Propeller Recordings:

The simple philosophy of Propeller Recordings is to release music that truly deserves to be heard. The people at Propeller Recordings pride themselves in the fact that their artists are the main focus and our core business is the finding, the developing and the marketing of musical talent. We aim to work closely with our artists in all fields of their careers, helping them to fulfill the potential in their music and artistic work, creating a long term career for themselves. 

Our catalogue is diverse and we see no limits for what we can work with, as long as the music sounds good. We focus on music we feel can have a life also outside of Norway.

Wherever we find fans who want to embrace great music, we seek to give it to them. 

Our artists include: Highasakite, Sløtface, Dagny, Frøkedal, Amanda Tenfjord, Thea & The Wild, Moddi, and more.

Painter of words and singer of songs. New album "The Record" available on iTunes: http://goo.gl/fQVwDF

A duo formed by Sicilian singer/songwriter Emyl and Australian singer/songwriter Sam Willoughby.

I have so many unreleased jamz and song ideas I've decided to put some of them here. Sadly most of them I cant find because HDs disappear. I have at least 3 albums of (often terrible) material that I'll never find again. But as I find lost tracks I'll try and put them here even if they suck.

Since the birth of the label in 1997, FatCat has always had a solid engagement with material sent to us as demos. Where numerous labels will throw demos straight into the trash unopened, at FatCat we've always made an effort to listen and reply to every demo received. Numerous FatCat artists have been picked up having been discovered in this way (including Frightened Rabbit, The Twilight Sad, David Karsten Daniels, Welcome, Odonis Odonis, Get Back Guinozzi!, Silje Nes, Ensemble, Xinlisupreme, Songs Of Green Pheasant, Janek Schaefer - to name just a few), and it has always been really exciting to unexpectedly discover something great in this way. Just as when we started, this philosophy of keeping an ear to the ground and attempting to support good new creativity remains at the core of what we do.

With rapid changes in technology of recent years, the majority of demos are now sent to us electronically, but we are still happy to receive material through the post as CDs (please mark as 'demo submission' and mail FatCat Records, PO Box 3400, Brighton, BN1 4WG). Whilst we are still receiving a high quantity of demos, with our ever-busy release schedule and ongoing commitments to an expanding roster of signed artists, FatCat are now finding fewer opportunities to physically release material from new artists. As an antidote to this, back in 2004, we began using our website to showcase the best of the demos we were receiving. Alongside a DIY microsite built specifically to help people who wanted to release their own music, we hosted the our favourite demos online, with artwork and MP3s available for free download. In 2010 we began to use the more immediate freedom of SoundCloud as a platform - setting up a dropbox for people to submit tracks to and a player on the front of our site to showcase the best demo submissions. 

In February 2012, the new and improved FatCat demo site you are now using was launched, again using SoundCloud as the engine to drive the site. We have kept all of the the original demo artists on the new site - grouping them in collections archived by year. There is a lot of really great material stored away here, so please do spend some time looking around. 

The choices of who we have asked to join this archive are highly selective, and we make no apologies for this. These are tracks we consider to be really good quality material, tracks that we are happy to help promote and to have associated with FatCat. If you like what you hear here, then please do download the tracks and share this music with your friends.

I started writing songs at the age of 15.
At the age of 18 I went to Ireland and France and I spent my time busking in Galway, Dublin and Paris.
In 2005 I won a very important competition, CORNETTO FREE MUSIC FESTIVAL and I played with international artists such as JAMIROQUAI, JOSS STONE, MORCHEEBA, US3... In 2007 I won a competition called TALENTI PER NATURA (naturally talented) organized by an important radio called LIFEGATE RADIO in Milan. IN 2008 my song "NIENTE DA DIRE" was on air for many months as the theme song of the national Italian radio program DEMO RADIO RAI 1. In 2009 I won the NOKIA music competition called NOKIA MUSIC TRENDS. LAB and the song "Angie's lost" has been included in a Nokia compilation. In 2009 I went to play in PARIS for "LA FETE DE LA MUSIQUE" just behind the NOTRE DAME CHURCH. In 2010 I played in London and in Switzerland.
I have played as opening act for the Italian independent artists, CRISTINA DONA’ and MARTA SUI TUBI and for the American singers TERRA NAOMI and ADAM LAMBERT.
Tsome years ago, back from London, I started busking again in the streets of Milan-
I am currently based in London and I perform  in its beautiful streets and squares as a street musician
