DVA Damas

Taylor Burch and Joe Cocherell. “Dva Damas has California written over it,” says Taylor Burch, the band’s founder and figurehead. Fitting, then, that they’re the first act to release a record on Downwards America, the new US offshoot of Karl ‘Regis’ O’Connor’s now two-decades-old, Birmingham-born label. Downwards America is being operated by Juan Mendez, O’Connor’s longtime cohort and collaborator in Sandwell District; and it was Mendez who, after attending Dva Damas’s first public live show in 2009, signed them on the spot to record their debut single.

Samuel Foxton Welles

Samuel Foxton Welles is a reclusive artist and musician, and although currently based in Whitby, UK, he has been known to take up residence from time to time in a series of caves somewhere in North Yorkshire. His music is formed from an idiosyncratic mix of styles, occasionally utilising a variety of unusual and makeshift instruments. Through the Leeds based-label Hope House Records the album entitled ‘Pony and Trap’ was released in October 2008 and is presented in a handmade cardboard and felt sleeve, developing the idea of the item being a self-contained piece of artwork.

Tomutonttu

Tomutonttu ("dust gnome") is a human called Jan Anderzén, a visual artist and the leader of a Finnish respected avant-garde sound group Kemialliset Ystävät (Jan also played with Avarus and Anaksimandros). Toy reed streams, mutilated vocals and groovy loops of animal noise are some of the colours used to create the whirling mess that is the lonely song of Tomutonttu. It is like a confusing detail of the Kemialliset Ystävät freedom flow, a microcosmos of strange sound creatures and dirt flying around in the stereo space and interacting with a logic all of their own.

Cadence Weapon

Cadence Weapon continues to firmly establish his legacy as a sonic pioneer while constantly pushing the rap and electronic music envelope. Following his critically-acclaimed, Polaris Music Prize nominated albums Breaking Kayfabe and Afterparty Babies and a two year term as Edmonton’s Poet Laureate, he returns with his new album Hope In Dirt City this Spring. A clearly defined and emotionally mature statement of intent, Hope In Dirt City represents the culmination of these experiences.

Rosa Crux

A martial and apocalyptic atmosphere! The band brings us directly to the heart of things. Obsessional, never brutal, Rosa Crvx explore the questions of life and death, of the anguishes and the human's fears. They face the darkness; at the edge of the abyss, their steps progress on an unknown way which exists in the dark and opens to the light when we understand that the only solution is in the acceptance of mysteries. Rosa Crvx reached us down in the depths of the soul...
