Bohemian Jukebox presents Elliot Jack + Raf & O + Electroflex.
Since October 2003 Bohemian Jukebox have provided a quality platform for artists and bands working in the fields of Alt-Folk, Post-Folk, Americana, Anti-Folk, and left-field acoustic.
Elliot jack:
A four piece who mix together loops, samples, guitars and occasional vocals to make a lovely melancholic warming sound. Their songs are beautiful enough to warm the heart of cadaver.
The lovely BBC have used their music on the uber-trendy Countryfile and elliot jack wrote the soundtrack for BBC short film 'Over the Edge'. They've had abag of airplay recenlty all over BBC Radio.
Raf and O:
"Indietronic delicacy...Seductive, winding pieces of jazzy vocal electronica. Like Björk on her intimate 'Vespertine' album, these songs feel like they're playing inside your head – and once there they won't leave." (Mixmag)
"It enchants with dense sound sculpture combined with fragile rhythms and sweet smokey vocals" (Skug Magazine-Germany)
"If you liked the less obvious outings of Lamb and vocalist Lou Rhodes solo work, then there should be plenty for you here. " (IDJ magazine)
"Opening track ‘Sky’ has glitchy, dream-like appeal; imagine strolling through a sun-swept computer generated garden with a beautiful digital pixie you’ll be half way to grasping what this sounds like."
(Kingdom Magazine)

80’s influenced electro in the vein of Human League, Goldfrapp, and Depeche Mode

Humbucker promotions present Darko + Rudi’s New Outfit + My Secret Life + Rundown
Darko:
"Sometimes when you least expect it a sound comes along that makes you sit up and pay attention as happened to me on the 8th July. The line-up at the Sound Bar included this young three piece band formally known as "Autumn Ignites" – the band now go under the name of Darko, and very impressive they are too. The lads have some really strong material which they deliver with amazing maturity, their material is well crafted and has obviously been written and constructed with a lot of care and attention. It is quite common to come across bands that can churn out good tunes, but with Darko you get that little bit more. There is a great feel of light and shade about their songs, which makes them easy to listen to. As a live act they have great stage presence and put their material over well. I was very impressed with Darko and I will definitely be seeing them again."
My Secret Life:
my secret life are a indie, alternative, pop, punk three piece from Birmingham (uk). not long after there formation in mid 2005 they recorded there debut demo 'whatever it takes' which saw overplay.com compare them to radiohead, pixies, rem and supergrass and 'ryan's gig guide' claim they were the missing link between placebo and snow patrol. the demo lead to live favourite 'easy when you know how' being included on the u.s only released 'britainrocks!' compliation and the same track was eventually released as a single through horusmusic at the beginning of 2008. the band continue to gig everywhere and anywhere they can and are in the very early stages of putting together there own label with which they can release their own stuff and plan to have released a couple of e.ps by the end of the year.
