Danxgerous is the solo project of Daniela “Dan” Mariti, born from the meeting of Italian and Czech roots, a musical family heritage, and the curiosity of a young artist eager to explore the intimacy of the soul through sound. A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Danxgerous crafts a musical universe suspended between indie-rock, dreamy pop, and contemporary indie-folk, where light and melancholy intertwine to create emotional landscapes that are both luminous and profound. After studying music theory and harmony at Saint Louis in Rome and performing with the band In June (with whom she released singles and an EP, played prestigious stages such as the Auditorium Parco della Musica, and appeared on RAI television broadcasts) Danxgerous embarked on her solo career in 2023 with We Were Never Being Boring (WWNBB). Her debut singles Keys, Sides, Cold Yet Dazzling, and Venom marked the beginning of an intimate and cinematic journey, culminating in SXSW 2024, where she performed four shows including the International Day Stage, as well as a series of concerts across Europe. In 2025, she dedicated herself to writing, recording, and producing her debut album Old Soul, created in El Granada, California with the support of Mara Graziano, Samuele Palazzi and Riccardo Cacciarella and released October 16, via WWNBB.

Scottish indie-pop band wojtek the bear, fronted by Tam Killean, formed in 2016 and released their debut album, a talent for being unreasonable, via Scottish Fiction, in 2018, followed by heaven by the backdoor in 2021 via Last Night From Glasgow. They have since played across the UK and Europe. Their third album, shaking hands with the NME, was released in April 2024 and, on 22 May 2026, they returned with a stunning new album, i don’t think you want to hear this, again via Last Night From Glasgow. Staying true to their tradition of outdoing themselves, this release sparkles with understated elegance and the band’s trademark wit. Recorded at Beetroot Studios in Airdrie, the band worked closely with acclaimed producer Bill Ryder-Jones (Swim Deep, Yard Act, The Wytches) and engineer Stuart MacLeod (Sister John, The Bluebells, Brontës) to bring the collection to life.

Julian Elorduy has been making music since he was fifteen, moving from the noise-soaked chaos of Mayyors to the jangling indie-pop of Fine Steps and, later, the more solitary reflections of Pious Fiction as Julian Never. With this first solo work, Elorduy demonstrates an indomitable creative spirit and an uncommon courage in subverting the genres from which he avowedly draws inspiration. Pious Fiction is a work that expresses great love for the past, but not subjugation to it. His new album, Everyday is Purgation, released in February via Mt. St. Mtn. Records, “awakens on the other side of a Dark Night of the Soul drawing on the writings of mystic, St. John of the Cross, stripping away comforting narratives in order to see what remains with a clearer, more ascetic eye”. It’s Julian at his most exposed, shaped equally by the underground that raised him and the melodic pop that continues to haunt him.

A Lilac Decline is the anagrammatic musical pseudonym of visual artist Cecilia Danell. Originally from Sweden but resident in Ireland for two decades, her debut  album The Mountain Rages (Rusted Rail, 2017) was recorded via one microphone on borrowed and found instruments. Whilst there were flashes of electricity on her debut, her follow-up Shelter From the Shadows (2020) found A Lilac Decline going electric, Telecaster in hand, as her sophomore album was shot through with glimmering and shimmering six string serenades. A Lilac Decline’s third album, Eternity Bores Me was released on May 1st 2026, while her label Rusted Rail entered its 20th year of releasing music. Having blossomed into a fully fledged three piece band centred around songwriter Cecilia Danell and rounded out by bassist/producer Keith Wallace (Loner Deluxe) and Brian Kelly (So Cow) on drums, the new album finds A Lilac Decline further evolving their shoegaze and dream pop stylings whilst also displaying flashes of their handmade and homespun indie-folk roots.
