Hailing from Manchester in the UK, acoustic-electronica trio GoGo Penguin are pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka and drummer Rob Turner. Drawing on a heady brew of influences from Brian Eno, John Cage, Massive Attack and Aphex Twin to Manchester’s grey rain-streaked urban streets, they create a brave new sound that is wholly their own.

Defined by skittering break-beats, powerful sub-bass, telepathic interplay and a penchant for anthemic melody they create an emotionally rich palate for the listener that has seen them hailed as the most exciting new band to emerge from the UK in years.

Born and raised in Sapporo, Japan, and now residing in Austin, Texas, Qrion creates melancholic, wistful, dancefloor-minded music ranging from soft, exploratory works to driving house and soul-sampling grooves. Her light and playful touch has earned her global acclaim, with releases on Anjunadeep, Last Night On Earth, Mad Decent, Ultra Music, and more, plus remixes for Booka Shade, Röyksopp, CRi, and others. Named to Forbes Japan’s 30 Under 30 and supported by BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard and Pete Tong as well as Anna Lunoe, Mall Grab, Todd Edwards, and Lane 8, she was also recognized by Spotify’s EQUAL Program with a Times Square billboard. 

In 2021 she released her debut album I Hope It Lasts Forever via Anjunadeep, was awarded DJ Mag’s Future Star, and was included in Billboard’s 20 Best Dance Albums. She has since released “High & Dry” with Sasha and the singles “Hush My Heart (feat. Josie Man)” and “Keep On Moving Up” from her 2025 album We Are Always Under The Same Sky.

KyEO is an instrumental band from Tottori, Japan.
