"Pure festive disco goodness from the resurrected post-punk legends MXMJoY (née Maximum Joy) continuing their 2nd wind with typical alacrity`" Boomkat on - Joy Again - out 1.07.22

Reviews of P.E.A.C.E. 

"New LP P.E.A.C.E. maintains all of the things that made Maximum Joy’s music so good - great grooves, Slits-esque bravura and the ability to cross between genres at will - and update it with modern sonic techniques and production styles. The resulting sound takes in so much of Bristol’s rich musical history" Bleep

“…..The return of British punk-funk trailblazers …[Maximum Joy] ..  their sound still resonates over three decades later ….now reformed as MXMJoy…. new album P.E.A.C.E. ..a blissful amalgam of electronica and R&B, laced with grittier, brooding undercurrents that hark back to their early-’80s vision” Vinyl Factory

As recommended in Vinyl Factory – the 10 best albums to look out for in February 2019

“..Their trademark ‘funk-punk’ sound lives on in this album stabby bass guitar grooves as well as .. simmering synths….with sliding airy vocals lending a spooky quality to the tracks…A celebration of togetherness”  Crack Magazine 7/10

“Hugely important to the evolution of the Bristol post-punk scene, they can still produce compulsive dance beats in avant-garde electronic settings..” HiFi News

Guardian - 4 out of 5 stars.

Maximum Joy’s spiky joyful post-punk funk rose up from the fertile Bristol scene of the late 70’s/early 80’s, when local musicians inspired by the likes of punk, Albert Ayler, I-Roy and Funkadelic grafted their music on to the politics of punk rock. The music they made mixed punk, reggae, funk, jazz and hip-hop grooves with wild improvisation and attitude – these dance-dub tunes sound fresh and alive today.
In 2015 Rainforth spearheaded the reforming of the band to play at Bristol’s Simple Things festival – she was joined by original members Tony Wrafter and Charlie Llewellin along with new players James Byron on guitar and Marek Bero on bass.
Since then Janine and Charlie went on to release a new album P.E.A.C.E in 2018; Joy Again EP in 2020.

Multi-instrumentalist who investigates sounds as inner places. Dark but dreamy, brutal but tender her music is ambient lightwaves, experimental soundscapes and reverberated echoed clouds.

SCORPIO-L is a Macau-born London-based singer-songwriter, audio-visual artist, producer and director. As a self-taught one-man band, he has spent a decade to build up his own musical universe. Combined with enigmatic melodies and beats with deep vocals, his music has a nordic hint and a twist of oriental. He always likes to manifest social phenomena like mental illness, dark revelation and even politics and religion through music. In order to let more people understand the philosophy from his music, SCORPIO-L sings in English principally, but sometimes he hums as ad-lib in his own language.

Belisma is an Italian electronic music duo from Rome.
Its sound is a cool mix between new wave, dream pop, shoegaze and garage, and it is inspired by first 80's disco productions.
