Goldie Chorus is the androgynous and escapistic alias of Emil Davidsen where anything is possible. As this pseudonym Emil creates alternative pop music not unlike some of the most interesting artists at the moment (like Ariel Pink, Connan Mockasin and Kindness) with the ability to combine soul groove, Bowie-like vocals with virtues such as the repetitive drive of krautrock and exploration of the synthesizer’s endless possibilities. @antiphonics

Mating Ritual is the pen name of Ryan Marshall Lawhon, a 27-year-old Los Angeles transplant who’s makes new age and post punk inspired indie rock. After landing multiple #1’s on the blog aggregate Hype Machine, topping the Spotify viral charts and grabbing the Zane Lowe stamp of approval with his debut EP, Mating Ritual, will release a second EP of the year, Fall Collection '16 on October 7th. @ritualmating

Kenny Moreno is an up and coming artist out of Los Angeles, CA. A professional sound engineer, always with a view of the back of the crowds heads never the faces. He needs to release his true passion of sharing his music to all that will listen. Kenny’s influences come from a wide range of reggae, rock, and pop. Kenny puts together music you can groove to with a melody you can’t forget. @kenito_moreno

Castaway Radio’s catchy, “unique kind of throwback sound” is reminiscent of Arctic Monkeys, The White Stripes and Cage the Elephant. The band has gone through transformations and contributors since its conception, helping the band develop, each step of the way. Castaway Radio brings a polished, high-energy, down to earth performance that creates an instant crowd connection. @CastawayRadband

Taylor & the Mason are two lovely ladies from Manchester who have a strong interest in good harmonies, playing guitars, and drinking gin. Long standing features of Manchester’s music circuit, Taylor & the Mason (Becky Taylor and Sally Mason) have created an energetic and distinctive acoustic live act. Their debut album is a dynamic production, recorded and mixed at Pinhole Studio. @taylornthemason

All Those Ships' Brandon MacNeil tries to stay away from more traditional songwriting tropes. The new album sounds a bit more polished than 2010’s Perils, but without losing too much of the DIY, lo-fi sensibilities which led one reviewer to describe his music as “a diverse blend of folk music drenched in sweat.” In short, it’s folk, but fuzzy. Sometimes like a kitten, sometimes more like a porcupine. @allthoseships

Communist Daughter returned in 2012 after John Solomon emerged from rehab. With a clear eyed John, wife Molly , bassist Adam Switlick, Steven Yasgar on drums, Al Weirs on guitar and Dillon Marchus on keys. They put out an EP “Lions & Lambs” and began touring the country again and gaining national attention. 2016 sees the release of their sophomore effort, "The Cracks That Built The Wall" @comdotband

Rand. Born and raised right outside of our nation’s capital, is now a resident of Music City, USA. He is 21 years old and aspires to write songs that restore a little bit of hope to a world that so often crushes it. Maybe that’s a lofty ambition, but maybe we’re supposed to have one or two lofty ambitions. listen with your eyes closed or your feet moving or maybe both if you’re feeling up to it. @randwalter

Twister entered the Surface Unsigned Festival in which they came 2nd out of 12,000 bands at the London final. They are a high energy, young and exciting four piece, pop/rock band from the North East of the UK, fronted by charismatic Stevie Stoker, who certainly knows how to work a crowd. @wearetwister
