MORTON VALENCE
Serving
up a full-fat slices of hook-rich electro-pop soaked in Cabaret-era
decadence with a sensational live show to match, we're delighted to
host the mighty Morton Valence before they embark on their European
tour. The band's debut album, 'Bob and Veronica Ride Again' has picked
up rave reviews, so make sure you get down to Brixton for this one!

THE LOST CAVALRY
A
new project by Mark West, the former guitarist from FANFARLO, we've
been loving the beautiful indie/folk sounds of this great new band.

LADY LYKEZ
An
exciting young Hip Hop/Grime UK female artist with a rising reputation,
Lady Lykez appeared on the London Urban Collective III ATL album
('rough edged grime and hip-hop with often wise and witty wordplay' -
DJ magazine) before storming the notorious Club Apache open mic night
in Atlanta, USA.
She
recently completed an album in Mali, Africa with Akala, Bashy, Kele Le
Roc, Silverstone for 'Routes to Rootz' funded by Bigga Fish and she's
now back in the UK and ready to showcase her unique sound, "echoing the
distinctive UK take of an artist like Dizzee Rascal mixed with the
vocal dexterity and off kilter song structures of Missy Elliot."
