Ah, Halloween, the time of the year we all wilfully pretend to ignore the fact this isn't even one of our own holidays just because we can dress up and act all eccentric. Well no one does eccentric like Cargo, and they are going to prove that tonight with a line-up that's bound to turn many heads. Inside out.
Member of French hip-hop collective TTC and founder and head honcho of acclaimed label Institubes and its little sister Sound Pellegrino (dance music label of the year hands down), Teki Latex has been producing electro-infected hip hop and spinning the most forward thinking house music we've heard lately. Get ready to bounce!
The Wire... unless you live in a cave in the Penines or you are effectively dead, you must have watched or heard about what is undoubtedly the best TV series ever created. As addictive as crack, as engaging as Sir David Attenborough at a dinner party, The Wire has been on everyone's lips for the past three years. So when the Cargo crew heard that the ultra-cool baddie Stringer Bell not only hails from Hackney but is also a badass dj, they didn't wait a second to get him down to play a set. On stage 10 pm sharp. you get me? Sheeeeeeeeeeeit.

NME compared Teeth!!! to a cheeseburger because they are awesome, satisfying and probably not that good for you. With their playful brand of junk-punk, Teeth!!! will knock the proverbial teeth out of you if you aren't careful. To make this a distinct possibility Cargo are putting them in the middle of the dancefloor. So watch out. And pogo.
22 females on stage singing songs about Crows. That's Gaggle. London’s only sci-fi riot choir are unlike anything you've ever heard before. Menacing, enchanting, deeply satisfying, and utterly original. "They look like a bunch on nu rave pre raphelites if you can imagine that and they've all got these amazing technicolour cloaks on. They sound absoloutely wonderful on air but are something you want to experience live" LAUREN LAVERNE - BBC Radio 6
