After 8 years of producing, since the age of 13, Mark Wells has found steady ground with successful releases on Nurvous, Mother, Alive & Purp & Soul. Low swinging drums and masterfully places vocals consistently create his trademark sound. Infectious rhythm and hard hitting bass lines make sure his music stands out from the crowd. Marks ability to create a stand out song is impeccable, with releases such as “In she came” and “Drivin me” guaranteed to keep a dance floor moving. His DJ sets mirror his production with energetic performances. In 2012 Mark cut his teeth remixing UK bands “Kid British” and “We Humans” proving his versatility and creativity, in turn he now continues to be called upon for remixes, more recently by legendary house institution Strictly Rhythm. Summer 2013 saw Mark signed to none other than Pete Tong's FFRR Recordings. The track released in June 2014, was championed by Pete on Radio 1 and by Ben Pearce in high profile festival sets around Europe. Expect to hear much more of Marks music land in a big way in 2015. 

One of Australia’s most-loved alt-pop darlings, Owl Eyes (Brooke Addamo), releases her first solo music for some time, the dreamy new single ‘On Me’. A poignant ode to finding power within oneself in the face on uncertainty, ‘On Me’ marks the anticipated return of Owl Eyes.

‘On Me’ showcases all that we have come to know and love when Owl Eyes comes to mind. On the single, Owl Eyes represents an honest fragility sitting tightly beside a humble strength that comes with growing into who you are as a person. Written and rewritten many times over the course of a year, ‘On Me’ has taken on a number of different personas, never quite feeling right for Brooke to release but also hanging in the wings like the shadow of a dream. It took an understanding and acceptance of her vulnerability for the song to truly come to the surface.

Produced in collaboration with Aeroplane, it wasn’t until he sent Brooke a version with added strings and cassette piano that the lyrics for the chorus finally came to her. Within 20 minutes, the rest of the song poured out of her.

Owl Eyes captured the hearts and minds of both fans and media with her hugely successful debut LP Nightswim (2013) which cultivated the young artist a legion of dedicated and loyal fans, not to mention widespread acclaim. Featuring the title track and fan favourite ‘Nightswim’ and lead single ‘Closure’ (over 3 million streams), Nighswim saw the Melbourne artist undertake a sold out national headline tour, extensive metro and regional tours, perform on national TV on RockWizz, head to the US for SXSW Festival and grace the cover of magazines throughout the country. Owl Eyes has also featured on tracks with the likes of Illy on ‘It Can Wait’ and on Flight Facilities’ smash hit ‘Heart Attack’.

Over the last few years, Owl Eyes has been touring the world as a vocalist with Flight Facilities, the opportunity allowing her to perform to huge crowds across the globe including coveted slots at Coachella and Glastonbury. She features as the main vocalist on the dance duo’s live recording of their set at Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

In and around her hectic touring commitments, Owl Eyes has been refining her craft both as an artist and songwriter. She has found time around tour dates to write on her own and collaboratively in LA and in Europe. One such collaboration seeing her flex her songwriting prowess on Slumberjack’s mammoth hit ‘Fracture (feat. Vera Blue)’ which is approaching 7 million streams. 

With more music hanging in her wings, we can’t wait to see what else Owl Eyes has in store.
