Thea Riley, a compelling figure in the music world since 2015, has made waves as a transgender vocalist and music producer known for blending pop with deep personal storytelling. Her work frequently touches on themes of resilience, identity, and mental health, a focus that emerged from her experiences with transphobia, insomnia, and isolation. Her music, including the instrumental album Sleepy Wolf (2021), often draws on these challenges, creating an immersive soundscape that reflects her journey as a trans woman in a still-evolving industry.

Beyond Sleepy Wolf, Riley released singles such as “It’ll Be Over Soon” and “It’s Magic,” expanding her sound and exploring new themes of hope and personal triumph. In her recent album Withstand (2023), Riley pushes further into the realm of introspective pop, layering atmospheric production with emotionally resonant lyrics. Known for her openness about the struggles and triumphs she faces, Riley remains a vocal advocate for trans artists, encouraging more inclusive narratives within the music industry. Her upcoming projects hint at collaborations and further genre experimentation, which her fans eagerly anticipate as she continues to break new ground and inspire listeners worldwide.

Arnold & Baggotts is a new duo consisting of former Godskitchen resident Steve Arnold and current production wonderkid Jamie Baggotts. 

Having already blown onto the scene with their huge debut hit Triangulum on Solarstone’s Pure Progressive label which saw the track receive support from such luminaries as Ferry Corsten, Solarstone, Airwave, Orkidea and more, the future already looks bright for the pair.

With a penchant for deep hypnotic trance and subterranean progressive music, Arnold & Baggotts aim to bring back some of the lost elements of the genres back to the forefront ready and made for todays market and dancefloors. 

Tired of the same old generic sounds they were hearing everywhere and tracks become shorter and shorted as well as more and more obvious, they set to work to throw out this modern day rulebook and bring back some of the more discernible elements of the genres they knew and loved back to life. 

A follow up to Triangulum is due soon and the boys are already planning out the rest of 2017 with a refreshing determination.

If you like your music underground and ‘heads down’ then you’ve come to the right place!
