The Orb
The Orb virtually invented the electronic genre known as ambient house, resurrecting slower, more soulful rhythms and providing a soundtrack for early-morning ravers once the clubs closed their doors. Now they invite you to join them to sit back, relax, and drift into ‘The Dream’. It’s been a busy year for the orb, recording the album, playing Bestival, and seeing the seminal number 1 album, UFOrb getting a re-release. ‘The Dream’ sees Alex Paterson and Youth at their blessed, and melodious best. Their history speaks volumes, and the future is certainly bright…

Pat Appleton Watch Video - Click here
Born the daughter of a German mother and a Liberian father, Pat Appleton spent most of her childhood and all her school days in Liberia. When she came back to Germany to study politics, she soon discovered that she could be a far better representative for music than for political affairs. After vocal training and many performances as the lead or background singer in various bands, and after excursions into advertisement and film music, she joined the sound collective De-Phazz in 1998, where she supplies lyrics and lead vocals to this day.

Coming Home
Nouvelle Vague is the exceptionally successful project of French music producers Olivier Libaux and Marc Collin. Their unusual and charming rearrangments of various new wave and post-punk classics has become a classic itself.
Accordingly, Libaux and Collin have, with help from their singers (among others Melanie Pain, Gerald Toto), bared the heart and soul of songs by Joy Division, The Clash or Blondie and translated them into chanson and bossa nova spheres on their last two albums. For the second part of the “Coming Home” compilation, they have come up with a special concept, which is a credit to its name that also refers to the French film genre: “Coming Home” compiles 20 pieces that are all taken from movie soundtracks

ROAD
ROAD sound like Massive Attack going on a trip to brazil and Africa, taking with them the soul of Terry Callier and the raw funk of Gorillaz.
Most roads lead somewhere. Whatever the destination, the great majority in London tend to be rather stressful, hurried and inorganic places. This is what immediately sets the musicians of ROAD apart.
Paul Gunter, Mike Benn and D. “Boo” Gallagher, recorded their debut album blessed by several strong vocals from the likes of Terry Callier, Earl Zinger (2 banks of 4), Valerie Etienne (Galliano, Kylie & Jamiroquai), Lucy Jules (Brand New Heavies, George Michael & Beverly Knight), Rosina Kazi (Lal), Elliot May (Basement Jaxx), Lorna Brown (Terry Callier), Jeanine levy and Will Mathews (Lo-finger & Rub Ultra), and the result is an infectious, fresh debut album
