Katie Sky:
(LAB Records / Universal Music Publishing)
Katie Sky is a Bristol, UK singer/songwriter whose credits include numerous EDM features released on some of the most noteworthy labels in the genre (Ultra, Circus, OWSLA). Her first major pop co-write/feature was on the single 'Monsters' by New-York duo Timeflies (Island Def Jam) which she performed on Good Morning America - the track now has upwards of 16 million streams across Spotify and YouTube. Her new single is released on May 26th and the EP will follow this July.
Sam Brockington:
A magical and upbeat Singer/Songwriter with a big blues voice and remarkable talent, who's played stages at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and YNOT. He’s impressing the movers and shakers of the music industry, with acclaim coming in thick and fast. Andy Rea from 2000Trees festival has called Sam “the best upcoming singer-songwriter in Bristol”, BBC Radio 1 Producer Jacob Rickard loves his “fresh and unique sound”, while BBC Introducing’s Sam Bonham praises him as “a fantastic vocal talent with stand out lyrics and huge potential.” He’s even set the blogosphere alight, with The Flux Presents stating after a live show that they were “simply blown away by the sheer talent of Sam Brockington”.
Phoenix Club:
Bristol based Electro/Pop band Phoenix Club bring to the table an eclectic mix of harmony driven melodies laden with pop hooks, together with 80’s revived ambient synths of Years and Years esque proportions and soaring guitar lines that would sit happily in the ears of any fan of the The 1975. Collectively, these elements will leave you either dancing uncontrollably, or finding yourself overwhelmed by heartfelt vibes, that you can’t quite put your finger on. They have a great new EP ' #photogram '
