Multi-instrumentalist and producer Ben Carr – better known as CARRTOONS – effortlessly switches between genres such as soul and modern beat culture. He’s become one of today’s most sought-after producers, due to his exceptional social media videos, captivating live sets, and the huge success of his Saturday Morning (2020), Homegrown (2022) and Saturday Night (2023) albums. As an artist, his unique signature is created by his characteristic basslines and warm, retro-inspired sound, which gained him multiple appearances at the prestigious NPR Tiny Desk Concerts, and praise from big names such as DJ Jazzy Jeff and Pete Rock. Collaborations with the likes of Usher, George Clinton, Jadakiss and Freddie Gibbs highlight his versatility, while he remains firmly rooted in his own musical identity. His latest project Space Cadet (2025) presents a cosmic, free-thinking sound, and once again features some top-tier collaborators, which ties in perfectly with the free, genre-transcending atmosphere of this festival.
