Axel Hill
​
Last year, London-based Swedish artist released this bombshell of a track. Lovebirds is a gorgeous smoothie of funk and electronic pop, infused with wit and character. Check him out on Insta and keep an eye out for his funk-pop reworking of Groover Washington Jr’s and Bill Withers’ Just The Two Of Us on the way this month.

A rotisserie of new talent this February. Atmospheric indie rock from Dutch band Tessel is sandwiched between slick funk-pop from Axel Hill and bombastic pop-rock from Martyn Yates. Cam steps in the middle to provide an update on the state of festivals and a go-around of what’s going on.
Martin Yates
​
Who doesn’t love a thumping floor tom? Let Your Love kicks off with an irrepressible beat and breaks into open exhilaration. Having been released in autumn, you won’t have to wait long until the next single, due on the 26th. Follow him in all the usual places, we sense there’ll be plenty in the pipeline from this guy.
Tessel
​
Hailing from Utrecht, Tessel are charming and finesseful (yes, that’s a word now). Family Time is all things at once; restless, grounded, chilled out, energetic… and there’s a six track EP coming in summer, too. No need to wait for that either - they’re teaming up with Amber Arcades to bring out their newest single Cinema this month.
