Luan Mei - Elements!

We love this song! Its an all time favorite on our playlists! Hands up for Luan Mei!

From Madrid to Brighton, UK.

Luan Mei's sound is like the sun: warm, energetic and welcoming. A blend of influences from pop, indie, soul and funk genres. Her fingerstyle guitar work adds a very rhythmic edge to her writing, which beautifully underpins her catchy melodies. Her unique voice and her energy when playing challenges anybody to remain indifferent.

Backed by a band of skilled musicians (Sam Preece on the bass and Daniel Pimblett on drums), Luan Mei, combining different genres as her natural way of creating music, has the power of bringing the audience inside her vibrant and rhythmic style of playing the guitar blended with her characteristic and hypnotising tone of voice.

Luan Mei released her debut single ‘ELEMENTS’ on May 2019, which caught everyone’s attention and has been played at BBC Music Introducing several times, Radio Reverb and Platform B Radio. She has performed in venues such as Latest Music Bar in Brighton or Alevosía in her hometown, Madrid, and at the festival The Great Escape 2019.

Matt Holubowski - Two Paper Moon

Just discovered! What a beautiful Song and Video!

released today!

Who is  Matt Holubowski?

Matt Holubowski’s career has really taken off since the 2014 release of Old Man, a collection of folk songs inspired by his many trips and experiences around the world. The watershed moment would be the release of Solitudes, two years later, on the Audiogram label. Produced by Connor Seidel, just as the previous and upcoming ones, the album introduced him to a wide audience who discovered his mercurial voice and captivating songs. Matt earned a Gold record for Solitudes as well as two nominations at the 39th ADISQ Gala, for Album of the year and Concert of the year–Anglophone categories. The Solitudes tour that followed the album’s release had him criss-crossing Canada, the United States and Europe, to perform nearly 200 concerts.

In the Spring of 2018, he signs with the German label Motor Musik and the French label Yokanta, distributing Solitudes in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Belgium. Soon after, he participated in the Printemps de Bourges, toured as the support act for American artist Ben Folds in more than a dozen cities across Europe, and performed in London’s Meltdown Festival at the invitation of Robert Smith, singer of The Cure.

After returning to North America, Matt appears at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, at the Festival d’été de Québec (where he earned its prix Espoir), at the Regina, Ottawa and Winnipeg folk festivals, and at Osheaga Festival in Montreal. Following a series of concerts in the eastern United States in 2018, Matt crosses the Atlantic once more as the opening act for Swiss artist Sophie Hunger on a number of European cities, before returning to close the Solitudes tour in Montreal at the Corona Theater.

Early in 2019, Matt opened for singer-songwriter Dan Magnan in eastern Canada, a last waltz before retreating to the woods for two months in Banff, Alberta, to devote himself to writing the songs for his next album, which is set to be released in 2020. Slowly moving away from folk, he explores new sounds and fleshes out his songs’ arrangements in collaboration with his musicians, guitarist Simon Angell, bassist Marc-André Landry, drummer Stéphane Bergeron and cellist and keyboardist Marianne Houle.

In July, Matt momentarily paused his retreat to present the closing event of the Montreal International Jazz Festival, a memorable evening for both the artist and his audience. The following day, La Presse writes: “Holubowski touched us with grace, sincerity and sensitivity. He also has a charisma which cannot be glossed over, it was so captivating”.
