The Faces Of Afro House and Les Gout Int join forces at ADE 2026, creating an inclusive space for networking, live DJ sets, talks and interviews. Artist Lebo: Artist Lebo is a UK-based Afrotech & Afrohouse DJ/vocalist/Songwriter and founder of The Faces Of Afro House. Hailing from a quiet area in Vaal, South Africa, music has always been a way to be herself in uncomfortable realities, and ever since she entered a studio, she has never looked back. While working with renowned international house producers from all over the world, she manages to keep the authenticity of her SA roots by retaining the Afro House Elements, grasping the South African atmosphere and the Essence of the United Kingdom, with a sultry touch of affection. Artist Lebo has featured on music with some amazing producers such as Corinda, Afrikan Roots, Calvin Fallo, Soultronixx Deep, Rosario, Tekniq & Candyman, to name a few. Ryan Anthony: UK-based Ryan Anthony is an instinctively creative Deep and Afro House DJ and producer. His drive to create led to the development of the brand Les Gout International. Ryan has a natural inclination to encourage creative flow in others, and he moulded his brand into the perfect platform to showcase artists’ work, regardless of their pre-existing experience and exposure within the electronic music community. In an ever-evolving industry, Ryan never loses sight of what is meaningful to him - sound, vision and collaboration. Nuno Peres: Nuno is an A&R, events curator, and artist‑strategy advisor whose career grew from writing and recording songs as a teenager to supporting peers from behind the scenes. Over time, his focus shifted to understanding music contracts, revenue models, and campaign strategy — leading him to advise artists on music videos, and early management. Today, he co‑founds Ubuntu, a Manchester‑based collective producing hybrid cultural experiences that fuse Afro house music with fashion and Southern African community storytelling, and serves as A&R for Afroholic Records. In that role, he concentrates on artist development and helping position the label within the world’s expanding Afro‑house landscape, drawing on a cross‑continental perspective shaped by his background and network. Shannon Birchall: Shannon is a UK-based Occupational Therapist, with psychology at the core of her practice. Her experience lies within mental health settings and, more recently, early intervention in psychosis. She’s always been tuned into the creative and sensory needs of the people she supports. Outside of her clinical practice, she channels her experience into the electronic music scene—helping artists understand their sensory needs and emotional rhythms so they can create without burning out. Malandro: For Malandro, music comes from the heart — particularly when it carries the spirit of South Africa. His sets bring together deep, infectious grooves and South African rhythms, creating a sound that connects his roots with audiences around the world.
