Sun Spot
Embracing a strange juxtaposition of ethereal pop hooks spliced with layers of coarse lo-fi grit - Sun Spot’s understanding of pop music is rooted in experimentation - drawing from new wave, bedroom pop, trip-hop and electronica. Their minimalist approach to the genre is saturated with bombastic, sampled drums, waves of synthesised ambience and interjections of distorted, glitched out melody harking back to the titans of early 2000’s sample culture.

“Sophisticated production that could slot in perfectly on a record from The 1975.” — MILKY
“Bedroom pop with some bite to it… gorgeous and complex melodies and instrumentation and absolutely incredible production” — VinylFantasy

Oslo Twins
Oslo Twins are a dream pop/trip hop group from Bristol, formed in 2019 having collaborated with producers Ali Chant (Perfume Genius, Aldous Harding, Katy J Pearson) and Seth Evans (HMLTD, Black Midi ). Since the release of their first two singles ‘The Edge’ and ‘Circe’, which were co-produced with Seth, Oslo Twins have been playing many live shows at venues such as Brixton’s Windmill, Bristol Beacon and The Louisiana. They have recently supported the likes of The Comet Is Coming and Do Nothing. Their music has been featured on Spotify’s editorial playlists Fresh Finds and Fresh Indie Finds, and on BBC Introducing.

“Our music is melodic and melancholic, subtly influenced by dance, industrial and lo-fi music of the 80s and 90s. But our melodies are pop melodies - we always like to have a hook.”

Night Swimming
Night Swimming are a Dream Pop band formed and based in the city of Bath, Somerset. The band take the ethereal, melodic elements of the early Wolf Alice EPs and Slowdive albums; combining them with the minimalism of local idols Portishead and Massive Attack.

After a year of performing together, the band have played sold-out headline gigs at Komedia, Bath, and supported groups such as Parlophone records’ own Sad Night Dynamite. They were also scouted by the Close Encounters Club to be featured in Glastonbury Festivals’ 2022 Longlist - chosen, out of thousands that put themselves forward, to be one of the top 90 acts.

“I was enchanted from the second I pressed play…otherworldly vocals, fragile melodies that grow stronger with the slow build in tempo, it’s captivating from the get-go.” - The Close Encounters Club’s review of “A Wall” for the Glastonbury Emerging Talent longlist

J.J. Summer
J.J. Summer are an alternative group characterised by the vocals and instrumentation of Jim Harding and Summer Sprake. Hailing from Portsmouth, UK, a city described by many as a ‘Northern town on the South Coast of England’, the band's sound and attitude is heavily shaped by its surroundings, exuding both the dirty underbelly and seafaring idealism that defines their home. The band draws musical inspiration from a wide range of surprising sources, bringing a sophisticated approach to the guitar that leaves tired symbols of rockism at the door.

“The XX and London Grammar vibes… so strong from J.J. Summer” - Steph Nieuwenhuys (BBC Introducing Music: Solent)
