 POoK
The stuff of Norse folklore and with a brilliant mind undulled by over two decades of raving, despite his greatest efforts, POoK is as confident deploying bangers from his studio as he is storming dance floors with his inimitable mix of relentless beats and vivid melody.
 
Inhabiting a harmonic ecosystem from inception, he has spent a lifetime gathering inspiration from artists as diverse as: Hawkwind, Hendrix, King Kurt & Fred Wesley and the Horny Horns – and from genres ranging from punk, break beat, psychobilly and acid house.
 
With solid foundations hammered into the cold, dark, granite of the Welsh Mountain free party scene, his musical journey has seen him stick to roads less travelled and choose to remain in the darker realms of the sub-terra.
 
Initially concentrating on carving out his space as a DJ, organic growth from the 90s rave scene and through early progressive house - it was then that breaks became a real thing.
Fully embroiled in the scene and never content to simply exist, it was during this time (circa 2000 onwards) that his much lauded brap.fm radio show “The Beatroute Sessions” received regular nominations for “Best Radio Show” at Breakspoll. With breaks his chosen rhythm for nearly a decade it was not until 2010 when he rediscovered techno and prog-house that his focus switched back to 4/4.
It was with this move across to driving beats that also came the decision to hone his production skills – PS1 Music Maker made way for Logic which was then switched for Ableton and rather than selling his soul for quick fire success, spent time diligently putting in the hours to learn and craft the exceptional skills he holds today.
 
Now certain in his sound and ability to consistently deliver; initial releases including “Lola” (Dino Audio) have seen huge support from the likes of Dave Seaman, Davide Squillace, Aly & Fila, Paride Saraceni, Danny Tenaglia, Paco Osuna, Cid Inc, Solarstone, Soul Button and many more. Since then releases have come far and wide with a recent signing to Hollens label - Prospect Records plus EPs on Krafted, Nightshift, Dino Audio as well as Meat Katie’s label Lowering The Tone Records.

To take things a step further, POoK has launched Red Giant Recordings which has seen a string of top ten releases and achieved a number one on Beatport in the techno charts.  
 
With regular bookings across the UK and as a central figure in Brighton’s inspired, underground, electronic music scene; POoK is a rising star with sights, much like his beloved techno, set firmly on the future and all that his hard graft and undeniable talent will bring.

https://junkyardchoir.bandcamp.com/ We are Junkyard Choir, the Brighton rock duo comprising Mark Woods and Tom Herbert. One half Scottish grit, the other half Caribbean spice; one hundred percent deep south coast blues-grunge explosion. Formerly trading as 'Dos Hermanos Locos'.

“Sharp-edged guitar lines and pounding drums, there's a faint edge of the gothic to DOLLS, a sense that they walk on the dark side of the road.”
– Clash Magazine

DOLLS' own brand of infectious grunge-punk is fuelled by Jade (guitar and vocals) and Bel (drums and vocals). Having spent the last year relentlessly gigging in and around the capital DOLLS are now packing out London venues. The 2-piece are already being championed by John Kennedy at Radio X and by BBC Introducing and the band have just recorded with Jim Sclavunos whose production credits alongside being a member of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds and Grinderman, include The Horrors, The Wytches and Du Blonde.

Dirty, raw loud and heavy Dead Whisky are a blues rock band from the deep south of the UK.  Weaving slide guitar with the unique sound of the slide bass layered together over a primal drum beat the band create a big room shaking sound with just three instruments.  Over the top of this Jake and Mark take turns at lead vocals giving the set a diversity of songs.  Elements of Jack White, NIck Cave, The Doors and Led Zeppelin can be heard but the roots of this band are planted firmly in the Mississippi Delta.

The band have filled venues across the Southeast, including numerous gigs in London and their hometown of Brighton.  They have supported range of established artists including Steve Conte, The Minutes, Broken Hands, Deaf Club and Gallon Drunk.
