CUTS is the audio / visual project of British born composer and filmmaker Anthony Tombling Jr. 

EP1 was released in July 2014 by Invada and EXIST 1 & EXIST 2, A slow Decay EP plus the debut album A Gradual Decline were released through Village Green in 2018.

2020 saw the release of the album UNREAL. A visceral collection of live jams reflecting online disinformation and the rise of fascism and nationalism. The album was recorded live during the first lockdown of the coronavirus pandemic.

2022 sees the release of the album 'All That Was Lost & Other Failures' 
A collection written also during the lockdowns of 2020. The album is a personal, introspective record exploring themes of Isolation and loss. 


"The most innovative and mesmerising electronic release - audibly and visually - of 2014." Hit The Floor.

"One of the best realised and executed releases of the year." The 405.

"CUTS has moments of genuine beauty, flashes of light rendered all the more vivid by the intensity which surrounds it" Clash Magazine.

"I would consider this to be one of the most grandiose and haunting things I have heard in a long time" Soundblab.

"A mystery shrouded AV project, CUTS entire existence revolves around the sonic and aesthetic stimuli. Their disconcerting video works are soundtracked by jet black, gradually unfurling drone sagas, nestled somewhere between glacial shifts of emeralds and tribal apocalypse. Segueing from diving-bell-deep growls to sky scraping, synthetic pearls. CUTS live and recorded output thus far promises equally astounding things to come.” Crack Magazine.

"Cuts has created a sound of layered and complex music, it’s something that gets right inside you, atmospheric and smothering, definitely an artist to listen to and look for in the future too." Louder than War. 

"The daunting sensations CUTS sound makes you feel will stay with you forever." Middle Boop.

Meet Bulzara, the most electrifying indie musician to come out of the most boring seaside town in North East of Yorkshire. Born and raised in a town with more seagulls than people, Bulzara found solace in the buzzing sounds of his computer and the whirring of his synthesizers.

After a string of air plays on Jericho keys show BBC introducing York including track of the week for the single 'mutant frisbee' he decided to move to glamorous Gosport and get noisy with people of Hampshire!

Bulzara also enjoys collaborating with other indie artists, with some remixes under his belt for the band 'Signal committee' and solo act 'McDead' with both artists featuring on his first album 'Crocadillaseapig' along with punk queen 'Tashi delay' in the U.S.A and the big beat masters 'The Phat controllers'


love film scores from the 70s & 80s and try to incorporate a cinematic feel to my tunes, along with electronic elements like early new order, chemical brothers, the prodigy, but feel I'm pretty genre fluid, and incorporate many elements to my music

MOON AND ARIES 
(Jordana and Tom: we are real human beings = "no AI" in our songs - all is handmade: composition & production by Tom, lyrics and vocals by Jordana. Plus our great team 2026: guitar by Peter, saxophone by Hanna, Cello by Zara, Violin by Mara, mixing by Chris, mastering by Francois).

 “Moon and Aries” is a studio-driven, global music project with our songs / albums as our main language. 
We are creating somatic soul music through cinematic expression. Our work is rooted in emotional presence and embodied listening - music that is felt in the body as much as it is heard. 

Behind the scenes: 
Formed in 2021 by Jordana Moon (Canada) and Tom Aries (Germany), Moon and Aries emerged from a long-distance creative collaboration grounded in trust, intuition, and shared inner awareness. Their music unfolds like scenes - reflective, spacious, and emotionally attuned - moving beyond genre into lived experience. Guided by a philosophy of melody meets meaning, Moon and Aries create music that supports grounding, connection, and inner regulation.
Moon and Aries create music not as background, but as somatic experience - a space to slow down, feel safely, and reconnect with oneself. Their inspiration sprouts from a variety of genres and artists like k.d. lang, Shivaree, Lisa Stansfield, Portishead, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode, Röyksopp, ABBA,  Sade, Ms. Lauryn Hill, ELIZA and many more.  
MOON AND ARIES - MELODY MEETS MEANING: 
Somatic Soul - Cinematic Expression.

Michael Donoghue is a Rotherham born, Jersey based independent electronic artist, composing left-field electronica which draws in influences from several genres, including ambient electro, downtempo, techno, and IDM. 
 
Michael started to compose in 2017, releasing several singles and EP's under the pseudonym of Cosmosapien. In the summer of 2020, Michael stepped out from the shadows of his alter ego, and started releasing music under his own name. Since then he's released several singles and EP's, three solo albums, and a collaboration LP with fellow unsigned artist Pulses. In the process Michael has found himself on the radar of several independent radio shows, blogs, reviewers, and playlist curators. 
 
Several of Michael's tracks have been supported by BBC Music Introducing in the Channel Islands, and have also featured on many independent radio shows including Trust The Doc Radio, Supernova, In The Moog, and many more. He's made the coveted Fresh On The Net 'Fresh Faves' on several occasions, and in January 2022 received his first national radio play with the ambient track 'Overview Effect' making a chill-out special on Jaguar's BBC Introducing Dance Show on Radio 1.

Michael has released his most recent projects through the independent label Irregular Patterns, including his latest LP 'Time Machine'.
