  Tiga

  The origins of Montreal born DJ-producer-incipient Teutonic legend Tiga lie to the vague and troubling East, where he was weaned on the nefarious milk of the notorious 1980s Indian club scene.

  Fat Dog

  Like many a band that has emerged from London’s vibrant music scene, Fat Dog earned their stripes at the venerable Windmill. Formed during the pandemic, the band’s DNA is characterised by a certain degree of social disgust, which is reflected in their gloriously dirty vocals and also in their songwriting. This is marked just as much by distorted rock ’n’ roll and a furious punk quality, as it is by futuristic synths and driving backbeats.

  Portland

  Portland revient avec un EP d’une grande puissance taillé pour parler aux fans de FKA Twigs, Flume, Banks ou encore Florence And The Machine. Après un incroyable démarrage en 2013 avec leur titre « Deezy Daisy » qui cumule aujourd’hui plus de 5 millions de vues, le groupe se sépare puis se retrouve autour d’une nouvelle chanteuse, l’incroyable Julia Apache. Depuis, le groupe à pris une direction moins pop, plus trap et R&B avec une base toujours très électro mais beaucoup plus sombre. Un beau retour marqué d’une grande et belle maturité.

  Dressed Like Boys

  Jelle Denturck is the singer and frontman of DIRK., a popular Belgian indie band that – in his own words – ‘has been making a fair amount of noise these past few years’. But in fact he thinks he’s a real softie, with a record collection full of melancholic indie pop and rock music: Bowie, Beatles, Lou Reed, Elton John, Nina Simone, Anohni & The Johnsons, Sufjan Stevens, Perfume Genius, Wilco, Tobias Tesso Jr. … clearly there’s a side to Denturck that doesn’t easily reveal itself in DIRK.’s music.
  
  It's about time, Denturck feels. As Dressed Like Boys he wanted to write songs and make a record all of his own. Not to turn it into an ego trip, but by way of self-examination. Denturck sings about the search for personal freedom, about his dearest friends, his homosexuality and relationship, but doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable topics like gay bashing either. It doesn’t get more personal and fragile than this.
