More Information

Groove Armada

Groove Armada

Whether playing their own brand of smooth, funky, sunshine dance tracks (with a housey, trancey undercurrent) or DJing clubs and festivals across Europe, Groove Armada remain the Kings of the Ibiza chillout scene.

For more information, see the website

Doves

Doves

One of the UK's best indie rock bands (and former members of 'Sub Sub) whose first two albums have allowed the band to dispense with comparisons and forge their own sound. Mellow guitar-driven indie with irresistable chord arrangements, which sometimes give way to playful dance undercurrents, their Glasto 2002 and 2003 sets have been festival highlights for any lucky enough to hear them.

Rodrigo Y Gabriela

Rodrigo Y Gabriela

Mexican-born guitar virtuosos playing a unique mix of Latin rhythms, Celtic lyricism, jazz, pop and the odd heavy metal riff.

Simian Mobile Disco

Simian Mobile Disco

Debaucherous minimalist rave from London duo James Ford and James Shaw. Using the kind of vintage minimal beats that only a 1980's Casio can produce, this eccentric pair somehow manage to make techno sexy with their use of static vocals and fragmented rhythms; '...twisted disco as it should be.' - RoughTrade.

Ladyhawke

New Zealand's Pip Brown aka Ladyhawke, whose eighties electro pop sound has made her name as one of the hottest new talents on the scene. 'The Cyndi Lauper for the American apparel age...twinkly, heart-racing '80s pop that leaves it's irony at the door.' - NME

Noah & The Whale

Noah & The Whale

Energetic popsters from London whose proficient songs and live sets employ beautiful harmonies and elements of folk and bluegrass to good effect. Their hit song '5 Years' Time' is sufficient to reel in any potential fan, as their packed-out gigs would suggest.

Rokia Traore

'The new diva on the malian scene' weaving a new and rich tapestry based on ancient material with her mature and authentic voice.

Au Revoire Simone

Au Revoire Simone

All-girl electro-pop trio from Brooklyn. Using vintage beats and bleeps, and candy-girl vocals, Au Revoire Simone’s music is both hauntingly sweet and devilishly innocent. ‘Their music has power from what it holds back rather than spells out, and is just waiting to be fallen in love with (or to).’ – Sunday Times
