Slowz
Originating in 2013, Slowz' acclaimed brand of future soul and mood electronica has getting notices and been playlisted worldwide. The France-based producer has ushered in a wealth of collaboration and projects within a short period of time since inception a couple of years ago. Released on Folistar, Slowz first EP Paradise at the end of 2015 included "Take Me Away" featuring Mystery Skulls. Fast forward to find La Belle Musique release the heralded e.p. Prime of Life one year later featuring the hits "Morning Lights" feat. Clarens, "Holding You" and "In This Moment Forever" again featuring favorite collaborator Mystery Skulls. 2018’s introspective Nowhere e.p. was a critical fave and highlighted Slowz ability to venture musically into a slightly more insular electro soul territory. While deep in the throes of writing and producing his latest album, Therapy, Slowz found time to contribute the sultry "Horizon” featuring Greg Wanders to 2019’s Nowadays Black Label compilation.
Coming from a musical background spurred Slowz to get in the studio and try his hand at creating. His father is a great jazz pianist, having played in several bands since a young age, while his mother also played guitar. Explains Slowz, "I think my passion for music definitely came thanks to my parents. I've always been interested by the construction of a song and how it's been produced, etc. Finally, I decided to create my own music!"
Gaining recognition and notoriety right out the gate with his initial and subsequent single and e.p. releases, Slowz remains open to what may become the seed of an idea for a song or production. He never ceases to explore deftly mixing an amalgam of textures woven from r&b, funk, and electronica.
He continues, "These days my inspiration comes from listening to music generally and also my environment. For example, the most inspiring moment is situated in the morning with the first glows of dawning light. I love the vibes of label Roche Musique, the cloud rap scene with artists such as Oliver Francis, Yung Hurn and PNL, as well as R&B music with artists such as OneCue and H.E.R. In fact, the style of music doesn't matter so much, I'm just looking to get an emotional feeling."
Of his upcoming music, releases and collaborations, Slowz says it is about "...the feeling I have and can give to people. My music is always - always - talking about love. Everything is around love. It's the most inspiring thing of my life." Slowz has been a #1 darling on Hype Machine (Stan Sax edit of "Holding You”) and has lent his sought-after remix skills to the likes of Laura Mvula, Lizzo, Meeka Kates, Vali, Adian Coker, Trey Songz, Azusena and Philippe Cohen Solal (of Gotan Project).

Carthy
We Are Carthy.
We're three brothers from Texas. Chase, Drew and Seth. We're a band who make indie pop music so that we can make friends.
Carthy are currently excited to be in the studio finishing a great new full length album. Our influences range from classics like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Paul Simon and Queen to newer artists like Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and The Killers.
Chase, the eldest, is nicknamed “Brains” for his vast knowledge of music theory. He produces, plays guitar, plays keyboards and sings.
Drew in the middle, learned to play guitar in high school for the sole purpose of being able to play John Denver songs.He is the band’s resident lyricist and also sings.
Seth, the youngest, got his start in choir. As a classically trained bass vocalist, it’s no surprise that he was able to quickly pick up playing bass for the band. “If we buy you a bass guitar, do you think you could learn our entire set list in time for the show next week?” was his rite of passage into Carthy.
We all write songs in Carthy.
We love to play live.
We were voted most likely to succeed.

Mike1/2Nelson
Mike1/2Nelson (aka Mike Half Nelson, aka Mike, aka, half, aka MHN) is a singer, songwriter and actor. He grew up in a small Iowa town of 4,000 people. At 19, he moved to Los Angeles to become a legend. What becomes a legend most? Mike learned that film noir was a motif that would permeate his entire experience and understanding of the city of Angels. He subsequently traveled to New York City to attend The New School and Columbia University. Mike's engaging dance with the devil followed him to the city that never sleeps - where his love affairs with drug addicts, prostitutes, and scoundrels colored and shaped the music he wanted to create. A love of songwriting was the one thing that continually saved him from the brink of despair and disaster.
Mike attended a Caribbean medical school, thinking perhaps - as a doctor, he could cure his opiate-addicted lover from himself. He was wrong. One semester in, he left the island breeze to further pursue his love of music.
Mike1/2Nelson has spent years as part of New York’s alternative comedy/queer theater scene but is best known for performing in Tony Award winner Liz Swados’s final musical theater piece, The Nomad. Although his music has been featured in a web series, the 2019 Joshua Tree Pride Festival, and several stages along the East coast, his first official release, All Are Welcome will be out this 2020.
Mike1/2Nelson (aka Mike Half Nelson, aka Mike, aka, half, aka MHN) is known for his distinct singing voice, relatable, catchy hooks and knowing, bittersweet lyrics. He has taken the lessons from the proverbial School of Hard Knocks and turned them into an anthemic disco-rock-muscle car of an EP.

Alice Temple
A Londoner by birth, Alice Temple has done and been a variety of things in her life. She is notable for having been the first female UK and European BMX champion, was an ’80’s club kid staple alongside Boy George and London’s Blitz Kids, a top fashion model shot by the world’s finest such as Mario Testino and Bruce Weber and of course, an acclaimed musician.
Alice Temple began her music career with collaborator Eg White (Adele, Florence & The Machine, Kylie Minogue) at the age of twenty. Their project, Eg and Alice released only one critically-lauded album of elegant, romantic pop called '24 Years of Hunger' in 1991 (Q Magazine has named the album one of the Best of the 20th Century).
After a short stint in Los Angeles, Alice returned to London. While writing and collaborating with Eg, Alice caught the attention of James Lavelle, one half of trip hop pioneers, UNKLE, an experimental electronic project with DJ Shadow. She was brought in to contribute to UNKLE’s 1998 'Psyence Fiction’ album on Mo Wax which featured contributions from Thom Yorke, Badly Drawn Boy, Richard Ashcroft and Mike D. Alice’s piece for the Top 10 album, "Bloodstain," won her critical acclaim.
She returned to working with Eg, and together they put together her 1999 solo debut 'Hang Over', released on V2.
In 2005, Alice joined forces with actress, writer, musician Lucie Barât to form The Fay Wrays.
2018 sees the long-awaited release of 'The End' via Brooklyn indie, Peace Bisquit. Alice delivers a searing new set of self-produced, soul baring and lyrical indie pop with a venerable, take-no-prisoners bite. For the trainspotters and fans, the album also includes a couple favorite selections from Alice’s previous self-released full length,'Be With You In A Minute' which is long out of print and no longer available.
Of the new album, Alice concedes,”The concept for making 'The End' was simple. Just me in my bedroom writing songs about how I was feeling at the moment. That goes for the style of each song as well. It’s all about moods and feelings.”
