More Information

Mystery Jets

Mystery Jets

'Perfectly formed pop' (Bugbear). A band who manage to do something new with the rock sound. Their music is unusual and boundary pushing, but luckily they have the technical prowess to pull it off, sometimes mastering kitchen utensils as well as more standard instruments.

Horace Andy

Hailing from Kingston, Jamaica, reggae veteran Horace 'Sleepy' Andy has been producing nothing but the finest music in the industry for over thirty years earning him legendary status both in Jamaican music and reggae worldwide. His highly distinctive, unique voice was unleashed in 1970 with his first release 'Oh Lord, Why Lord'. He went on to release a plethora of classic tracks throughout the 70s and 80s including 'Money, Money', 'Skylarking' and 'Natty Dread A Weh She Want' to name a few. Collaborating with Bristol trip-hop stars Massive Attack in the 90s gained him recognition and respect outside the reggae scene. His latest release 'Rise Up' is a collaboration with Mad Professor featuring Sly & Robbie, d'n'b partners Mafia & Fluxy with vocal arrangements from Knowledge.

Ashley Beedle

One of the great names in quality UK house music with true originality behind the decks. Has been involved in dance music for over twenty years, but had his breakthrough in 1992 with the progressive classic 'De-Niro', and is also well respected for his work with X-press 2. As far as DJing goes, Ashley has worked all over the world with residencies at MOS, Cream and Renaissance to name a few.

Hugh Cornwell

Hugh Cornwell

Vocalist & guitarist from '70s punk icons The Stranglers, one of the UK's finest song-writing talents and accomplished live performers.

Broken Records

Broken Records are a seven piece band based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Formed in early 2006 as an antidote to work, they have gigged continuously since then, seeing several members come and go from the fold. It is in this vein that Broken Records started, as a loose amalgam of musicians who would play under one banner when not doing their own work.

Port O'Brien

Port O'Brien

Folky-rock from California's Port O'Brien, the brainchild of singer-songwriter Van Pierszalowski. 'Think of the way a really good late-party singalong sounds in your drunken, echoing head: a little sleepy, loosey-goosey with the timing, but ecstatic, brilliant, meaningful, epic. Even sober and by the cruel light of day, that's the sound of Port O'Brien.' - SF Weekly.

John Smith (1)

John Smith (1)

John Smith's mesmerising percussive guitar and story telling has been winning fans everywhere. Whether it be playing the guitar lap-style like a drum, detuning the strings mid-chorus or just straight-forward rumbling fingerstyle, the Devon man's playing has prompted both hushed appreciation and riotous standing ovations.

The Airborne Toxic Event

The Airborne Toxic Event

A buzz band in the truest sense, Airborne have become the darlings of local radio and press and fixtures on the Silver Lake music scene, garnering comparisons to everyone from Modest Mouse and The Arcade Fire, to the Clash and U2. 'Occasionally you get lucky and stumble across a band at the very moment they ignite the engines and blast off into the heavens. The Airborne Toxic Event just gets louder and richer until the music practically bursts at the seams and spills its steaming guts across the stage.' - NME

Idlewild

Mr Hudson

Mr Hudson

It takes someone with foresight and imagination to pull-off the cross-pollination of hip hop and r&b beats with classic song writing, but in doing so Mr Hudson has hit upon a winning formula. A self-confessed outsider, this mixing of styles comes easy to an artist who has become the undefeated Jump Off Producer Champion of 2005. Championed by the likes of Sway and 1Xtra DJ Semtex, who were surprised to find themselves firm fans of the trilby-doffing newcomer, Mr Hudson's hybrid sound is attracting interest from all corners of the music industry.

Filthy Dukes

Filthy Dukes

In a collision of science and music came the Filthy Dukes who have since struck fear and ecstasy into the hearts and minds of those who have witnessed them. These guys have been ripping it up big time for a few years now - the Dukes will rip the dance floor apart...bring a towel with you.

Kid British

Kid British

Kid British create their own noise by mixing a bit of this with a bit of that and ending up with one big fat manky sandwich. A tasty shank of old school ska and dancehall, a generous twist of indie, a light splash of reggae, and garnished with a juicy slice of electro pop.
