Meduza
MEDUZA have spent the year leading the charge in returning house music to daytime radio, with great success.
Their debut release, ‘Piece Of Your Heart’ featuring Goodboys, has now seen over 2 billion streams globally, reaching double platinum (1.2m units) in the UK alone and peaking at #2 on the Official UK Charts. This trend has followed Meduza globally, with multi Diamond, Platinum and Gold certifications around the world and a GRAMMY nomination. The follow up, ‘Lose Control’ with Goodboys and Becky Hill, has made an unprecedented impact, reaching the UK Top40 in its first week, now notching upward of 2 billion cumulative streams, reaching Gold sales in the UK in less than 4 months and fast approaching double platinum as of now.
These headline successes are also bolstered by an impressive catalogue of hand picked remixes for the likes of MK, R+, Dermot Kennedy and John Legend, displaying not only Meduza’s signature sound and energy, but also the raw ability to create a stand out release whenever called upon.
The touring diary for Meduza showed an almost insatiable demand for the hottest act in dance music, with Fabric (London), Elrow, TOFFLER (Rotterdam) and Warehouse Project (Manchester) to name but a few key venues and events scaling the globe from Europe, North and South America and Asia to seek out the genre leading Meduza sound. Meduza are set to become one of the most in demand acts when the touring returns.

Icelandic singer/songwriter Emilíana Torrini first made her name in the late '90s with a beguiling mixture of folk, electronica, pop/rock, and trip-hop that garnered comparisons to enigmatic vocalists of the era like and . 1999's Love in the Time of Science gave Torrini her first international exposure, and a prominent soundtrack appearance on 2002's Lord of the Rings film The Two Towers compounded her visibility. Her output over the coming years, though, signified a thoughtful and wide-ranging artist unwilling to be pigeonholed. From the low-key, mostly acoustic Fisherman's Woman (2005) to the wily, synth-based Tookah (2013), Torrini followed her muse to interesting places. She later collaborated with Belgium's the Colorist Orchestra for a pair of enchanting chamber pop releases including 2023's Racing the Storm.

VökIcelandic band Vök are ready for world domination. The alt-pop trio – made up of Margrét Rán (vocals), Einar Stef (bass/guitar) and Bergur (drums) – make music that perfectly captures the contradictions of being alive. Through their unique and lushly layered sound that blends electro and indie with forward-thinking pop and a self-assured aesthetic, that is just as striking as their sound, Vök continue to cement their position as one of the most exciting alternative bands right now.
Vök and they won Iceland’s prestigious Músíktilraunir (‘Music Experiments’ – other winners e.g. Of Monsters and Men). only 6 months after they started playing together. Their triumph soon led to the release of their debut EP Tension. They began to further mark themselves on their second EP Circles.
