North London artist Luke Gomm has carved out a unique space in the music world with his innovative fusion of electronic music and soul. His early career was shaped by a collaboration with Nile Rodgers in 2014, leading him to work in legendary studios such as RAK and Strongroom, alongside artists like Rihanna, Sampha, Florence and the Machine, and J. Cole.

In 2024, Luke elevated his sound to new heights, incorporating dance-focused elements with jungle and drum & bass influences. This shift has defined his latest live sets, making them even more dynamic and energetic. He delivered a standout performance during a prime-time slot on the Bread & Roses Stage at Glastonbury, alongside two additional sets at the festival.

Luke also recently wrapped up a European tour, performing solo live MPC sets in Barcelona, Amsterdam, and London. These shows gave him the opportunity to showcase his evolving taste in music, blending live jungle and dance beats to offer fans a deeper dive into the dance-driven direction he has been developing throughout 2024.

In addition to his live performances, Luke has balanced his eponymous artist project with regular writing and production credits for artists such as Miraa May, Lily Allen, Connie Constance, Krept & Konan, Pip Millett, and KiLLOWEN, among others. His music continues to capture the essence of a new London sound.

As Luke puts it:
"Once I fall in love with a song or an idea, it drives me to share that feeling with others."

With support from BBC Radio 1, Spotify, Apple Music, DJ Mag, and Wonderland Magazine, Luke Gomm continues to push boundaries in the music industry.

“We’ve never liked the idea of being ‘just another indie band’,” say King Kuda. The Brighton-based four-piece, whose sound has evolved from classic indie numbers to incorporating “creamy guitars, big hooks, and hypnotic grooves”, first met at university and started jamming in the living room of their shared house. Their 2018 debut single Wildflower’ was packed with spangly guitars and wistful vocals, and now boasts almost half a million streams. New banger, ‘Bloodstream’, however, is reminiscent of electronic artists Dusky and Bonobo, who the band count as recent influences on their sound as well as indie gods, Foals.
