Record label specializing in all forms of house and techno. Send demos to yhesrecords@outlook.com 

Back in 2003, a demo of the sledgehammer number that is  ‘Break My World’ caught the ear of Island Records’ top dog who, on the strength of those unmistakable strings, signed them to the major league. A balmy headline slot on Pete Tong’s live-from-Miami WMC show in early 2004, simultaneous top-spot hoggings of the Cool Cuts and Buzz Charts and hot Ibizan nights followed. 

However, big isn’t always better, and the boys were soon to discover that teeny-bopper pop-rockers held more sway at the label than their underground sound. An amicable split followed in the summer of 2005, along with a determination to keep things simple next time around. 

There’s no stopping the Globe’s flow though; despite this hiccup the music was coming thick and fast. New vocalist Silja, of Nouvelle Vague fame, as well as collaborations with Television’s Tom Verlaine and old accomplice Boy George, delivered a breath of fresh air and it became clear they needed a suitable outlet for their re-energised musical vision.

Global Underground, with its history of dance music pioneers, was an obvious first choice and quickly snapped the boys up. They got straight down to business, with the “moody brooding” (Music Week) ‘Break My World’ getting the remix treatment from Caged Baby and Gavin Hardkiss in his Hawke guise amongst others in September 2006. Hot on its heels came Dark Globe’s long-awaited album proper ‘Nostalgia For The Future’. Entering the iTunes Electronic Album Chart at No.7, it showed off “the thing that really sets Dark Globe apart from other electronic based acts – their songwriting. Simply put, Nostalgia For The Future is something you need to hear.” (Jive Magazine)
The Dark Globe story began somewhere in the early 90s – in a musical climate where the baggy scene was swinging its collective flares and crusty rock was dying a deserved painful death - when Pete Diggens, drummer in psych punk band Electric Sex Circus, decided enough was enough. Touring with the likes of Blur and giving the Manic Street Preachers an early support slot (“seeing them in their make up lugging equipment about was hilarious,” he laughs) was no longer musically fulfilling. 

Along the way, their filthy breakbeat funk has soundtracked ‘Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life’, they’ve delivered inspired remixies for the likes of Orbital and Two Lone Swordsmen and if you profess to know your dance music history then you’ll know that Dark Globe are responsible for making the first ever breakbeat record, ‘Mondo Scurro’. 

Either way, there’s little doubt that Dark Globe are hard-to-categorise electronic music pioneers and, right now, we’ve never needed them more... 



Actor, Animator of Fm, Dj, Producer, Music Collector very Eclectic very passionate

Emerging in a raucous rage of rock and roll from the bar-rooms and backrooms of London’s underground scene, Sweetheart Contract are Americana-scented budding roses of poetic alt-pop as capable of throwing out heart-rattling ballads as they are soaring summer anthems.

Led by Dexy, a songwriter in the mould of Big Star’s Alex Chilton and The Replacements’ Paul Westerberg, who learned his craft playing sweetly shambolic solo acoustic shows across the UK, the band are about to embark on shows with country-punk legends Lucero as well as rising star Lydia Loveless. They have also shared bills with Austin Lucas, Cory Branan, Jon Snodgrass, Larry & His Flask, The Wedding Present, Young Hines, Franz Nicolay,Two Cow Garage and even Boy George.

With a single release imminent, a ton of shows set to be torn through and an album’s worth of sad, shining songs already in the bag, this is a genuine band with genuine heart who are set to capture the imagination of smart, passionate music fans in a blaze of melody, fury and frenetic performance."


Palomino Kings (formally Pillbox) are a Rock 'n' Roll band, performing Americana / Alt-folk songs with energy, grit and feeling. As featured on BBC Introducing.

A dynamic rhythm section, atmospheric country bends, and hammond organ swells from the band underpin singer Gavin Bowern's honest and heartfelt songwriting, dirty guitars, and emotive vocals.


File next to: Ryan Adams, Dylan, The Band, Credence Clearwater Revival, Neil Young, Rolling Stones, Dan Auerbach, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers...

Every day learning a little more of what life entails.

A lover of life, the experience of its journey, and accepting everyone as they are.

Eclectic in music and in life - never sure which part will be to the fore at any time.

Life is a whiteboard to be written on
Exploring as we go
A board to always be on show
Some things smudged
Some in full display
Some hidden from view
But always there and always 


I laughed 
I cried 
I reflected
I understood tensions 
I’m afraid of and for society 
I’m devastated over what men, power, unbelievable thoughts can do
I’ve had anger
I’ve lived sadness 
I’ve learnt neither are healthy 

I’m pro rights - human universal rights
I love
I’m biased 
I know I have faults
I know I can be have barriers
I try to live better every day
I value all life
I believe in humanity 

To yield and not break  - wow

I want all stories to be told
I want all stories held on high
I want everyone to be who they are

I want us to always be connected 
I want to see life from all perspectives 
I want to give myself, I take as well
I want to share and explore and experience the raw power

Difference is a teacher 

Potential is anything we wish it to be

There is nothing stronger, you’ve been beaten down and brought yourself up

A taste of life
Tension
Truth
Emotions 
Reality
Love
Sadness
Laughter 
Happiness 
Sex drugs and Rock n Roll

If you’ve read all this, say gday and let’s groove to some music 

Aussie 🤪
