@zealandardor’s new single ‘To My Ilk’ just dropped and is sounding unreal. Proud that our producer @adrian_bushby_ mix this one…amazing work as ever.
You can hear @zealandardor as a guest this evening on @zanelowe’s @applemusic show.
Looking forward to more new music from these guys…
We’ve loved working with @bigspecial_ on their latest release ‘TREES’.
‘TREES’ is fast paced, powerful punk rock at its finest, and it’s no surprise to us that it’s the band’s fastest growing release to date, winning high praise from all corners of the music press, as well as editorial love from @spotify and beyond.
Check out the band’s upcoming UK live dates, part of @diymagazine ‘Now + Next’ tour, as well as a special night, headlining London’s @thejazzcafe in May.
2024 is shaping up to be a colossal year for Big Special.

Still buzzing from this one! @westonloney headlined a SOLD OUT @powerhauscamden (formerly Dingwalls) in London over the weekend. The first artist to completely sell the venue out in over 8 months and with a 100% independent approach. That’s over 650 tickets sold and with only 3 songs out there in the world. A mammoth achievement and a stellar night all round.
Proud to be part of the team and on the journey with Weston. We can’t wait for the next one.
#DontTryCampaigns
‘We Get On’ is the latest release from future Irish superstar @westonloney
Weston’s music embodies the ability to distil small-town grit and make dance floor ready indie-anthems via his guitar-driven melodies and soaring vocals, which seem destined for arenas worldwide.
It’s a pleasure to be working with Weston across all things digital. Here are some highlights from the campaign to date -
✅ 900% Increase in Spotify Streams
✅ 2,200% Increase in Spotify Listeners
✅ 1,500+ New Followers
✅ 400% increase in Spotify Algorithmic Streams
Weston is also headlining Dingwalls this Saturday night in London and it’s on its way to a sell out, with a 100% independent approach. Mental. A statement as ambitious as Weston and his music.
Keep an eye on this one…

Back in March 2021 our producer @producerperks teamed up with a new band called @gingeband to record their debut single ‘I Hate You’. Today it’s finally released and we couldn’t be happier to be part of the campaign, supporting the release across campaign management, digital marketing, content creation and playlisting.
Sounding absolutely huge lads… love the energy - we can’t wait to hear what’s next 🧡
Such a pleasure to see @softcultband perform their debut London show at @camdenassembly - the band absolutely killed it in-front of a sold out crowd
It’s been the same story across the country during Softcults first U.K. tour…each venue has been packed with well earned fans.
What a joy it has been helping build the bands following to this point, nothing better than seeing it translate into nights like this. Lots more to come…
@wearecomforts have just released their latest track ‘Iron Lung’ • The Brighton based quartet make indie pop with amped up guitars and catchy choruses.
It’s been a dream collaborating with the band across digital for the release, helping to connect their music with a new audience.
