?Without doubt WHP19 has been the most challenging and exciting season to programme since WHP began. As has been the case with every WHP venue that has gone before we don?t really know how long it will be around, so our thought was simply that we need to make the most of it for the time it’s available. The space at the Depot is a dream in terms of creating a brand new environment and to collaborate with artists and other promoters in a way that hasn?t been possible before. We?re really pleased with how its all coming together and can?t wait for September.? ? Sam Kandel.
To get you in the mood for this stellar series of shows, we have comprised a 10-track playlist of some of the most exciting acts to feature in the calendar.
Four Tet – Anna Painting
Electronic music extraordinaire Keiren Hebden, AKA Four Tet, is regarded as one of the most talented names in the scene. His latest EP, ?Anna Painting?, features three tracks which are instant bangers.
UK Apache with Shy FX – Original Nuttah 25 (Chase & Status Remix ft. Irah)

Mura Masa, Clairo – I Don?t Think I Can Do This Again

His new single with Clairo gives you a taste of what?s to come.
Marc Rebillet – Reach Out
This unique multi-instrumentalist found his fame by a concoction of talent and virality, after posting videos on Facebook of improvised loop performances made up of a synth, vocals and drum pads. His comedic style juxtaposes his raw ability – akin to Lewis Capaldi?s selling point. Guaranteed laughter and enjoyment!
Skepta – Love Me Not ft. Cheb Rabi & B Live
Award-winning artist Skepta headlines a star-studded night of hip-hop. His rise to the top has been colossal for black artists in the industry, as he has paved the way for others who may take inspiration.

2016?s Mixmag DJ of the Year tops the bill at the Homobloc event in November.
