AMS' and co-direct 'The Knocking Shop', a delightfully warped online music chat-show.
“The arch media manipulator… Buttress has been making mash-ups long before the term was even invented”
“A celebration and decimation of the songs of yesterday and today to form music for the ears of tomorrow.” / Clint Flicks
“Buttress O’Kneel is the P!nk of the electro-activist world, or perhaps the Negativland of breakcore, or, perhaps even more accurately, the Mother Theresa of bio-anarchic post-grrl underculture.” / Last.fm
“She has dedicated her life to fighting the reptilian mind-control agenda, whether or not it actually exists.” / Alias Frequencies
