Somewhere between DJ Screw and Bad Brains, De La Soul and Scritti Politti sits Houston’s native son, Fat Tony. For the last decade, Anthony Lawson Jude Ifeanyichukwu Obiawunaotu has been everywhere: from star-making turns on the first A$AP Rocky mixtape to hosting shows on Viceland and Super Deluxe, to co-founding a DIY culture magazine to playing every worthwhile rap party in America and burning the stage down every single time. A singular and experimentally-minded rap artist adept at both traditional regional styles and indie pop, hardcore thrash and melodic candy-painted bangers. He is punk in the platonic sense of the word: experimental and subversive, but also funny, whimsical, and virtuosic. 

Over the course of more than a half-dozen LPs, and countless other short-form gems and collaborations with everyone from Das Racist to Bun B, Fat Tony has reimagined and blurred the boundaries of hip-hop. There are a few things you can depend on in this schizophrenic world. About once or twice a year, Fat Tony will drop an album and it will sound like nothing that he has done before. There’s a spirit of creative restlessness and intelligence that runs through his deep discography. He is a national treasure, one of those rappers destined to seem forever underrated until you ask around and realize that everyone in their right mind likes Fat Tony. He is the Whataburger of rappers: if you know you know. 

Raised in Houston’s historically black and culturally radical neighborhood, the Third Ward, Tony’s mom and teachers educated him from the get-go about how this was the regional cradle for the Black Panther Party -- and how BP hero, Carl Hampton, was murdered by the Houston Police Department. It was an environment where social awareness and Pan-Africanism were always around and celebrated. His childhood home was filled with records—country music, King Sunny Adé, and Jimmy Cliff from his father’s collection, his mother’s classical music, rock, and soul, and his granny’s gospel. Then as a teenager, empowered by the internet and his discovery of independent artists like E-40, Bikini Kill, and Bad Brains, Fat Tony began recording and distributing his own music. Heavily influenced by renowned Texas rappers like UGK and Scarface, Fat Tony started playing and organizing live shows at a time when there wasn’t much of a scene for young artists in Houston. He started booking bands of all types from all over, hand-making flyers for the shows and mailing them to addresses nabbed from the Carnegie Vanguard High School student directory. 

His dedication to Houston’s rap scene earned him Houston Press Music Awards’ “Best Underground Hip Hop Artist” in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2013. Primed for more national audiences, Fat Tony began taking his music on tour and collaborated with more artists around the country. His sonically unpredictable and emotionally vulnerable music has garnered praise from Pitchfork, The Fader, and Noisey. His achievements in rap have pushed him out of his comfort zone into other performance and hosting opportunities on TV and the Internet. This fall, Fat Tony releases Exotica on Carpark Records. It heralds his most visionary work yet, an ode to the art of storytelling through music. A rich and compact iteration of rap short fiction that firmly establishes him as his own one-man genre, the preeminent post-modern griot shooting game.

My new Album 'SEROTONIN' is out now: https://armada.lnk.to/Serotonin

Gok Wan MBE is amongst the most respected and recognisable personalities across media and fashion, with award winning presenting on TV, critically acclaimed books and more recently, creating the Isolation Nation movement, whereby during the lockdown period of 2020, using his DJing and passion for uplifting and uniting people, Gok took to live streams to give his legion of followers, comfort escape and sanctuary during difficult times.
Channelling his love of soulful, uplifting house, Gok used 2020 to press forward his foray into the music artistry, teaming up with up-and-coming producer Craig Knight and UK song writing and singing legend Kele Le Roc to release an up-to-date energy filled rendition of ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’. Gok rounded off a fast-moving 2020 by releasing his ‘Isolation Nation’ compilation, curated, and mixed by him, on world renowned house label Defected Records, preselling over 3000 copies leading to a subsequent Volume 2 compilation and releasing his first solo release ‘Right Direction’ on his newly minted Isolation Nation Records in 2021.
As the world opened up, Gok seized the opportunity to unite his Isolation Nation family further, with a national tour of venues, beginning at a sold-out Brixton Electric London and subsequently seeing capacity crowds gather in Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow all the way down to Torquay. This incredible movement was buoyed by Goks own touring, visiting numerous festivals and events, leading to him performing at the Glade arena Glastonbury, Pride London, Bestival and in the main room at Amnesia Ibiza to rapturous crowds, as he released the euphoric ‘All Night Long’ single with Kumora featuring Kevin Haden, which to date has been heard on ITVs Love Island and enjoyed a top 40 hit position on itunes.
Looking ahead, Gok plans to open up the Isolation Nation brand further to the hundreds of thousands of people reached by his streams, with the hope to unify all the people touched by his message, in the live event space, as well as spreading his love of music further and wider.

Rebūke is a standout star. A breakout act forged in the white-hot atmosphere of the Irish underground music scene. An artist constantly searching for something new and exciting who’s captured that elusive thing – a sound and a style... all his own. 
  
ERA is Rebūke’s brand new world. A place for people to lose themselves in a realm of sound and vision. The first release, the double header "Glow / Void" – is an introduction to ERA's universe, where Rebūke has created a captivating sense of futurism. Carefully crafted pieces of music accompanied by a visual narrative, allowing people to experience Rebūke’s ERA vision and storytelling in full and create something truly remarkable across music releases, live shows, and a thriving online community.  
  
All of this has been built on a rock-solid discography on some of the most sought-after labels of the last decade. His Afterlife collaboration with Anyma ‘Syren’ is a magnificent piece of forward thinking melodic techno and has already become one of the most requested tracks of 2023. 
 
‘Along Came Polly’ was a game changing track that sounded like nothing else at the time. It rocketed to the top of the Beatport charts, staying there for two months. It was Essential New Tune for Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1 and established instantly Rebuke’s reputation for creative sound design. 
 
On the remix front his magic touch has been applied to a who’s who of underground music including Underworld, Tiga and Kölsch, Chris Lake, Kevin Saunderson, Green Velvet, Max Cooper among others. 
 
He continues to sell out venues across the globe and expand his fanbase with a series of carefully curated ERA live shows in Barcelona, Beirut, New York, Los Angeles and beyond.
