Electric Enemy
Electric Enemy is the alternative rock project of London-based multi-instrumentalist and three-time award-winning songwriter Jim Lawton.
Powered by heavy guitars, colossal drums, and dynamic vocals, their sound combines driving guitar riffs with perfectly crafted melodies, delivering a mature and impactful sound.
The sound
Electric Enemy’s sound is reminiscent of MUSE, Royal Blood, and Foo Fighters, delves into everyday reflections, inner demons, and societal critiques. After a series of successful releases in 2021-2023, Electric Enemy released their debut album in April 2023, featuring production credits from Sam Miller (Razorlight, Alberta Cross), Peter Hutchings (Royal Blood), and Grammy-winner Adrian Bushby (MUSE, Foo Fighters).
Their singles have been featured on notable editorial playlists such as Dirty Rock, Alternative Noise, All New Rock, and The Rock List, and they were included in Spotify’s prestigious ‘The Best of The Rock List’ 2021.
Additionally, two of their fan-favorite songs are featured in the popular game BEATSTAR.

Azul
Heaven sent from above, celestial Azul Kechi is setting out to establish herself in the music world. Combining soulful flavours of pop and rnb, she explores all avenues of life on Earth. Love, difference, power, happiness and change.
Welcome to the celestial journey. As heard on BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio London and weekly on Jazz FM, Azul’s sound is set to cast a fresh outlook on the future of pop and rnb music. Redefining what it means to be an artist, she has already set the pace for success, as highlighted by Clout Magazine, ‘Influenced by iconic artists such as Betty Davis and Lauryn Hill, this artist could have her name in lights the same amount as her idols’.
DJ Gruff
Sandro Orrù, in arte DJ Gruff, (8 gennaio 1968) è tra i pionieri della old school Hip-Hop nazionale. Noto per l’originalità di re-interpretazione delle tecniche dello scratch e del rap, DJ Gruff si esprime nella cultura Hip-Hop come turntablist, DJ, beatmaker, rapper e produttore.
La sua carriera inizia nel 1982 e negli anni ha fatto parte di diverse formazioni: The place to be (Next One, Carrie D, Igor, Nando- Boogie e Mr Hyde), Casino Royale (Alioscia Bisceglia, Giuliano Palma, Michele Pauli, Ferdinando Masi etc) Radical Stuff (DJ Skizo, Soul Boy, Sean, Top Cat e Kaos One) Isola Posse All Stars e Alien Army.
Il suo album d’esordio “La Rapadopa” (1993) è un disco di culto che inaugura la golden age del rap italiano, che l’anno successivo raggiunge il massimo con i Sangue Misto (DJ Gruff, Neffa e Deda) e la pubblicazione dell’album “SxM”, universalmente riconosciuto come pietra miliare dell’Hip hop italiano.
Nel 2014 l’incontro con il pluripremiato trombonista contemporaneo, Gianluca Petrella, dà origine a una collaborazione prolifica dalla visione sperimentale dove rap, Hip hop, scratch e Jazz si incontrano in un sodalizio artistico intenso e libero da schemi.
La produzione musicale di DJ Gruff è ricchissima, costanti sono le collaborazioni con musicisti, mc’s, breakers e street artists di tutto il mondo.
