ARTIST COMMUNITY
A whole bunch of amazing creative people who have blessed us with their performances.
Heart Shaped Everything
Heart Shaped Everything are a British duo, made up of Matthew One Man and Penelope Gwen, who bring a refreshing take on dance music, via live looped guitar and vocals. They weave the genres of house, trance and guitar music, while breathing new life into rock and pop classics such as Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain and Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.
Matthew had been performing as a solo act for 10 years, developing his distinctive guitar looping techniques that create the illusion of a full band, before combining this with Penelope’s powerful vocals and songwriting, a collaboration that has been taking the UK festival circuit by storm.
