It all actually started when I was a kid y'know. I was living in that small town and all. Everyone was planting carrots there and had fun with it. I didn’t want to plant no carrot so I started making music.
So here I am in my 20’s with my 20 listeners...
I'm doing just fine.

Have you listened to Idyll? That EP is chill AF. I like it 'cause I haven't spent a penny on it, but then there's Tender Funk man...
I paid for the trumpets and the choir and thank god my boys from "the band" ain't getting shit out of it 'cause I would be even more broke than I am.
So if you're asking me if this whole music thing is worth it, I'ma tell you boy it's not an "Idyll" ha ha. (Damn I'm funny)

Anyway, if you're still reading this go on and listen to Stupid Fucking Playground I'm getting kinda emotional on that one, so you can read the lyrics and then text me on IG to check out if I'm good...
I got other songs too, like Benefit Friend or Second Choice - DEMO folks like them because people like to listen about other people having sex... you pervs.

I have my own page on Facebook and I don't post there much... but then there's my IG on which I post music that I'm currently listening to... SO MUCH FUN!
I have my YT channel where you can watch two music videos. I paid a lot of money for the "Christmas Song" one so I would be more than glad if you'd be so kind to watch it at least once. It's in 4K and all cool stuff.

Nick Elia has been a fixture of London’s underground club scene since the mid-2000s. From gritty warehouse raves in Hackney to iconic venues like Egg, Lightbox, Pacha, Area, and Crucifix Lane, Nick’s raw techno beats have resonated with the souls of those who seek the pulse of the night. His journey extends beyond the UK, with multiple seasons spent in Ibiza, countless gigs in Prague, and tours that have left their mark on dancefloors worldwide.

In the studio, Nick embraces a purist approach, channeling his passion through analog and hardware gear to craft every beat with a sincere intensity and a balanced texture of hypnotism, energy, and playfulness. Over the years, his productions have earned support from the techno elite, appeared in international compilations, and received airplay on renowned platforms. Most notably, his record ‘Glue’ was featured on BBC Radio 1, with DJ Hannah Wants saying, “This is one of my favorite tracks out at the moment... it’s absolutely going off.” 

His dedicated studio work led him to become a sound designer and an official Roland Artist, working with the company on both live performance and studio gear. Most notably, he designed patches for the now-iconic Roland TR-8S.

Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.


I’m a singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer from the city of Liverpool where the foundations of music were laid by The Beatles and from listening to them I became musically inspired immediately and I knew making music was where my heart lies. Over the years I have picked up on many artists who keep inspiring me on each record I do, the likes of Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan have helped me deliver a story of lyrics to the listener. The New Jersey scene has been inspirational with my writing musically and lyrically, both Bruce Springsteen and The Gaslight Anthem are the two artists who without them to inspire me, I would not be writing music. I play a variety of instruments and I am always developing my playing on them, these instruments include Piano, Bass, Mandolin and Sitar. 

In June 2012 I set up my own home recording studio in order to record my first album “Let The Times Roll On” it was recorded over the summer with me playing on all the instruments. It featured 11 tracks and was released in November 2012.

Two years later I started writing my EP “Down The Years” in the winter of 2013 and recorded it over the summer of 2014. Again I played all the instruments and it featured 5 tracks. It was released in August 2014 for free.

I am continuing to write new music and develop different instrumentation everyday, with music it is a journey that will never end so I am always happy to experiment with new sounds as I progress in this career. 

I believe that having faith in what you are doing lest your mind and spirit guide you to achieve what it is you are aiming for because every dream can be achieved

Everyday I write and everyday I play

Thank you for your ongoing support with my music, it means everything to me

Stephen
