Excited to present London-born, Brighton-raised producer Frank Hopkins at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington on THU 17 OCT as he shares tracks from his latest EP ‘Echoes of Tomorrow’ released on September 13. Left-field electronic artist Frank Hopkins is an artist and producer who curates melodic dance songs that combine the real world instrumentation with more classical dance floor arrangements. He is a creative that has the capability to incite a variety of emotions throughout his music, with the ability to transcend modern landscapes and place his own unique sounds consistently throughout all of his releases.

The ‘Echoes Of Tomorrow’ EP is full of mesmerising beats and synths that surpass reality, the music is blended for either concentration or the dance floor. Inspired by the likes of Four Tet, Aphex Twin and Jon Hopkins, Frank allows these influences to manifest themselves within his music, and lead to a sonic sound that is both melodic and fragile, but also perfect for club nights.

Frank Hopkins’ new EP which is his most IDM-focused so far features the likes of Pleizel, who has recently released on Max Cooper’s MESH, and Boom Logistics, his own father’s performing name. Composed in the latter half of 2023 between France, the UK and New York, the project is meant to reflect the artist’s ‘Motionless’ travels, and is sure to further the artist on his upward ascent.

Holding both compassionate storytelling and sonic experimentation close to her heart, Karma weaves tales of her revolutionary ancestors with messages of support for those marginalised by our increasingly cruel world across her debut.

Having experimented with multifaceted influences on her three critically acclaimed EPs C’est Karma is fully immersing into pop music and culture. Bringing together maximalist pop moments inspired by SOPHIE, Imogen Heap, Caroline Polachek or Björk with this polyglot’s striking lyricism, how to peel an orange is an eclectic body of work. Meandering through spaces of comfort and discomfort, its musical palette ranges from bombastic synth work through to ethereal, heartfelt balladry. Despite its many touchpoints, and languages, Karma remains at the core of everything as a beacon of enduring hope and resilience.

Based in Amsterdam and raised in Luxembourg by a Portuguese mother and an Italian father, Karma has a deep connection with her Portuguese heritage. This shines through on the album; from her dedication to incorporate elements of traditional Fado music to her use of the language, moreover it's present thematically. For Karma this place embodies the dichotomy of comfort and discomfort that runs throughout this project – for her it’s a place filled with warmth, love and joy yet it’s still strongly marked by queerphobia, despair and pain.

The latter are the driving forces behind her new single „Got It“. Starting off as a seemingly harmless piano serenade the song morphs into a Fado-inspired Alt-Pop elegy. Created from a sense of fear that both queer spaces, and space in general, are become increasingly unsafe for members of the LGBTQ+ community like herself, Karma elaborates:

***Nana M. Rose***

London-based, Dutch-born singer songwriter Nana M. Rose writes piano-lead touching, alternative pop ballads that invite you to escape into her world. Inspired by both legendary and contemporary songwriters (Joni Mitchell, Lana del Rey, Adele) and Nana’s classical background, Nana delivers a vintage pop-sound ‘that cannot be compared to any’ (Wonderland Magazine). Her last EP ‘Feathers’ got support from tastemakers like Mahogany and Wonderland, and landed Nana her first support tour with The Veils all throughout Europe in 2023 (IMPRINT: ‘an angelic-like performance). Known for the raw, heart-wrenching emotion she puts into her liveshows and versatility of her voice, she’s steadily building a name for herself across the London live music scene (incl. Sofar Sounds, Spiritual Bar, The Finsbury), and sold out her first headline show at the beautiful Stoke Newington Old Church in London in January 2024.
