Caravan Palace

From France, Caravan Palace bring you the improbably futuristic Charleston. Caravan Palace is to swing what the Gotan Project is to tango. With a platinum debut album, a sell out national tour playing to over 200,000 people, a nomination for Victoires de la Musique 2009 and multiple European festivals slots under their belts, The last year has been quite incredible for a quite incredible band.

"It all started with a double bass player, a guitarist and a violinist; all highly talented musicians who are really into swing, Django addicts who enjoy tinkering with electro. Their project attracted a singer, a clarinettist, a trombonist who doubles up on percussion and a guitarist who also acts as DJ. With their "Zazou" look (inspired by Parisian paleo-punks from the 1940s), they serve up festive, frantic music, an improbable futuristic and melodious Charleston fit for the dance floor.

Devils Gun

Late in 2007 producers James and Olly, and Vocalist Jagga got together in their East London studio intent on creating an individual sound nasty enough to irregulate heartbeats and perforate eardrums on dance-floors the world over. The result was Devil's Gun. Sounding like a twisted amalgamation of Daft Punk, The Prodigy and Basement Jaxx, their sleazy, hard-hitting productions perfectly blend breaks, electro, house and synth-rock, with lyrical hooks and melodies that enter your brain and simply don't leave.

The New Devices

A London squat party is not a party unless you forget almost everything that occurs. As it happens when two like minded musicians, Guz and Justin randomly met at a party in notorious east London, apart from a lengthy argument about music and the promise of meeting up with clearer minds, little can be remembered... Immediately, hanging out together turned into mini adventures around the bars of Camden, Hoxton and Soho. Ideas were developed and the motley pair turned motley duo - The New Devices.

The New Devices write songs about debauched nights, mischief and sometimes the regrettable mornings after. Listening to them, you can clearly hear the dance influences and the energetic beats driving the songs, but there's additionally a wide rock'n'roll soundscape offering the big catchy choruses that could fill football terraces. The live performance cements The New Devices sound, using live instruments and Justin as the killer frontman.
