Founded in 2016, Slow Dance Records stands at the forefront of the alternative music scene – exploring the corners of the UK underground, you’re likely to encounter their name quite regularly.

Formed via another musical project on the vibrant Montreal music scene, Pottery are the most energetic band to come out of 2020. This week, we sat down with keyboardist, Mr Peter Baylis.

The five-piece were recently included in NME’s prestigious annual artist round-up and I can confidently say that 2021 is going to be the year of Gustaf.

Not many bands can say they’ve played fake weddings and multiple lockdown gigs in the UK and Paris, so naturally we had to check in with Sourface.

…Let us begin reliving 2020 in the most honourable way I know how: through songs validated by copious amounts of Spotify streams and endless TikTok loops.

2020 will be a year for the history books, but we’re sure you all know that by now. Luckily, music has been the beacon of light guiding us through what can only be described as a trainwreck shitstorm (and in the words of Leslie Jones, that’s offensive to shit and trains).

Indie pop artist ella jane may only be nineteen, but her effortlessly ethereal vocals are catching the attention of many.

An ode to the big smoke, the ridiculously appealing grooves and lamenting lyrics of London, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down perfectly capture the love/hate relationship with the gentrifying London we’ve all come to accept.

YES, she has shot some of the coolest bands around (The Orielles, Confidence Man, HINDS, Dream Wife, The Ninth Wave...) but artists-aside, it’s Neelam’s eye that caught our attention.

Having only released her debut single just over a year ago, (which now has almost 2 million Spotify plays) Man is on a rapid trajectory. She’s signed to Columbia Records, supported Beabadoobee and has garnered almost 215,000 monthly Spotify listeners.

Khartoum recently released their latest single, the electric ‘New Cold War’, which they debuted at the Extinction Rebellion Marble Arch Blockade back in 2019. We met up with the band and spent a day exploring Notting Hill…

From touring with Squid and rediscovering her post-lockdown creativity with Goat Girl to shooting Shame a on micro-pig farm…

No, we are not talking about a fanatic Doctor Doolittle animal lover, we are talking about Holly Whittaker.

SWEAT are a self-sufficient operation – from creating genre-bending music out of their DIY South London studio to coding their own VR nightclub, this 5-piece do not disappoint.

Over the past few months 22-year old Delilah Montagu has become one of our lockdown favourites.

Becca Mancari has just released her refreshingly personal sophomore record, The Greatest Part.
