**Gareth Donking -**

Written and recorded in a series of bedroom studios across England and France, London-based Gareth Donkin's extraordinary debut, Welcome Home, showcases the 23-year-old's stunning mix of instrumental virtuosity and emotional intuition, blending sophisticated melodic and harmonic craftsmanship with lyrical explorations of longing, desire, and determination.

The tracks draw on soul, funk, pop, yacht rock, hip-hop, jazz, and even bossa nova, hinting at times to everything from Michael Jackson and Bill Evans to George Benson and Jamiroquai. Gareth's production style is mesmerizing, layering up instrument after instrument in the best one-man-band tradition of Prince or Stevie Wonder. The result is a moving work that's equal parts brain and brawn, a masterful coming-of-age self-portrait from a young artist discovering himself — and his sound — one song at a time.

Born with perfect pitch, Donkin was already fanatically obsessed with both jazz piano and drums before he turned twelve. In high school, he began DJing and teaching himself to record and sample, and by the time he headed to the Leeds College of Music to pursue a degree in production, he was already writing and recording his own material at home. His first single, "Catharsis," was released in 2019 and would go on to rack up more than a million streams on Spotify. A series of subsequent tracks would find similarly organic success and help land him his first record deal.

**BODUR -**

BODUR is here to channel musical art into an exploration of self. The London-born Turkish-Sri Lankan artist harnesses an alternative electronic soundscape to embrace her dual heritage and layered identities. From the EP title to her visual aesthetics, BODUR’s creative process is shaping her as an artist who is inspiring a generation of South Asian and Middle Eastern women across the UK. Delicately capturing three stages of transformation and documenting a journey of self-acceptance, BODUR’s 3-track EP can only be described as mesmerising, sensual and powerful. Effortlessly weaving through themes of youth, growth and rebirth, ÖZ offers a political and personal project showcasing her natural virtuosity. Translated from Turkish, ÖZ means ‘self’, and that’s exactly what this collection of songs are diving into. According to BODUR, each track can be viewed as a microcosm; “I’m zooming in on particular stages of people’s lives that are particularly transformative.”

**Ash Walker Exprience -**

Notting Hill has long been a hub for the multicultural diaspora that has transformed thesound of London. Going right back to the days of Colin MacInnes, documented in City OfSpades, right through to the birth of the Notting Hill Carnival, The Clash and LadbrokeGrove stalwarts like Norman Jay. In recent years, that has been somewhat eroded by thearrival of new upscale residents like Tory MP Michael Gove or actress Keira Knightley. Butlately, a chink in the relentless armour of gentrification has appeared in the shape of AshWalker, producer, DJ, dedicated Afro-futurist and man-about-town.

From his time in popular Post-punk outfit ‘Black Midi’ and working with many of the finest groups in the UK jazz scene - Kokoroko and Mercury prize winners Ezra Collective amongst them - while also creating and playing with Tom Misch, Wizkid, Dave and more, it’s no wonder Kaidi Akinnibi’s own music is so precise and eclectic.

**Kaidi Akinnibi -**

Kaidi Akinnibi grew up in South London. Developing alongside many other musical artists - many hailing from Tomorrows Warriors and the Windmill - his own rare style blends Shoe-gaze Rock, Punk-Jazz, and Indie music via his distinct warm vocals and powerful, emotive, high energy Saxophone sounds.

2023 saw Kaidi’s first impact on the scene, his live recording ‘Real Enough’ recorded before his sold out show at Dalston Curve Garden, and intimate session in the 5db canteen being notable highlights.

His debut album is due to be released early 2025. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
