Zylinderkopf - aka Steven Wilson-Beales - released his debut album ‘Are You There?’ in 2023. In response to the covid crisis, it presented a variety of musical styles mixed together in an effort to  escape our collective trauma - blues-driven electronica, colourful pop ballads, basic four-to-the-floor wholesome techno goodness.  

Zylinderkopf’s influences are varied - from the electronic experiments of Holger Hiller to the psychedelic richness of Hawkwind or Fever Ray. ‘The point of Zylinderkopf is that there are no boundaries’ says Steve, wistfully gazing at his copy of Baudelaire’s Fleurs du Mal.


For his second album ‘Body:Soul’ released in 2025, Steve has worked with London-based artist/producer Third Son to put the finishing touches to his album. This time, Zylinderkopf takes aim at the futility of politics and the commodification of love. “I think a love song is the pinnacle of all good songwriting - it’s just that, when I write them, they come out as these weird dark electronic things.’ 

Zylinderkopf’s third album ‘A Quiet Prayer In a Time of War’ is due to be released in early 2026. This time, there’s no singing, just a collection of musical landscapes moving between Drum and Bass, Electronica and 80s synth pop. ‘Imagine Jean Michel Jarre going out on a big night with Daft Punk and Chris De Burgh - that’s basically what you’re getting.’

Gold Digger are one of London’s most exciting bands, currently on course to explode all over the music world.

The band fuses a conventional band set-up of vocals (Steve Beales, Stephanie Smart), drums (Simon Mooney), Guitar (Anton Howarth) and bass (Richard Snelgrove) together with an electronic mesh of live programming.

Gold Digger recently finished their second album ‘Get It Together’ with Jon Astley (The Who, David Bowie). Most of these tracks were rehearsed and polished at the Premises, East London (Klaxons, Hot Chip, Unkle) over the course of 2007.

The band are now set to deliver a series of exciting series of live performances, with more details of forthcoming festivals soon.

In short, Gold Digger are:

Underground parties. Raucous gigs. Girls dancing on tables. Gangs of moshing hoodies. Blissed out club kids. Head-banging ex-punks. Grooving, long-haired stoners. Untimely arrests. Babies. Egos. Split ups. Breakdowns. Wonderful reunions. Music from the hybrid soul of a 21st century metropolis.

Butterfly Wing is a UK-based solo artist and singer-songwriter, marking his arrival with the debut release of his first full-length album, REMAIN, in late July 2025.

Emerging with a sound that is both atmospheric and emotionally resonant, Butterfly Wing draws from a rich tapestry of influences. His formative years were spent as the guitarist and primary songwriter in the cult 90s band CHiPS, where his musical identity was shaped not only by the melodic brilliance of artists like Peter Green, Marc Bolan, Johnny Marr, and Bernard Butler, but also by the pulsating euphoria and sonic textures of the UK’s club culture.

Critics and listeners have likened his sound to a diverse and eclectic range of artists, including Pink Floyd, Ian Brown, The Smiths, Dire Straits, Nick Drake, Nico, José González, Fleetwood Mac, CSNY, and Suzanne Vega—a testament to the cohesive yet genre-blurring soundscape he creates.

From introspective acoustic moments to immersive, psychedelic grooves, REMAIN is a journey through memory, mood, and melody. With a voice that feels both intimate and expansive, Butterfly Wing stands as a compelling new presence on the UK indie scene.
