1000 Beasts

Genre : Electropop

Bio : 1000 Beasts is the alias of Cian Sweeney, an Irish producer/artist who collaborates with different artists on every track (they are the “beasts” behind the name) to make soulful, indie pop & hip hop inspired tracks. His debut EP “On A Different Page” was released in July 2020 through Unity Group (Paris) followed by the runaway success of his remixes for Elaine Malone (You), Joshua Burnside (Noa Mercier) & Pollena (The Pool). 2021 will see 1000 Beasts release his debut album. ‘For You & I’ is the first release from 1000 Beasts upcoming debut album, due out later in 2021. The track sees the return of past collaborator Alex Tierney.

Track: ‘For You & I

Why We Like It: Boasting subtle melodies and moments of elegance that are injected into a vast pool of building electronics, ‘For You & I’ is a well crafted and thoroughly enjoyable tune. This laid back, R&B hued, alternative pop number has a smooth melody that flows over bubbling rhythms and ethereal electronics. The track pivots around the intricate beats as they slap, ripple and pulse while wispy synths create a brooding expansive soundscape. The track is fluid and chilled, with Tierney’s smooth vocals oozing soulful tones.

Deva St. John

Genre : Indie rock

Bio : Born in London to American parents and raised in Berkshire, Deva St. John’s sound harbours a true sense of trans-Atlanticism. Bridging the gap between the sleaze and swagger of ’70s British rock and its much more contemporary American counterpart. 

Track: Preacher

Why We Like It: ‘Preacher’ swarms in on a blaze of mighty rock n’ roll as Deva uses scorching instrumentation, powerful vocals and infectious hooks to create one hyper anthem. Featuring a rapid drum assault, resounding guitar shrills and relentless bass grooves, the track is lean, mean and ready to batter your ears with raw rock goodness. This adrenaline-inducing slap of fury showcases intense haunting verses and an enjoyable explosive chorus which creates that energetic mosh ready wall of sound sure to ignite a live audience.

JaYne

Genre : Singer songwriter

Bio : JaYne is an Irish production-based songstress drawing a well of inspiration from experiences and observations on life, love, politics, travel and her home town of Limerick in the west of Ireland.

Track: Ego

Why We Like It:  Peppered with soul, jazz and R&B elements ‘Ego’ is a lush and sumptuous new tune from JaYne. With warm saxophone glowing between a bubbling groove on double bass and soft drum beats, the track exudes vaporous melodies, seductive harmonies, and sultry instrumentation. JaYne’s soulful vocals coo and lull over poignant lyrics, which discuss modern dating and sex culture in an age driven by social media and social status. ‘Ego’ is a beautifully crafted and refined new single.

Boasting lush harmonies, catchy chorus and a delicately weaved backdrop, it’s a soothing tune. The track flows upon a dreamy melody while twinkling keys and glittering guitar provide a soft radiance allowing the supple drums and rich percussion to provide the songs bounce and texture.
