£10 ADV £12 OTD
Luke Glazsher
Luke Glazsher is a producer/multi instrumentalist who came to London almost a decade ago writing and producing for artists in the London scene. Now he is showcasing his own music as a gritty alternative R&B artist. After releasing his debut EP: Lucky last year, Luke is following up with a second EP titled: Saint. The first single: Downfall is out now.
The Havocks
The Havocks, spelt purposefully, are a four-piece rock band fronted by sister in arms, Clary and Adora, inspired by everything sleazy in music, fashion and attitude. With lead guitarist Charlie and the Jessie on drums, the four are kicking up a storm in London leaving a trail of striped skinny jeans, top hats and tutus in their wake. Controversially.
China Aster
“Stuffed with pop hooks, ’80s synths, cut glass vocals and lyrical wit” - Louder Than War
“Listeners will feel as if they have been transported to an other-worldly discotheque” - When the Horn Blows
Described by BBC Introducing as ‘very fresh and new’, China Aster is the solo project of Guernsey-born, London-based Josh Moore. Taking its botanical name from a debt-ridden character in Herman Melville’s ‘The Confidence Man’, the project kicked off in 2022 with debut single ‘If I Could Dance’.
Moore moved to London to study Fine Art at Goldsmiths where he drew on inspiration from the utopian writings of Karl Marx, Ernst Bloch and Nikolai Fyodorov. Recent singles have tackled topics ranging from rationality, memory to toxic positivity. Self-described as “a campaign for lucid daydreaming”, China Aster’s music explores hope and optimism through notions of political action and science fiction, via the contemporary art-pop of John Maus, MGMT and Grimes, and via classic 80s artists The Style Council, Cocteau Twins, and Talking Heads.
DENIZ
"DENİZ, of Turkish origin now based in London as a singer/songwriter, is rapidly gaining ground in the music industry as a multi-genre, bilingual artist with her touching, soft and wide-ranging vocals. Influenced by a blend of cultures, she draws inspiration from various genres and artists. Through her music, she vulnerably shares personal experiences, inviting listeners to empathize and find a reflection of themselves. After practicing law in her home country, the 29-year-old artist moved to London to pursue her passion for music and perform at various venues in the UK. Deniz is joined on stage by her talented bandmates: Aviv, an exceptional guitarist and songwriter whose original compositions also will be featured on stage, alongside Ignas on bass and Mina on drums, whose creativity and energy help shape the band’s unique sound.
