La Pesch does radio, acoustic narratives, sound and voice art.
She chooses a subjective approach, sets in scene encounters and creates contact points in dialogue. She relies on techniques of collage and a structure that reflects the core message. Her focus are boundaries, transcending and blurring them, the confrontation and meeting of different horizons of experience in a given environment.

Neil Sparkes is a musician, music producer, poet and visual artist.

Vocalist and percussionist with Transglobal Underground with whom he toured the World from 1992 to 1996; Neil Sparkes appeared on all of TGU's commercially successful albums for Nation Records and Sony. 

Sparkes has worked with Peter Gabriel, Natacha Atlas, The Stranglers, Jah Wobble, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Los De Abajo, Batucada Sound Machine, Rizwan-Muazzam Qawwali (grandnephews of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan), Adrian Sherwood, Hossam Ramzy, Zion Train and Linton Kwesi Johnson amongst many others.

"Neil Sparkes, Renaissance dubster, poet and painter does not stop moving. His restless journey started the moment he found himself onstage poeticising over the dub alongside Linton Kwesi Johnson, Jalal and Jean Binta Breeze. Since then there's been Real World Recording Weeks, Transglobal Underground, the Temple of Sound project, solo albums like the resplendent Cuban dub vision of 'Burning Mask'....and that's not even most of it."" - Max Reinhardt, Straight No Chaser.

"A musical education" - DJ Pathaan, DJ Magazine

"Neil Sparkes helped turn a generation of Indie kids on to African rhythms and Western electronica. On "Burning Mask" he continues the theme adding extra dub and Latin American rhythms into the mix. Veering from party-all-night salsa and frantic jungle, to the jazzier and moodier dub of everything else, all the while driven by Sparkes's controlled, but urgent percussion." - The Independent

"Given Sparkes background as vocalist and percussionist with TGU, it's hardly surprising that his debut album is rather spectacular. Neil Sparkes has developed a sound which contains Dub, Caribbean flavours, jazz, breakbeat, poetry and Afro-Cuban percussion." Lulu Le Vay, Jockey Slut

".....a delicious organic-meets-electronic jambalaya with hearty infusions of dub, downtempo jazz and spoken word" - Andrew Duke, In The Mix

"Neil Sparkes, a mainstay of the legendary Transglobal Underground and co-founder, with that group's Count Dubulah, of Temple of Sound, makes his solo bow with this fascinating and richly textured recording, which seems to bring together every musical tradition that has ever influenced him and stir them all together into a thick stew of heavyweight beats and dubwise production strategies. The recurring musical themes are those of reggae and Cuban percussion; bask in the glow of the percolating rhythms and spacious ambience. The sinuous, jazzy groove of "The Sun Also Rises" bumps up nicely against the splashy King Tubby/Black Ark ambience of "Touch a Body"." - All Music Guide



We are The Routines. Four friends from Caernarfon, North Wales. Dion Jones on Lead Vocals and Guitar, Jamie Thomas on Bass Guitar, Tom Hayes on Guitar and Gethin Magee on Drums and Backing Vocals. Influenced by the humdrum life of full-time menial work in a place where even that is scarce and sought after. Big listeners of Pete Doherty's work, Sleaford Mods and other hard-hitting bands with spot on social observations, we have found what we like to write and sing about.
We like who and what we are and we do not hide behind a story of ourselves in our lyrics or in our demeanour. Our live shows are what we live for and they are extremely energetic. Jumping off platforms and into the crowd is a regular occurrence.
Having released a few Welsh language singles followed by a couple of English titles, we're gearing up for the release of our debut album 'Does It Work For You?', out on the 14th December 2019.
