REVIEWS: "Formed of vocalist and composer, Raquel Peralta from NYC and UK producer, Josh Childs, hosts and organisers Stereo Kela wrap up the live music. She stands barefoot, centre stage, a mini-goddess with a huge voice in asymmetrical body paint. Their sound is hard to pin down. Skimming disco, trance, and house, it’s undeniably electronic, but I also hear swing, reggae, her operatic training, and there are eerie moments where he blows his trumpet over the beats and she boogies appreciatively. Their set is a spectacle: food for the eyes and soul, as much as the ears. At the end, she raises her hands: ‘We love you so much,’ she announces, and the reverb is still on, and it echoes, and keeps echoing…" - Catherine Bell of Bristol 24/7
