FIGURES- Figures are a london-based production duo who formed in 2011. They create atmospheric low-tempo electronic house music using analogue equipment. Described as "one of the coolest surprises in instrumental music of the year" by Big Stereo. Expect big things this year.
NOVA-. East London based live dubstep band recently signed to Birth Records will be showcasing new material from soon to be released EP. Nova fuse Punk vocals with electro and dubstep whilst still maintaining their own signature. A band on the up we are more than certain the group will explode onto the scene in no time, dont miss this!
OBEY!- Obey! started in 2010 with Josh Torrent and Leonard B. After touring quite a bit with their metal band in Paris, they moved to London and decided to inject their Live energy into a new electronic project : Obey! From French Electro to Uk Dubstep, Obey! is bashing through different styles and tempos. They create a sound that blasts the speakers but stays incredibly dancy. Between Josh's powerful drumming and Leonard B.'s crazy mashups and samples, Obey! live literally brings hell on earth. Once you've tasted it, you can't go back.
BLONDE BUNNY- Blonde Bunny are a new and ambitious London based 5 piece who essentially write pop songs but execute them with a sound that no one has yet managed to put in a box. Though the band is only a year old, they have began to gain positive coverage on blogs and recently received radioplay on BBC 6Music. Blonde Bunny have just released their debut EP which is available as a free download.
