DISCLOSURE
Disclosure’s extraordinary debut
album “Settle” (2013) put this English duo, brothers Howard and Guy Lawrence,
at the forefront of a new wave of electronic music. “Settle” topped charts, won
numerous accolades and ushered in a new refreshing type of dance music. The
band followed it up with the impressive “Caracal” (2015), which earned
Disclosure its second Grammy nomination. Growing up, Howard and Guy were
surrounded by a wide variety of musical genres and played instruments early on,
but it was splicing and experimenting with recorded music that led to the
creation of Disclosure and its signature electronic music with a pop structure
sound.
MARK RONSON
Superstar producer and DJ Mark
Ronson has earned both praise and popular success for his throwback, soul and
funk influenced work with such diverse artists as Ghostface Killah, Amy
Winehouse and Bruno Mars. The stepson of Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones, Ronson
spent the first eight years of his life growing up in England. Having played
guitar and drums from an early age, it wasn’t until moving to New York City
with his mother that he discovered DJ culture. At age 16, and already a fan of
popular hip-hop artists such as Run-D.M.C. and the Beastie Boys, Ronson began
listening to the various hip-hop mixtapes. Inspired, Ronson confiscated his
father’s record collection and tried his hand at mixing. It was the first step
in a career highlighted by work on Winehouse’s Grammy-winning album, as well as
his own global smash hit “Uptown Funk”.
TA-KU
Ta-Ku is a modern day renaissance
man. Rising to prominence as one of Australia’s most indemand beatmakers, the
Perth-based artist (real name Regan Matthews) has found himself curator of a
rapidly expanding creative empire. While selling health insurance full-time,
the musician was creating beats in his free time that would become so popular
that Ta-Ku became his only job. Ta-Ku’s credits now include high-profile
remixes for BANKS, Childish Gambino and Justin Timberlake, as well as a clutch
of co-written pieces, production efforts and countless self-releases.
BREAKBOT
Breakbot is the French duo of
producer Thibaut Berland and vocalist Irfane. Their productions combine funk,
disco and house with a French touch. Signed to the renowned Ed Banger record
label in 2010, Breakbot’s first release was the huge hit “Baby I’m Yours”. The
duo is also known for its remix work, having collaborated with the likes of
Birdy Nam Nam, Digitalism and Busy P amongst others. Breakbot’s album “Still
Waters” was released earlier this year to criticalacclaim and sees Breakbot
continue their dance floor dominance.
SAM FELDT
While only in his early twenties,
Dutchman Sam Feldt has become quite the international deep house tastemaker.
With amazing remix work as well as solid hits like the 2015 release “Show Me
Love”, he’s definitely one of the DJs to watch for new sounds on the scene.
GEORGE MAPLE
As a teenager performing live
alongside iconic Australian artists, including Renee Geyer, Daryl Braithwaite
and Jimmy Little, it became obvious that George Maple’s sound and style could
not be confined to a single time and place. Her sound – deeply soulful, a vocal
fullness beyond her years and with a certain vulnerability – can be heard on
every production she jumps on.
BLONDE
Blonde is the English duo of
Jacob Manson and Adam Englefield. Their rise to the top has been nothing short
of meteoric from their first collaboration in 2014, a track entitled “Talk To
You”. Amazingly they managed to produce this track without having ever met in
person, and it was the success of this long-distance collaboration that led
Manson back to his hometown of Bristol to meet Englefield. Then the real magic
began.
Their production schedule soon
filled up with new creations influenced by a wide range of genres, including
House, R’n’B and Garage. They were soon signed to the acclaimed FFRR label and
released several hits, such as “I Loved You” and “All Cried Out”, which led to
a blaze of appearances at some of the UK’s biggest festivals and extensive
airplay on the radio. This momentum grew throughout 2015 culminating in a
series of headlining gigs and DJ performances at many of the biggest venues and
festivals in UK and Europe. Most recently they collaborated with Craig David on
“Nothing Like This” and are putting the finishing touches of their highly
anticipated debut album.
HERMITUDE
Hermitude are El Gusto and Luke
Dubs, an award-winning duo based in Sydney. Over the course of 12 years they’ve
released four albums, most recently the Australian Music Prize-winning album
“HyperParadise”. They continue to rise in popularity and now command festival
main stages all over the world. They have worked with critically acclaimed
artists, including Flume and Rüfüs Du Sol, whilst collecting awards and fans
along the way.
