Joy Oladokun’s third record, In Defense of My Own Happiness, is out today on Republic Records and it’s a total triumph. What’s more, we’re very pleased that Joy’s chosen to include a song she wrote a little while ago with our very own Henry Brill on the LP. It’s called Let It Be Me and it’s a little bit heartbreaking, a little bit tender and lyrically and musically stupendous. Do yourself a favour today and go and check out the whole record.
Read MoreThis is a big one - today sees the release of the new album from our incredibly talented pal, DePresno - out today via Sony Music Norway. I’m a bit hungover and thinking of how much I love this album and how proud I am that Henry Brill has co-written it with dePresno and Askjell is making me come over all emotional. It’s a beautiful set of stories and songs and I implore you to get involved with the album as soon as possible.
Read MoreMatt Maeson is a phenomenal talent - his 2019 record Bank On The Funeral (and its acoustic sibling) is a sublime piece of work. His new single, Nelsonwood Lane, came out earlier this week on Neon Gold/Atlantic and it’s every bit as exciting and beautiful as its forebears. Produced by the fantastic James Flannigan, we were over the moon to have our guy Owen Lewis be invited to engineer.
Read MoreIt’s been a hot minute since we’ve had new music from British/Korean duo WOOZE. Their last EP, What’s On your Mind?, mixed by Darren Lawson, was a big record for us back in 2019, and we were delighted to get the call for Daz to mix their new single.
Read MoreAnother track from the upcoming Alex McArtor EP, produced and co-written by our Nashville-based dream team of Henry Brill & Owen Lewis. Broken Bone is a pretty marvellous piece of alternative pop with a killer vocal.
Read MoreBedside Manners released their newest track, Feel Alive, this week. Produced and mixed by Al Groves and engineered by Loic Gaillard at the Motor Museum, it follows on from their heavily playlisted previous collaboration, Out Of Control. This is a very exciting song from a very exciting band.
Read MoreOur Daz has been mixing Alfie’s stuff since day one, and it’s been quite the trip watching Alfie Templeman develop towards his amazing debut mini-album, Forever Isn’t Long Enough.
Read MoreIt’s been a long time coming and I’ve waxed lyrical about the singles before, but Old Sea Brigade’s sophomore LP, Motivational Speaking is out now.

Read MoreWorking away from his Manchester bunker during last year’s first lockdown, Steven A Griffiths produced and mixed a new track, Sunshine, for East London wunderkind Millie Turner.
Read MoreWe deal primarily in behind the scenes talent round here, so it’s not often I get to talk about gigs. I am, however, able to say with a mixture of delight and sadness that our boy Henry Brill will be performing for the final time under his John Joseph Brill moniker. He’s doing two nights in Nashville - one this evening (the 30th April) which is fully sold out, and one tomorrow (1st May), which has a couple of tickets week. It’s at a secret location and I am beyond gutted than I’m not able to be there. Goddamn pandemic.
Read MoreI’m just beyond excited for the world to hear this record… Another track from dePresno’s upcoming album Places, co-written by Henry Brill, alongside dePresno and Askjell. It’s lovely.
Read MorePost-punk meets techno? Don’t mind if I do. Sean Oakley has been defying the barriers presented by mere geography to continue working with one of Bristol’s most exciting new bands, Scalping. He’s produced, engineered and mixed their new single Monolithium, that precedes their upcoming EP (and with any luck, a whole heap of raucous live shows).
Read MorePet Envy are ace. Anthemic pop/alternative crossover music for fans of the Naked & Famous, Lucius and Tame Impala. Owen Lewis has lent his considerable skills to their new single, Ghost Child, hopping on for mix and production duties.

Read MoreMarie Naffah’s debut EP, Golden State comes out today, supported by our friends at Frictionless Music. Simon Byrt produced the four tracks on the record and had a hell of a time capturing Marie’s phenomenal signature vocal in his West London studio.
Read MoreI still don’t know much more about Madeline Finn that I did last time I wrote about her, but what I do know is that Owen Lewis mixed and co-produced this fantastic new single, alongside regular collaborator Ben Cramer/Old Sea Brigade. Ohio is out right now.
Read MoreI first saw Glasvegas 2007 around the time that their single Daddy’s Gone came out. The recollection of where the show was at is long lost in a fog of rollie smoke and Strongbow hangovers, but I do remember it being absolutely tremendous.
Read MoreMore tracks out today from Old Sea Brigade’s forthcoming sophomore record, Motivational Speaking. Mirror Moon's a particular favourite of mine from this LP, and was mixed and co-produced by Owen Lewis.
Read MoreBedside Manners are mega. They make snarling, forward thinking modern indie that sounds both tuneful and dangerous. Their new single, Out of Control has already picked up radio play from Amazing Radio and hit Spotify’s All New Rock playlist today, on the day of release.
