Emerging from London’s creative underground, Y is a genre-defying band formed in 2023 by Adam Brennan and Sophie Coppin, whose contrasting styles forged a sound jokingly dubbed “wonk rock,” “Gameboy thrash,” and even “Egyptian wedding music.” Their lineup amplifies this eclecticism: Sophie’s instinctive hooks, Adam’s experimental guitar harmonies, Dan GB’s hardcore-meets-Italo-disco pulse, Fells’ dynamic percussion, and Harry McHale’s lead-voice sax.
The Windmill quickly became their home stage, where their live favourite Why evolved into an explosive “audio party.” In November 2024, Y signed with SO Recordings & Hideous Mink Records, with their debut EP arriving April 2025 and a run of exhilarating shows building their reputation as one of the scene’s most exciting new acts.

With his explosive blend of glam-punk, psychedelia, and goth influences, Brighton's ELLiS·D guarantees an energetic live show, with an explosion of whiplash riffs, psychedelic break downs, false endings and rip-roaring returns.
Sophomore EP Spill on Crafting Room Recordings is written and performed entirely by ELLiS·D himself (aka Ellis Dickson) at Hackney Road studios with Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip, Jenny Beth), ‘Drifting’ offers the closing track of ELLiS·D’s Spill EP, a seven song jetstream of rocket-fuelled, goth-tinged glam-punk, infested with 21st century paranoia:
Ellis has been making a name for himself all across Europe and the UK, with festival performances at key tastemaker events like Soundcity, Brighten The Corners, The Great Escape and Live At Leeds, and European heavyweights; Best Kept Secret, Haldern Pop and Leffingeleuren, as well as supporting some of the finest talent in the UK such as Fat Dog, GANS and BILK.
Supporters include BBC Radio 6Music (New Music Fix, Tom Robinson, Emily Pilbeam), Radio X (John Kennedy), So Young Magazine, NME, Far Out, Hard of Hearing and Rodeo.

Horsefair are a post-rock and art-punk six piece honing sharp turns and towering swells of noise down to a science. Anchored by the haunting alto timbre of lead vocalist & saxophonist Kate Francis, Horsefair channels the unnerving power of PJ Harvey, the hypnotic chamber rock of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and the post-rock edge of Mogwai. In a single breath, the band can whip a crowd into a frenzy and then subdue them into hushed, cathedral-like stillness.
