"On top of the list is Miriam Donohue for sure, originally from Galway came as a pleasant surprise, striking in appearance, her lyrics are similar to Suzanne Vega; she tells stories of island people and boats off the coast of Connemara, of travel and love against a backdrop of her lovely plucking guitar style complimented by her smoky voice. Her last song we clicked along like her professional percussionists, nice touch Miriam -interactive and we loved it!"

" 'Bookmarks' represent's an artist who's at the beginning of a very long career. If the huge success of Laura Marling and the current love for Lucy Rose proves anything it's that there's a market for the music of Miriam Donohue and I wish her every success for 'Bookmarks' and beyond. "

Info:

Walter & Giggs are two fine chaps hailing from Brussels. 

Both are seasoned house dj's, but have over time broadened their musical taste. With over 20 years of combined experience in playing vinyl records, you see two versatile dj's who can handle any crowd that is looking for more than your average hit parade jukebox. 

Taking a closer look at the guys, you'll notice that Giggs (dj Someguy) has over the last ten years played his vinyl-only sets out to crowds from Berlin to Bratislava and from Cologne to Kiev. His acclaimed deep mix sessions go out weekly on Intergalactic FM. 

Walter (also Swimlanes), defines his style as "Wayfarer Disco", i.e. a summery mix of tropical disco and flamboyant house cuts. Recently returned from a stint in NYC, and with an impressive gig-list spanning Belgium, he has also found time to co-found the ARNOLD nights in Brussels. 

Since they joined forces and started playing as a dj duo around the end of 2013, Walter & Giggs played acclaimed sets at Stockholm S, Bar des Amis Brussels, Cactus Festival, Decadance, Barrio, Sioux, De Haus, Ausgang, ... to name a few. They also did a live mix on FM Brussel. 

At their common playground, they do what they do best: spreading feel-good vibes through quality dance music.
