Hippo Campus Hippo Campus are four Minnesotan boys making music that is infectious, joyful, and thematically soaked with the sense of cynicism accompanying the youthful search of self-meaning. The band met in High School and are still yet to hit legal drinking age but following an explosive SXSW - which marked their first shows outside their native town - the four teenagers that make up Hippo Campus are now set to release their debut EP ‘Bashful Creatures’ (produced by Low’s Alan Sparhawk) The buzz around the band at the Austin music festival was also noticed by the producers of Conan O’Brien’s television show who booked them to perform single ‘Suicide Saturday’ at the soonest opportunity. Their signing and television appearance serve as exciting markers in what has been a lightning quick but considered ascent for the band, who - having just completed their first tour of the US - are now set to make a debut trip to the UK for The Great Escape festival.

Flume Over the past two years, 22-year old Australian Flume has cemented himself as one of the biggest names in dance music. His self-titled debut album topped the chart in his homeland, beating One Direction, and since then he’s toured the world, playing to increasingly huge audiences and collaborating with some of the biggest names on the planet. Flume had his first taste of producing at age 13 from the most unlikely of places - a music production program he found in a cereal box. Fast forward six years and Flume’s distinctive postmodern R&B sounds are uniting the affections of The XX, Four Tet and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. ‘Sleepless’ featuring Jezzabell Doran sees Flume expertly blend 90’s hip-hop with leftfield dream pop. To date ‘Sleepless’ has received over 1 million views on Youtube, spent several weeks at #1 in the iTunes Australia Electronic Charts and championed by the like of BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and 6Music.

‘Left Alone’ is a yearning, late night slow grind, showcasing guest vocalist Chet Faker’s vivid lyricism and amazing control of cadence. ‘Holdin On’ a massive track online further demonstrate Flumes never- ending stream of aural textures and sound effects. In addition to ‘Left Alone’ and ‘Sleepless’ which feature Chet Faker and Jezzabell Doran respectively, the album includes guest vocal contributions by Moon Holiday, George Maple (aka Jess from Flight Facilities’ Foreign Language single) and Puerto Rican, LA based, MC T.Shirt. Since the release of the album he’s played sold out shows all over the world, including recently headlining the dance stage at Reading and Leeds, and has remixed the likes of Lorde and Arcade Fire and released an EP with long time collaborator Chet Faker. Flume is currently working on the follow up to his debut. Blaenavon Still in their teenage years, and recently free of school, Blaenavon are three boys who have taken the music world by storm.

Having played with the likes of Foals, Bloc Party and Warpaint to name a few, the band have released two EPs on Transgressive Records and have recently completed their debut album, with singer Ben Gregory starring in Burberry’s New Faces campaign. Having released previous singles 'Into The Night' and 'Denim Patches' on Transgressive imprint paradYse, Blaenavon followed up with debut EP Koso in September 2013, through Transgressive Records. The four-track offering encompasses everything good about a young band with a very bright future, flowing seamlessly from delicately picked verses to euphoric sections of soaring vocals and powerful guitars. In October 2015, the band released the follow up to Koso with their 'Miss World EP'.

The release was accompanied by shows with the likes of Songhoy Blues and Foals, as well as a performance of 'Dragon' for. 2016 has seen the boys continue to perfect their live show, with tours supporting The Sherlocks and Sundara Karma as well as their own headline tour in May, along with appearances at Glastonbury, Truck, Latitude and Reading & Leeds to name but a few across the summer.

Details of Julia Jacklin’s debut album will be revealed soon. Avid Elixir Cr Brake Lever Adjustment. Johnny Flynn Country Mile – the title for Johnny Flynn’s third album – is an apt description of a strident career that has encompassed a vast distance, along a naturally meandering pathway.

