F*** me it looks like a spaceship in here. That’s how the builder reacted when entering Endaf’s studio for the first time. Music Producer. DJ, Promoter & Record Label founder, Endaf has been busy spinning records and twiddling knobs for 10 years and hails from the mountains of North Wales. His productions showcase his introvert and extravert sides ranging from his mellow, jazzy electronic jams influenced by the likes of (James Blake, FKJ, Ifan Dafydd) all the way to his let’s see that bass face House bangers made for the club.

His club night ‘High Grade Grooves’ has a weekly residency at Cube Nightclub, Bangor, this is where you’ll hear his unreleased tracks first, so becoming a record label was the natural progression for High Grade Grooves to distribute his music worldwide.

GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) and love for cables has led to Endaf creating a live set consisting of Synthesisers, Drum Machines, Samplers, Step Sequencers, MIDI Controllers, gives the power of creating and remixing electronic music LIVE, allowing room for improvisation making each performance unique.  Expect to hear those Lazy Jams of his, but with a fat 909 beat behind, transforming them in to club bangers.  

2019 has been a big year having been selected as one of BBC Horizons 12 supported Artists and the unveiling of the Live Set.  Expect a stream of releases coming your way for the rest of the year, including exciting collaborations with artists such as Eadyth, Ifan Dafydd, Dion Jones & Sanna Hartfield.

En-daf…. Yes it’s also his actual name, it’s Welsh ok.

Songwriter / Musician / Producer. 
Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales, Earth.

Gai Toms (Guy Toms) is considered a strong and colourful thread in the Welsh language songwriting fabric. His current album ‘The Wild, the Tame and the Feral’ (Sept 2015) shows that he is very capable of coming up with the goods in English too. A talented self taught musician who learned his craft in grassroots music circles, now a prolific songwriter with a decent repertoire to his name. He is also the guitarist in Welsh alt rock band - Brython Shag. 

Co-founder member of the excellent ska-rock band - Anweledig (Invisible) and main man of the award winning folk concept - Mim Twm Llai, Gai Toms draws on his musical past, applying it to new works with a refined focus. Early songs are collage's of his post-industrial square mile while his latest songs are more diverse in content, expression and tenacity. Lyrics play a major role in Gai Toms’ music, usually dictating the music style. Styles vary from folk revival to indie rock, but he’s also not afraid of a bit of experimentation. Influences - Woody Guthrie, Meic Stevens, John Prine, Nick Cave, Gruff Rhys / SFA, PJ Harvey, Conor Oberst, Ty Segal, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash, Bjork, Tom Morello... and more!

Live, the Gai Toms band consists of top musicians who can raise the roof with up-tempo numbers as well as the hair on the back of your neck with the slower songs. Gai’s vocals are reminiscent of The Clash’s Joe Strummer, giving a punky edge to the whole experience. Solo acoustic sets are commonplace for Gai too. 

From toilet circuit gigs to festivals such as SXSW (Austin, Texas), Smithsonian Folklife Festival (Washington DC), The National Eisteddfod and Festival No.6. (Portmeirion, Wales) Gai Toms has embraced a range of experiences, and is yet hungry for more.
