New Single 'Drive' OUT NOW: https://DJFresh.lnk.to/DRIVEsb

Since the early 2000’s the name DJ Fresh has been synonymous with innovation, but after 20 years of success in the music industry including signing acts like Pendulum and Chase and Status to his label Breakbeat Kaos, Fresh took a step back from touring and playing global shows to concentrate on his health, following a thyroid cancer diagnosis in 2016. He attended a Ruby boot-camp and became a Machine Learning Developer at a leading education research company in Oxford, where his work helped to win innovation awards.

An acclaimed DJ and producer, DJ Fresh is widely recognised as one of the UK’s most influential electronic music artists. Having released three studio albums, scored #1 singles with ‘Louder’ and ‘Hot Right Now’, and sold millions of records to date, Fresh has been at the forefront of dance music’s mainstream resurgence.

“And through the haze there shone a white light, and from that light played sweet sweet music... and to that music... We got high. Much love to the Hemps” – Paolo Nutini

“The Hempolics are the best band in the UK – but nobody knows it yet...” - Maxi Jazz (Faithless)

“Real vintage lo fi reggae inspired soul music for the 21st century city scape people” – DJ Vadim

“Great summer vibes. Puts a smile on my face. And amazing live too!” - Eliza Doolittle

“The best thing I’ve heard in ages” La Roux

The Hempolics are out to put those organic rootsy vibes back into music; with their fat radio-friendly hooks, bumping soundsystem bass and a wanderlusty, ineffably real sound all of their own...

Over years of recording top international talent The Hempolics enigmatic leader, Grippa Laybourne, has been carefully honing his own masterpiece and selecting a gang armed and dangerous enough to execute it. The Hempolics caused an instant stir with their single Serious which hit number one in the UK reggae charts and was playlisted on Massive Attack’s BBC takeover.

New debut album ‘Kiss, Cuddle & Torture Vol. 1’ has seen the band erupt with three singles playlisted by BBC6 Music and support from Steve Lamacq, Toddla T, Rodigan & Don Letts to name a few. Liz Kershaw selected the album on her ‘all killer, no filler’ best albums of the past 30 years and invited the band to play her BBC anniversary show after hearing them smash a live session for Lauren Laverne on BBC6. It’s not just on radio that the band have been breaking with album track ‘Samurai’ synced to the worldwide trailer for Coen Brothers and George Clooney film ‘Hail, Caesar!’

Sounding like the i-pod of the attention-deficit generation and swelled by guest appearances from various international talents The Hempolics have a storm brewing that promises to tear up the UK music scene. Recording underground style throughout the bedrooms and home studios of the band The Hempolics have created an infectious mash-up of Reggae, Electro, Hip-Hop, Soul, Rock and Pop. Although the weather out might be dull London-side it’s strictly sunshine vibes, resplendent with huge hooks and festival friendly choruses. These are tunes that people will be bopping to across festivals, clubs and car journeys for years to come.

The Hempolics pedigree recordings are combined with tight as a tick live performances – honed at their own underground club night in London – and they are amongst the up and coming acts to watch. They are the brainchild of veteran sound engineer and record producer Grippa Laybourne. Core vocalists, the empyreal Nubiya and devilishly dashing Dandelion, combine together impeccably, with Dan’s brother Harry sometimes stepping in with his own smooth tones. The rest of the band comprises of deft bassist Lorenzo, Leon King who ranks up there with the finest Reggae/Dub guitarists around and the exceptional Craig Boorman on drums.

Take your eye off The Hempolics at your peril. Ital business!

Pendulum are undoubtedly one of the biggest electronic bands of all time. With 3 platinum albums to their name including renowned debut ‘Hold Your Colour’ and a UK #1 and #2 for ‘Immersion’ and ‘In Silico’, the drum and bass/ rock band from Perth, Australia have sold over a million albums in the UK alone. Selling out global arena tours and playing to thousands across main stage performances from Glastonbury, Download to Reading and Leeds and a headline slot at Ultra Miami, the band returned with their new EP ‘Elemental’ in 2021 and have announced the return of the live band and more new music for 2022/23.

Skilf is a North London based Rapper/Singer known for his heartfelt lyrics and distinctive vocals. From a young age Skilf was no stranger to the stage: a child actor performing at theatres and even starring in a full feature TV film. His passion for music was sparked a few years later as he started getting into hip hop and dance music, studying other rappers' wordplay and art of rhyming. 

He began writing, recording and performing - jumping on the mic over Garage/Drum 'n' Bass sets at house parties, open mic nights and pirate radio. His energetic delivery and ability to rhyme over different tempos and sounds grabbed peoples attention and gradually Skilf started getting booked for club nights, uni shows and festivals. 

Since independently releasing his debut album âOriginal Visionsâ in 2008, Skilf has received airplay on stations such as 1Xtra, BBC Introducing, BBC Asian Network and Kiss FM. He has shared stages with the likes of Pendulum, Ghostface Killah (Wu Tang Clan), Tim Westwood, Chipmunk, Taio Cruz, Skream, Benga and Sam & The Womp to name a few.

His collaborative work spans from Dance music legend Ashley Beedle to Dubstep star Youngman, producers Agent X and Hip Hop talents such as Genesis Ellijah, Serocee, Ceezlin, Dizraeli and Supar Nova.Â Earlier this year Skilf teamed up with Irish production duo John Gibbons &amp; Scimon Tist and made âColderâ which received extensive radio play and reached the top 40 in the official Republic of Ireland charts.

Skilf'sÂ forthcoming album âSecond Thoughtâ is more upbeat and dance based than previous releases with bass driven Electro/House beats, soulful hooks and bouncy, energetic flows. 'Second Thought' will be dropping next summer through SOI Records following the release of debut single âShuffleâ produced by Leeds based duo Stoxx &amp; Hills, which is out now along with remixes on iTunes and other digital download stores.

I make electronic music that crosses genres. My musical mind doesn’t always like to follow rules. My dreams are lucid, life-like and often filled with music. Sometimes, when I wake, I can remember the music from my dreams and try to recreate some of it. I sometimes enjoy making electronic music that sounds like real instruments, or with ambient touches.
I love to collaborate on music so feel free to use my collab tracks—as long as you credit me in your title and description and send me a link—DM me with ideas or requests.
