New single, "Back Then", out 11th May 👽

Huwbergine is a brand new artist hailing from Leeds, UK and self-proclaimed side hustle of KOYO frontman Huw Edwards. In his own words, “Huwbergine was my lockdown project. I shut myself away, worked on my production skills, shaved my head and attempted to reinvent myself".
 
His influences range from Prince, particularly Sign O’ The Times (an album that was well and truly rinsed during lockdown); to the synthy lushness of Tame Impala and Mac Demarco; to the fun loving, tongue in cheek-iness of Connan Mockasin and the tight hip-hop tinged grooves of drummer Yussef Dayes.
 
His debut and sophomore singles, “Grow" and “I’m On It”, both co-produced with Jay Russell (Yard Act), were self released in 2021. His follow-up single, “Back Then”, co-produced with Mike Horner (Everything Everything, Hot Chip) is scheduled for release 11th May 2022 via 88 Watt Records.

Bio 
From Drummer to Band to Promoter to Artist, Tom Ford has had a weird music career never settling for one thing and branching out as far as he can. 

After being out of the creating game for the last half a decade, being furloughed from his venues and very bored, kick started a fire to create once again, taking his love for the 90’s, Pop and Vocal House and slamming them together to create a party vibe.

Thrillhouse are an Alternative Indie band from Brighton. Their genre bending sound has won the praise of KEXP, John Kennedy and BBC Introducing.

With sincerity cushioned in wry humour, driving beats and ecstatic hooks, Thrillhouse push the boundaries of the contemporary Indie sound.

Taking Bruce Springsteen's grandiose, The War On Drugs' engine and Alex Cameron's sardonic tongue, Thrillhouse draw influence from the music they love

Having just finished recording their debut album, 2023 is set to be a busy year for 'Indies largely undiscovered yet most precious gem'
