Dutch & Graft, previously presented under the name The Manor, are South London MCs whose following extends across the UK and abroad. The project grew out of Beckenham in South East London, where the act staged regular events and built a local scene that followed them as their reputation spread.

Their sound draws on rap, grime, indie, garage and house influences. Their approach is distinctly British, with a tone that is honest and self-deprecating rather than polished for effect.

The Star and Garter is a Manchester venue that mainly stages concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music, so this electronic bill sits within a broader programme of live music.
