ROOM 1:

? THE C 90’S- Formed over a mutual appreciation for handclaps and cowbells, Jamie and Danny have been sharing their love of disco and house music since they first met in 2007. Between shows throughout Europe and tours of America, the two have been working tirelessly on remixes and original material, while always finding time to produce their world-renowned monthly chart mixes. Having spent years accumulating old synthesizers and building up an impressive studio in London, The C90s are now ready to begin work on their debut album.

?PUNX SOUNDCHECK- bring together the music that shaped them and the music that’s shaping their future, traversing disco and house, reggae and dubstep, electro and (old) rave, all the while sounding effortlessly and elegantly modern.

?STARPUNK- having already remixed the likes of NOISIA, ZOMBIE NATION and many more, this electronic duo are starting to make waves in London after leaving their homeland of GEORGIA. Known internationally for their biggest DJ export MORD FUSTANG, the two young producers Alex and Lasha aim to follow firmly in his footsteps with many more official releases coming out this year already, watch this space.

ROOM 2:

? I.R.O.K.- With two of the original members from DEAD KIDS, including front man , I.R.O.K. are the INTERGALACTIC REPUBLIC OF KONGO. Described as “violent psychotropic afro-punk” they are already one of “HMV’s NEXT BIG THING” tips for 2012 and rightly so.

? NEUROTIC MASS MOVEMENT- comprises of the songwriting partnership of DAVID and YIN NEUROTIC. Together they have developed an emotional and intuitive approach to creativity. Singer Yin Neurotic iconoclastic live performances and David Neurotics uncompromising musicianship underpins and cajoles the NMM sound. Asked recently in an interview what his guitar influences were, he said:“ there are many influences, but Tristan Tzara, Le Tonneau de la Haine and Scooby Doo, spring to mind"..... Their shows are relentless spectacles leaving you captivated by their intensity.
NEUROTIC MASS MOVEMENT have started recording. Their first EP " EMPIRE OF TIN " produced by Andre Winter, Robert Harder, Sebastian Lee Philipp (Noblesse Oblige) and Benn McGregor (Ulterior) and will be released October 2012

? WITHOUT MY MEDICINE- Without My Medicine make raucous Stadium Electro-Punk and are known for their energetic and lively shows, fusing the punk energy of the Sex Pistols with the futuristic synths and beats of Depeche Mode - Think massive choruses, ripping guitar solos and searing synths.

? ARROWS DOWN- Residing in North West London, Arrows Down has recently released his debut album 'PYRAMID' as a free download. Two follow up albums have been released in September 2011: one is a collection of acoustic songs entitled 'Billet-Doux' while the other is a concept album entitled 'I dreamt It Ended...' The band has worked with the likes of D-Code, Dice FrSH, Thermal Bear and Teflon Child. They also perfomed alongside G-FrSH on the Tinie Tempah Disc-Overy Tour and have been confirmed to return for the October/November Arena Tour.

? PHOTOMATIC- London based Marc dos Santos David brings us a dynamic twist of genres, fusing Techno, alternative rock, funk and new wave with gritty bass lines, classical melodies and rap. Being deeply rooted in Jazz, playing in several funk-rock bands Marc is also a full time composer with dance, theatre, film and installation projects.

? SKY BETWEEN LEAVES- London based alt-rock/psych/krautronica ensemble with hazy soundscapes and sharp thoughts. An emerging band we believe has heeps of potential.
