Showcase: Divorce From New York (ES)

Together with his partner Borja Piñeiro he is the founder of the duo Reykjavik606 (who have worked with the likes of Tenderlonious & Ishmael Ensemble). Alvaro Granda aka Divorce From New York embarked on a solo career and released his debut album ‘This Ain’t Jazz No More’ (Forbidden Colours) in 2021 making it to Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM and receiving support from Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6 Music), Jamz Supernova (BBC Radio 1Xtra), John Gomez (NTS radio) or Errol (Touching Bass). He has been making a name for himself as a gifted electronic artist, creating some exquisite syncopated jazzy sounds which bridge the gap between jungle, broken beat and house, all held together by an infectious ability to sample classic jazz artists from his own record collection. In 2022 he released “Sausalito” (High Praise) and made it to The Line Of The Best Fit’s Best Albums of the Year, also featured on Don Letts’ BBC6. This has led him to play at festivals and clubs such as Jazztronica (Barcelona. Spain), Kala Festival (Dhermi.Albania),Jaguar Shoes (London. Uk), Bime fest (Bilbao. Spain), ESNS Festival(Groningen. Netherlands), Club Ost (Berlin.Germany), Great Scape Festival Germany), Great Scape Festival (Brighton. UK), Ship Festival (Sibenik, Croatia), Rinse FM (London, Uk) and many more.
