SOS - Sounds Of Sonata 

Sonata Collective was established in 2021, marking the official collaboration of two talented artists, ShelliOak (Kristian Smith) and Curt Lopez (Curt Lopes Faulkner Jr). Their individual sounds had already begun capturing the attention of thousands of listeners, but together they formed a dynamic duo with a vision to elevate their craft to new heights. Their upcoming releases promise to resonate deeply with even the most seasoned ravers.

Since then, the duo has gained recognition on some of the most respected labels in the scene, including Glasgow Underground, Origins, and Mood Child. Their work has been supported by industry heavyweights such as Solomun, Jamie Jones, Ben Sterling, Paco Osuna, MK, and Lee Foss, further cementing their reputation as rising stars.

Their standout track to date, "Simon Says" featuring the talented MC Tone Blanco, has been a game-changer. Released under Mood Child, the label helmed by Manda Moor and Sirus Hood, the track has earned high praise from none other than the legendary Solomun, who has played it to crowds worldwide.

With their unique fusion of deep, groovy beats and infectious energy, Curt Lopez and ShelliOak are poised to make a significant mark on the UK house scene, a scene already brimming with world-class talent. Sonata Collective is a name to watch, as they continue to carve out their place among the genre's finest producers and DJs.

Duke Dumont is a contemporary electronic music powerhouse. Deeply committed to creating high quality music imbued with emotional depth, Dumont is versatile, extremely adept and hard working. His illustrious career has taken him on tour around the world, many times over, and placed him in the top tier of electronic music artists of his ilk.

Since 2007 Duke Dumont has channeled his deep love for electronic music into a variety of acclaimed releases, moving through pumping electro and vibrant techno to conquer the UK charts with “Need U 100%.” His early releases on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings helped establish his reputation for producing high quality club music that moves the dance floor, physically and emotionally. By 2012 he’d produced two career-defining EPs - For Club Use, Vol 1 and For Club Use, Vol 2. Tracks like “The Giver” cemented Dumont’s rep for catchy hooks, precision arrangement and powerful emotion. A year later he hit the No.1 spot in the UK charts with “Need U (100%) (featuring A*M*E),” demonstrating his ability to merge classic house motifs with first-rate songwriting.

“Need U (100%)” was followed with another UK No.1 “I Got U,” both songs achieving platinum sales. Between 2013 and 2020 he hit the Billboard Dance Chart No.1 with seven singles, including "The Power,” “Won’t Look Back” and “Ocean Drive.” With each release Duke Dumont stayed true to his club roots, achieving widespread success.
