Sampa the GreatZambia-born, Botswana-raised, Sampa’s upbringing continues to bear an influence on her music. Her debut album - “The Return” -ranges from classic hip-hop to ancient Southern African sounds. Built on four years of personal and musical soul-searching, it’s the product of meaningful musical connections and of Sampa redefining her self-identity away from the comforts of family and old friends. Album contributors include: Jonwayne, MsM (Skepta/BBK), Andrei Eremin, Silentjay, Kwes Darko (Slowthai), Clever Austin (Hiatus Kiayote), Blue Lab Beats, Syreniscreamy, Ecca Vandal and London jazz collective Steam Down. The Return, debut single “Final Form” and the live show have seen Sampa awarded many accolades, including Bandcamp’s Best Album 2019, the prestigious Australian Music Prize in 2019 (first and only artist to win twice), an ARIA for Best Hip Hop Release, two Triple J Awards for Video of The Year and Double J Artist of The Year, as well as Hip Hop Act of The Year at both the Music Victoria and National Live Music Awards. “The Return” has been championed by Annie Mac (Radio 1), Gilles Peterson & Lauren Laverne (6 Music), KCRW & KEXP; Pitchfork, The Guardian, Vulture, OkayAfrica, The Independent, Hypebeast, Crack Magazine and many more. Sampa recently wrapped a sold out Australian and European tour, performing at some of the worlds most iconic festivals, including Glastonbury, Splendour in the Grass, Laneway, Sugar Mountain, and more with more to come in 2020 including Coachella. -
Yazmin Lacey
Yazmin Lacey is a singer-songwriter who knows something about coming into her own. She came to music late, she says – “It's never late, but late in the perspective of that I'm doing it now,” – almost as if by fate. And throughout her time in the music scene, the 33-year-old has used her music as an exercise in capturing those moments and putting them into song, as if a snapshot of the intimate parts of her own life.
Debut album Voice Notes is yet another record of those moments. It follows on from three stunning EP’s; Black Moon (2017), When The Sun Dips 90 Degrees (2018) and Morning Matters (2020), a trilogy of sorts, named in part by the settings in which they were written. Voice Notes is similarly inspired by something that helped the album spring to life. A long-held tool of her music-making and way of sharing melodies with collaborators, it’s a method of communication deeply special to her.
“For me, a voice note represents an immediate reaction to something,” she says. “[It’s] unfiltered and raw in the way that you can hear it. Someone's breathy tone, whether they’re tired, whether someone's saying something in a cheeky way or not – sometimes you don't get that in a message

In 2013, along with his highly acclaimed BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, Alix released his much anticipated sophomore effort ‘Chroma X Chords,’ also on Shogun.The album saw the ever-evolving artist achieving his singular vision of breaking down genre barriers. The reception for the album surpassed all expectations, and has redefined peoples’ perception of Alix as a producer once again.
Alix’ released the “U” EP, featuring Rashad and Spinn, in April 2014 on the highly esteemed Exit Records.

AliA
Hey all, we're ALIA,,formed in the middle of 2009.We are from Royal Town Silveritage Kuala Kangsar,Perak.Plays Metal/Metalcore/Hardcore with combination metal guitar riff + metal & hardcore drumming..string guitar style drop B.. ALIA began when Apek,Za,Didi and PakJoe met at Royal Town Kuala Kangsar. We started jamming together out of boredom and to fill our free time. Covering songs from the likes of Arkangel, Caliban & Chimaira, we eventually got more serious and decided to start writing our own songs. However, we were still without a 2 nd guitar. So, Joe suggested his childhood friend Amy to join the band. Hence, ALIA was complete and there has not been a line up change since. Currently,we're so interested to experiment with metal/metalcore/hardcore element and sound like Heaven Shall Burn,Caliban,Chimaira,Lamb Of God,House Of Aterus etc. We also like to brainstorming ourselves with a new idea and improving technicality of our songs. Only God knows what we'll do next... We're looking forward to any gig invitations from any music label that's interested,please do contact us : Za (+60175193450) Amy (+60174491646).
