With his razor-sharp cheekbones, zig-zag undercut and bag full of sparkling musical moments Frankmusik is going to brightly burn his image on to 09’s retina. ‘Better Off As Two’ is his debut single a lambent disco-pop diamond. With Radio 1 daytime plays and critical plaudits from last year’s limited edition ‘3 Little Words’ EP Frankmusik has a turbo-charged run at stardom. But the real story of his June album ‘Complete Me’ is of red raw heartbreak, written about one girl. Every performance of the songs is an emotional high-wire walk and every press interview a chance to exorcise a bit giving him the unsmiling, deep thinking, slightly scary, faintly tongue in cheek look of a love child of Rimbaud and Verlaine if they’d been fans of the John Foxx of Ultravox. And so we present Frankmusik : an intensely neurotic, glamorous, electroavid, self edited, self-selected, self-focussed, madly dedicated new pop star arriving with a wham bam thank you mam. Release : 06/04/2009

SymbolOne Love Juice
They were the ultimate guinea pigs, cruelly separated and secretly studied as part of a research project into whether human behaviour is the result of nature or nurture.
For years, identical twins Da Flava and Suck16 didn't know the other existed.Their remarkable reunion 6 months ago and their experiences of trying to make up for lost time are emotionally laid bare in their jointly written music...SymbolOne was born.
They are currently working on their first EP which will contain 2 symbol tracks + 2 remixes done by the chosen ones. They have decided that EP will be limited edition of 535 copies as a symbol of the distance that separated them for years.
La Roux - Quicksand
La Roux quickly became one of the most blogged about bands on both mainstream & indie blogs but in almost all the cases the band is referred to as She where many think that La Roux is a solo artist when in fact it's an equal duo effort "singer and synth player Elly Jackson and co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid".. but then you can't blame anyone because the way La Roux been promoting itself through imagery & press does convince one into thinking La Roux is a singer.
Anyhow, when Quicksand was released last November(?) through Kitsune I thought it was the most horrible 80s influenced pop song ever & I probably thought that way because of the distinctive vocals & singing style of Elly.. with further thoughts into it, I realized it was again facing the Muscles Syndrome situation where lots of people thought his messy vocals were a joke but then everyone found themselves drawn into it & appreciating it for the same reason that repulsed them in the first place.
La Roux will release their debut this year through Polydor along with their second single In For The Kill on March 2nd with remixes from Skream & The Twelves.
