Hailing from Indonesia, aspiring beat student Maverick hit our facebook page with his Soundcloud link. We were taken back by his promise of talent.
Ranging from Distorted sounds to dark trip hop and like Scream Cheese below, subconscious funk, this is a producer to keep your eye on.
Maverick’s Soundcloud.
UK-based singer/producer Sampha is not new. He has been around for a minute mostly making his mark with various abstract electronic tracks and working heavily with SBTRKT. His Sundanza EP on Young Turks is definitely something to fish out too.
On new piano-based song ‘Indecision’, apparently a demo, he blows his smooth, weathered croon to aural perfection. His voice has the ability to send shivers up your spine.
Ryan Keen is an amazing acoustic folk artist. He is unsigned for now but the things he can do with a guitar are majestic.
And while we have caught him many a time supporting the lovely Lucy Rose at a number of gigs, now it seems soon you will be seeing him as the main headline.