Johnny is an artist who has been led by his muse in an uncontrived fashion; his love for telling stories leading him to major theatrical and film roles, and along the way Queen Mab took him by the nose to realise certain musical dreams. Johnny first appeared on the scene in 2006 playing in numerous bands and running club nights, but ears were pricked by his first album A Larum, released in 2008. It has come to be seen as an influential musical template in recent years, with its honest recording approach and revitalising take on traditional forms of music with songs such as Leftovers and Tickle Me Pink affecting and inspiring a new aesthetic. A widened palette followed with his sophomore album Been Listening along with global touring. Songs such as Lost and Found and The Water (a duet with old friend Laura Marling) cemented his lyrical reputation, and prompted further collaborations with the likes of Anna Calvi, Barbarossa and subsequent production work with Marika Hackman, showcasing his desire to nurture and collaborate with varied and exciting new talent.

Following the album and a stint writing, producing and performing the soundtrack to indie film A Bag of Hammers, Johnny returned to the boards, appearing in Richard Bean’s The Heretic at the Royal Court, Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem alongside Mark Rylance, Richard III and Twelfth Night at The Globe and West End with Stephen Fry and Mark Rylance, before taking the lead in The Low Road by Bruce Norris back at The Royal Court. ‘Demoing with intent’ throughout this process, with long time collaborator Adam Beach (bass player in Johnny’s band The Sussex Wit), Country Mile took shape naturally in various home recording environments and eventually at Soup Studios, London, rambling towards perfect song structures from furtive ideas without the pressure of timekeeping. The title and opening track Country Mile sets up the idea of striking out and taking off - letting all fear and doubt dissipate to the imprint of your feet on the earth. After Eliot, which is loosely inspired by T.S Eliot’s style of writing, is about an abstract mis-encounter, a reflection on a relationship where the two people didn’t see the same thing happening at the same time. The Lady Is Risen sees Johnny muse on the idea of divine love and its influence on relationships. The music for the song was written years apart from the lyrics and references old Southern soul records. Murmuration – the collective noun for a flock of starlings – evokes images of escapism, flying with the birds and saints. ‘It’s a song you'd sing to get through a difficult time,’ and owes a debt to Hank Williams who Flynn listened to a lot when writing the album. Fol-de-Rol references Johnny’s love of South American folk songs and specifically a Peruvian style of music called Chicha – psychedelic 'Cumbias' from the 60s/70s.

Einstein’s Idea, a lullaby written for Johnny’s two-year-old son Gabriel, takes the theory of relativity to romantic heights; ‘It’s explaining how objects, despite being separate from one another, are still attracted to each other, but talking about that space between things the gap in between us and that same gap, it might as well be the gap between you and the stars.’ A hopeful interpretation comforting his true love with the notion that as everything is around you, everything is there for you. Flynn supported the album with extensive touring throughout the US and Europe, including a tour in the USA with friends Mumford and Sons, sold out shows across the UK and Europe and a follow up solo tour in the US and Canada, which gave us the recently released Live in Washington DC album. His thespian tendencies have not been neglected either, with a lead in Song One alongside Anne Hathaway released January 2015, and a role in Oliver Assayas' Sils Maria with Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart and Chloe Moretz. Rambling forward, the possibilities for Johnny Flynn are immense, especially with the arrival of Country Mile – perhaps the most rewarding chapter so far in this ongoing epic. As Johnny sings in The Lady Is Risen, ‘Life isn’t always like the end of your novels, things might wind up, but they always unravel.’ For all enquiries, please contact. Songhoy Blues See Songhoy Blues at Koko in London on the 4th November Hailing from the heart of old Gao, Oumar Toure and Aliou Toure were, like most kids growing up in the ancient city, obsessed with hip-hop, R&B and bands like The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix.

By their early 20s, having met young guitarist Garba Toure (son of Oumar Toure, long term percussionist in Ali Farka Toure’s band), they began to make music while at university. However, the growing unrest in the north of Mali saw Oumar, Aliou, Garba and many of their family take refuge down south in Bamako as hostilities worsened in early 2012 and their music born from this adversity.

“We met up (in Bamako),” remembers Garba, “and told ourselves we couldn’t just stay shipwrecked by a crisis like this. We had to form a band.” They roped in a young drummer called Nathanial ‘Nat’ Dembele from Bamako and baptised their band Songhoy Blues in celebration of their displaced people and culture.
