Fans of R&B, drum and bass and electronica are also catered for the by the inclusion of five-time Grammy nominee R&B star Khalid, making his Hong Kong debut; Mercury Prize-winning Bristolian drum and bass don Roni Size, and much celebrated electronic improviser Caribou. Dan Snaith aka Caribou leads the way with a vibrant selection of Canadian talent on the bill, also including Toronto-based dream-pop darlings Always and electronic duo Blue Hawaii, recently in evidence in the UK charming crowds at the Visions Festival in East London last weekend.

Taiwanese singer-songwriter Anpu, meanwhile, returning to the event after a triumphant showing on 2014, heads up an equally impressive offering of Asian talent at what is designed to be the cream of ‘east-meets-west’ culture.

Early bird tickets are on sale now but you’ll have to move fast, as they’re only on sake until August 21. Visit www.clockenflap.com for full details.
