M Field:

Matthew Field is known as being the singer and songwriter of Beatenberg. Their debut album The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg (2014) became a showcase for the possibilities of pop music informed and inspired by poetry, art and sounds from around the world. Although consistently described as ‘quirky’ and ‘offbeat’, Beatenberg’s unique sound and Matthew’s songwriting also proved to effortlessly own mainstream South African pop: the band’s breakout hit with DJ Clock, ‘Pluto’, had a record-breaking 19 weeks at number 1 and remains a staple; follow up singles like 'Rafael' and 'Beauty Like a Tightened Bow' continued to hold their own in the charts; and in 2015 the band won seven South African Music Awards, including album of the year. Beatenberg was subsequently invited to record and tour with Mumford & Sons in London and New York as well as making appearances on Later with Jools Holland and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The band released their latest album 12 Views of Beatenberg on Island Records UK.

As a songwriter Matthew is also a frequent collaborator with Tresor, having co-written ‘Never Let Me Go’, ‘Zambezi’ and the platinum record ‘Aphrodite’ which appeared on Tresor’s 2019 SAMA award-winning album Nostalgia.

M Field’s self-titled debut EP, released in September 2021, received a lot of praise from the likes of NPR, DIY and The Line of Best Fit as well as extensive radio support from BBC Radio 1, 6 Music and Radio X. M Field briskly followed this support with a second EP, RE:M Field - a piece of work that Pitchfork heralded, naming tracks "Hyenas" and "House and Leisure" as simply "the best songs M Field has ever written."

Bertie Newman:

He also shared a recent cover of ‘IDK You Yet’ by Alexander 23, which went viral on Instagram, pushing the track to over 6 million Spotify streams and the cover was also used on Earthpix (23.5 M followers) and Noah Beck (9M followers) social accounts.

With everything moving in the right direction, Bertie Newman is ready to share and bring you along his personal journey into grief, anxiety and personal emotions.
