Folklore Society are an English group formed in 2022. Comprising of Johnny Evans, & Wayne Edwards. Their debut album -AS ABOVE SO BELOW- is a record deeply inspired by nature, and follows the wheel of the year, through the 4 seasons, taking in the sights, sounds, & sensations whist visiting and celebrating many of the ancient folk festivals along the way.

Ben Howard returns with his 4th album, Collections From The Whiteout, produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National). The foreboding darkness that coated Ben’s second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isn’t so evident on Collections. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past, providing inspiration for a selection of vivid narrative snapshots – the death of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst (Crowhurst’s Meme); Russian fraudster Anna Sorokin (Sorry Kid); the man who stole and crashed a plane in Seattle (The Strange Last Flight Of Richard Russell); and the dismembered body a friend of his father found in a suitcase floating along the Thames (Finders Keepers). Alongside them, the personal anecdotes from the same scattered period living between Paris, Devon and Spain. Yussef Dayes features, as does Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Kyle Keegan (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Dessner. Thomas Bartlett, St. Vincent’s go-to pianist, and Rob Moose, a long-standing arranger of strings for Bon Iver, are also present. Long-term guitarist to Ben’s band, Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), remains a reassuring constant. It’s a sonic adventure that continues this nagging suggestion that Ben is one of the UK’s most inventive and naturally talented songwriters. CFTW is his latest opus, and arguably his most fully realised to date.

From the Netherlands, Robert-Jan Versluis, also known as RJVCODEX , is a pop producer renowned for his captivating blend of genres and a knack for storytelling through music. 

His journey began with the debut EP The Limit (Edits) in the summer of 2022, featuring collaborations with Isak Brown, setting the stage for his versatile musical style.

In 2023, he dazzled fans with 23 with Me - the Essentials quickly approaching 250k streams, and the emotive single Fairytale highlighted the lively vocals of Ria Sofia and Fatjon Zefi ’s soul-stirring piano. 

Robert-Jan’s ability to cross musical boundaries shone brightly with hits like Moon an uptempo dance-pop anthem, and Don't Give up on Me poised as the summer sensation of 2023. 

Fresh off the heels of these successes, he released S O L Ʌ C E in June 2024, followed by 3 singles: Get Out , Trouble & Touch , further showcasing his evolution and depth as an artist. 

2024 wasn’t quite at its end so there was time to drop ADDICTED TO YOUR LOVE duetting a lovesong with the sweet Abbey Chase and THE OTHER SIDE with Liam Meyer.
