Daughter
Initially starting out as a solo singer-songwriter, Elena Tonra and her haunting voice were joined by Igor Haefeli (guitar) & Remi Aguilella (percussion) to become Daughter last year. Currently smouldering across the UK (and further) blogosphere, they’re at the forefront of the ethereal folk wave that’s cresting over us at the beginning of 2012. (More …)
TEETH
TEETH are Ximon a.k.a. Babes (laptop), Veronica So (vocals) and Simon (drums). Originally just Ximon and Veronica who were more performance art than band, they recruited Simon to be a bit more serious. From east London’s Dalston area, they’ve been compared to Crystal Castles because it’s easy to do that. (More …)
Zulu Winter
As I sat down with Zulu Winter they seemed reassuringly honest. Only forming earlier this year, they have received plaudits from the right places, and the assembled group of five friends were relaxed together, discussing their first bit of bad press. (More …)
Spoek Mathambo
I was more than a little excited to meet Nthato Mokgata, aka Cape Town, South Africa’s resident master rapper/DJ Spoek Mathambo, but I didn’t realize I was so excited that I would commit this detestable fashion faux pas: light brown belt and checkered black-and-white shoes?

2manydjs
There’s no point in doing a long introduction on Stephen and David Dewaele – the brotherly force behind Soulwax and 2manydjs. You all know who they are. ’SUP went around to their apartment in Shoreditch, east London during a typical English summer torrential downpour to have a chat about what and where they were up to with Radio Soulwax – their enormous online visual and audio production of their entire record collection (and we’re streaming the exclusive Under The Covers 2 part of Radio Soulwax at the bottom of this interview).

Morning Parade
Morning Parade are a five-piece indie rock outfit heralding from an area just outside of the UK’s capital in what’s known disparagingly and a little bit accurately as the ‘armpit of London’, it’s the bit just north of where the folks from The Only Way Is Essex live. (More …)
