Presenter Bio:

Blair, better know as B-Syde, has been a producer, performer, beat maker and loop layer for over a decade. He is also a multi-instrumentalist that utilises live production to manipulate and loop audio from an array of instruments, sequence tight drum breaks and manifest chunky bass lines. B-Syde’s live performance is a captivating whirlwind of musical genres, as he seamlessly layers roots-y guitar licks with jazzy piano rolls, creating a lush soundscape for those big bass lines and funky drum grooves.
