- ELKIN -
Ellen and Carla were writing and singing together from the age of 15 before taking their music to a new level as ELKIN. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Joni Mitchell the duo began writing and performing folk-pop, but it wasn’t until they began working with producer lullahush that ELKIN blended their love of thought-provoking folk lyrics with fierce alt-pop production.
ELKIN made their mark in 2019 with singles Green Eyes, Cut My Tongue and DIY, as well as releasing Fall So Easy, a collaboration with Cork producer 1000 Beasts. The self-managed duo have received growing support with ELKIN being selected to perform at showcases such as Whelan’s Ones to Watch, Music Cork and Ireland Music Week.
2020 saw O’Mahony and Ryan continuing this momentum with new release Win Win alongside performances at OutPut Showcase in Belfast and Other Voices Music Trail, Ballina. With the Covid pandemic putting a halt to their other plans, the duo spent the rest of the year writing and recording a collection of singles, ANTHOLOGY, which were released Feb - Aug 2021. This will be followed by an EP release in September, funded by the FMC Recording Stimulus Grant.
- JACK RUA -
Dublin based alternative-pop artist Jack Rua is a unique and original talent. A classically trained vocalist and musician who blends well crafted pop music with electronic-dance and glam-rock influences, Jack has established himself as an artist who strives to differ from the norm and do things his own way. Jack began releasing his music in 2019 after striking up creative relationships with electronic producer Porridge and visual artist PureGrand. His music has since amassed over 200,000 streams on Spotify and has been played frequently on Irish and British radio (RTE 2FM, Spin 1038, FM104, KCLR, Red FM and BBC Introducing).
Much like the artists he lists as his most prominent influences (David Bowie, Lady Gaga, Madonna & Prince) Jack has proven to be a sonic shapeshifter. 2020's mini album 'Narcissus' saw Jack mix glam-rock with dance music to critical acclaim from The Irish Times, Hot Press,God Is In The TV and many more. 'Isolation' followed, a standalone contemporary pop single that became Jack's most streamed single. Jack continued with his reinventions on 'I Don't Party Enough Anymore' in 2021, a collaborative EP with US based artist Saint Taint that warped and contorted Jack's vision through an experimental and scintillating hyper-pop lens.
The COVID pandemic affected his ability to perform but Jack is a naturally gifted frontman who has graced many a stage in Dublin including the Button Factory, Whelans and 2FM's Studio 8. 2021 and 2022 will surely see him soar as he gears up to gig again and debut the music that he has been working on with his motley crew of collaborators.
- VISCOSE -
"Fedora's and fearlessness is all you need to make your mark"
Viscose is an Irish electronic pop artist. Being the writer and producer of all his music, Viscose's love of dance, house and pop stems from his love of LGBT and pop culture. Viscose draws inspiration from Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue and Dagny while colliding it with sophisticated sultry synth sounds, his music is danceable and full of groove.
As a skilled producer, Viscose has produced various successful songs for other artists; Cat (slipping), Mack Johan (Encore) & Apollo Monroe (soda pop.)
Since taking a year out to refine his production skills, collaborate and create magic, Viscose is set for a jam packed year full of exciting releases, visuals and project's. Viscose's devotion to electronic dance music has shaped him into the eclectic, fashion forward visionary that he is today.
"There's something about expressing a certain feeling not only through words but actually through the texture and format of instrumentation. Dance music doesn't always have to have a happy story behind it." — VISCOSE
