ELAND GRAY //

Eland Gray is one of the most celebrated and ground-breaking indie-acoustic musicians in South Africa today.  His unique style blends rich, moody song writing with a vast array of alternative guitar techniques and precision multi- tasking.

After 7 years of playing festivals and touring SA and Europe (including supporting Ninja Tune’s Fink), he has created a cult following and an exciting future.

“Spellbinding, epic soundscapes of surrealistic intensity… rupturing the mould of the conventional singer-songwriter” – Guardian

Check out Eland’s utopian All But Behind video for a teaser.

EMMANUEL SPEAKS //

Emmanuel Speaks is a 20 year old spoken-word poet and story teller, from London. He’s all about wordplay, story telling and ability to inspire.
Emmanuel has been performing spoken word for 3 years now and have been featured on major platforms such as Channel 4, SBTV, BBC Radio and recently put on an 11 leg, countrywide university tour, as well as headline shows in Southbank Centre and Leeds University.

Born in Nigeria but raised in the UK, Emmanuel uses this fusion of experiences and stories that inspire the hunger he has for success, within and outside of poetry.

Here’s his latest video ‘Hunger 3.0‘.

SWARM OF BEES //

Alice Drusilla, formally half of The Cordelier Club has ventured off into the wilderness on her own. Lush songs with an emotional intrigue that echoes the likes of Kate Bushes ‘Hounds of love’, Lykkie li, fleetwood mac and Haim all rolled into one fine honeycomb.
We love this track Roses by Swarm of Bees.

LO BARNES //

27 year old Londoner Lo Barnes has spent the last ten years working in music; from assisting at recording studios and labels to being a backing singer for artists including Alt-J, The Heavy and Roots Manuva.

This year sees the completion of her first solo EP where beautifully crafted songs written on a hand me down guitar meet layers of percussion, vintage organ keyboards and imaginative backing vocals, all welded together by Lo’s strikingly confident voice.
