Our own genre. Our own songs. Raging & Rocking in Bangkok.



The Good Foot is a funk and rare groove crew from Ljubljana. We try to carefully pick funkadelic beats from all over the world – from classic bboy breaks, soul mod bangers and yugo beats to afrobeat, modern (deep) funk… It’s a loose musical concept (no, we’re not funk purists!), but it’s also a fact that most of the music played was made in the seventies. Our most prominent project is a yugo mix series called Tetkine radosti. Get on the Good Foot!

Moxie are an Alt Folk band from the West of Ireland emerging from traditional Irish music roots.

Moxie have been sharing their exuberant energy and passion for music on stage, inspiring audiences and musicians with their new palette of 21st century Irish music. After touring their debut album “Planted”, they have been delivering unprecedented shows around the globe in countries such as Vietnam, Australia, Canada, the US and countries across Europe. They are now ready to announce a new album! The record will be disclosing an original collection of songs and instrumental tracks which is to be released in autumn 2020.

Ensemble Ériu, a septet led by Jack Talty and Neil O’Loghlen draw on a wealth of creative sources to perform arrangements of Irish traditional music rooted in the styles of West and North County Clare. The group brings together a chamber ensemble of some of Ireland’s most exciting young musicians from a range of performance backgrounds. The result is a unique combination of the fresh and familiar, a soundscape that is creatively progressive, yet rooted in tradition.

Its not trad but its not folk either, a mix of rip-roaring delicately played instrumental compositions taking inspiration from all over Europe, together with  spectacular vocals. The Silken Same's music has its roots in the folk and traditional realms for sure, but has the scope to reach a wider audience.
 
Stating off life under Mossy Nolan's own name, the duo released an album first in 2012 and an EP in 2016. The album received lavish praise from well-respected corners of the musicpress, and topped album of 2012 polls. It comprised of elegantly crafted songs and tunes both original and traditional played on Bouzouki and Mandolin. Colm's edgy style of guitar playing, both acoustic and electronic, adds a dynamic characteristic throughout the record and compliments the material beautifully.

Their first release as The Silken Same was traditional song Jennifer Gentle.
