For the past decade, Mad Decent has been invading your ears with fresh sounds. With humble beginnings in Diplo’s Philadelphia studio, Mad Decent’s unwavering mission is to highlight underground, genre-blurring sounds. Mad Decent tops iTunes, Beatport and Shazam charts worldwide with #1 Dance tracks and albums with releases from artists like Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, Grandtheft, Party Favor, NGHTMRE and Yellow Claw. Mad Decent is also home to Good Enuff, a launchpad for artists breaking the norm; notable releases include Bauuer’s “Harlem Shake” and DJ Snake’s “Bird Machine.” As an extension of the Mad Decent sound, Mad Decent Block Party was established in 2006 and now spans across North America and India.

Robots in the Sun is the latest project by Greg Beaton, multi-instrumentalist from Niagara Falls NY, heavily influenced by progressive rock, 80's pop & fusion. After spending high school years on bass and keyboards in the Rush tribute band Afterimage, he started progressive band Pleiades with Bob Piper in 1993. In 1998, Greg moved to Los Angeles, where he became involved in both entertainment and music, working for ad agencies and film studios between various composing projects & touring gigs with bands like The Motels and Circus of Shadows, all the while expanding his appreciation of pop, folk & electronic music. In 2017, inspired by a connection made with long-time favorite musician and artistic inspiration, Allan Holdsworth, Greg began to finish and release music under the name Robots in the Sun, with authenticity taking priority over genre or style. Greg currently plays bass in Los Angeles desert psych outfit Corredor.

The Strypes are 4-piece rhythm and blues band hailing from Cavan, Ireland, formed in 2011 by Ross Farrelly (lead vocals/harmonica), Josh McClorey (lead guitar/vocals), Pete O'Hanlon (bass guitar/harmonica) and Evan Walsh (drums).

The group has spent the past 18 months launching their explosive R&B assault on the clubs and festivals of Ireland, the UK and Europe, viciously hammering out a no-nonsense blues repertoire drawing from the songbooks of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Slim Harpo and more with the passion and venom of British blues groups such as Dr. Feelgood, The Yardbirds, The Rolling Stones and The Animals. 

Having already been met with critical acclaim from greats such as Jeff Beck and Paul Weller and been tipped by NME as the No. 1 new band to watch, it seems things can only get better for The Strypes.
