Sun Glitters - Popular By Design

Sun Glitters is the glitchy, summer obsessed, sun-drenched electronic project of Luxembourg musician Victor Ferreira.  In two short years, he has toured clubs and played festivals throughout Europe and received glowing coverage from Dazed & Confused, BBC, Resident Advisor, Earmilk, XLR8R, Pitchfork, The Guardian and a bevy of trend setting music outlets. Everything from the band name to the washed out pastels of the artwork to the engulfing visuals that supplement a Sun Glitters live performance screams nostalgia. Sun Glitters combines an ocean of lush melodies, pitch-shifted vocal samples, digi-diva choirs, warm bass pulses, and ambient soundscapes into a blisteringly beautiful sound.

Set In Sand - You Don't Know Me

SIS is emotional and rambunctious organic electronic music combining elements from all sources of sound and style into a hybridization of likeable sound collage, beats, and dreamy noisy sound-scapes. The mood and the purpose of the music changes from album to album, with one collection being produced with a recording from inside a swarm of bees, and another from spontaneous guitars and farm equipment. Keep your ears out for infinite new sounds.

Miaou - Hold Yourself Up

Miaou are a band based in Tokyo, formed in 2001 by Tatsuki Hamasaki and sisters Hiromi & Mayumi Hasegawa out of a university project.

Drawing from those influences Miaou went on to merge more electronic instruments and samples alongside their guitars, making music filled with swelling synths, spiraling melodies and IDM beats. Instrumental electronic dream-pop as seen from Tokyo.

K-Conjog – Battlefield

You can read K-Conjog's music as you wish. Skipping from happiness to angst, getting ligh-hearted or tribulated. But just one thing is certain:his music is surely out of tune.

Scott Hendy - What Would You Do?

Authenticity is that rarest of components; the most wanted, yet the hardest to come by. The one that can’t be bought. The one that can’t be faked. Bristol’s Scott Hendy has it. Twelve years of hard work, plying his trade, fine-tuning his art have seen to this. A DJ and producer who has remained creative through it all – before Bristol’s musical name meant something, while genres were being created, and after the dust settled – he shows no signs of slowing down. None whatsoever.

Scott’s most recent project is Malachai, a two-piece fronted by vocalist and lyricist Gee, whose genre-defying debut album Ugly Side of Love (Domino Recordings and Invada UK) has been released to great acclaim; described as “musically daring” by the NME and receiving serious praise from the likes of Radio 1 and MTV’s Zane Lowe and Kasabian’s Serge Pizzorno. Mojo went with “a stand alone Bristol sensation” but however described, Malachai’s ingenuity has been received like a breath of fresh air, with their sound a reflection of Scott’s emersion in hip-hop, 60s psych, dub and a hundred and one other musical forms.
