Human In Bloom. 

A humble collision of crashing sounds and galactic ambience, the music is well driven, threaded with some bass-heavy fun. The sound of whirring spaceships and alien invaders. 

They’re standard-rockers, and psychedelic enough to the point of return. Delivering a message that shows homage to the unexpressed angst of a population, as well as its mumbling, musical gibberish. 

Coming out of Wiltshire, they seem to have lost comms with home base and crash landed in London. 

Influenced by too many artists, they come in big, and go out with a bang.

Rabbit Hole focuses on new and often under appreciated music. There are no genre restrictions. Good music is good music. However, I try to include music that is unique and doesn't sound like it's trying too hard to fit in.

Tiago Oudman moves between Lisbon, Berlin, Bali, and Mexico City, building scenes as much as he plays them. With Basement Love, he’s carved out a reputation for honest, forward-thinking parties that never chase trends. His DJ path has taken him through Fabric, Robert Johnson, Panorama Bar, Blitz, and festivals like Fusion, Garbicz, and Love International.

Co-founder and curator of Basement Love and Juicy, he’s spent years shaping dancefloors and crafting lineups that make sense in all the right ways. He now also runs programming for the Nomade Hotel group across Mexico, Ibiza, and Madrid.

When he’s not booking artists, he’s behind the decks himself—playing instinctive, high-energy sets built around oddball gems and deep-cut selections.

No ego theatrics, no noise—just a real dedication to music and the art of playing it. A DJ’s DJ with a range that drifts between Chicago house, techno, garage, and disco, always keeping the floor tight and the mood tuned in.

Co-FOUndeR of AIR FesTIVAL / BaseMENT LOvE / JUicy BAr

Solid State Drive is a collaboration between composer, studio engineer and producer Kev Curtis and many other vocalists and individual musicians.  The end product is left of field, progressive electronica, laced with orchestral and rock elements.  Think Massive Attack in the driving seat giving a lift to Nine Inch Nails and colliding with Pink Floyd giving a lift to Goldfrapp and you'd be along the right lines.
