Emerging from the eclectic scene of her native island Guernsey, she is an alchemist of dark folk, alternative rock and electronica. Soulful and haunting, the sound Hollie Thorne captures is not always easily defined, with songwriting and arrangements as inventive as they are personal.

In her February 2024 release ‘Scorpio Rising’ she teams up with producer Flexagon to create a sci-fi soundscape for this dark pop song, described as having a ‘goth space opera vibe,’ and a riff like an ethereal Metallica - Tommy G, BBC Introducing

Flexagon is a Guernsey-based sound mangler and musical instrument collector. He is also a DJ, music producer, sound engineer and composer.

As a DJ he is known for playing long eclectic and psychedelic sets spanning multiple genres, equally at home playing ambient and chillout as he is with dancefloor-friendly music. Flexagon’s own music productions are increasingly esoteric and wide-ranging. Recent musical compositions have moved well away from four to the floor material towards the ambient and downtempo realms. Along with this has come the opportunity to compose for orchestral instruments. His first piece for nine string players, piano and found sound backing recording had its premiere performance in October 2018.

Life without distortion is possible, but pointless.

Disco Gecko Recordings was set up in 1998 by Toby Marks of soundcloud.com/BancodeGaia. Originally an outlet for just his own music, it is now becoming home to a range of artists across various genres. Rather than cater to a particular style or subculture, the Disco Gecko ethos is to promote music with heart, integrity and depth. Sometimes ecstatic, sometimes contemplative, it is always music with beauty at its core.

George Crotty has forged his own exciting vocabulary on the cello,  pushing the boundaries of the cello as a jazz instrument. Following his graduation from the Berklee College of Music, Crotty immersed himself in New York’s jazz and world music scenes, playing with several ensembles, such as the Brooklyn Raga Massive, and the Detroit-based National Arab Orchestra. Additionally, he has enjoyed fruitful collaborations with Simon Shaheen, Paquito D’Rivera, Anat Cohen, and Darol Anger.

The George Crotty Trio’s Chronotope (2022) showcases the Canadian cellist’s expressive fluidity and modal orientation. Their cross-cultural interplay draws on diverse influences within jazz and global music traditions including post-bop, modal jazz, Indian Raga, and Arabic Maqam.

One half of the Loose Roots Duo with West Coast fiddler Gabriel Dubreuil, the Canadian cellist also performs in a unique solo setting that explores his Irish and Jewish heritage.
