Orkestra del Sol

"The swagger of a Balkan wedding band with the riotous energy of a Latin carnival." Based in Scotland, but taking in musical influences from far and wide, Orkestra del Sol inflect their music with a raucous enthusiasm. Blending the best of brass with the swinging sounds of samba, New Orleans street music or the rolling rhythms of Turkey and the Middle East, they charge through it all with full-blooded rock and roll speed. They make mincemeat of musical categories.

Lollo a Dutch gypsy was raised on gypsy Jazz and started playing at the age of 12 with members of his family. Lollo made his goal in life to carry on the music of Django Reinhardt. His technique and suppleness are amazing, his music refreshing, not the standard tunes that are often heard in this genre.

Cat Fire Radio

Electro. Dance. Math. Rock. We are electrodancemathrock. Three-piece music makers from Brighton. We make electronic math rock that you can dance to. Music is a primal instinct that resides within us all. It liberates us and it unites us. It is not conformity. It is not competition. It is not an outlet for repressed vitriol and it is not elitist beard-stroking observationism of conveyor belt culture. It is one of the greatest things we have.
