Beat Connection
Coming to our ears via their free download debut EP, Surf Noir is eight tracks of jangly electro dreamy dance music out of Seattle. It’s summer distilled.

The first sample from Wicklow’s Adebisi Shank second album This Is The Second Album Of A Band Called Adebisi Shank, International Dreambeat is pure rainbow rock made of polychromatic guitars and sunbeam rhythms. The album is out on August 20th.

Clare Maguire
Described as a “big-voiced Birmingham belter” by Dublin blogger The Bubble Boy, Claire Maguire certainly has soulful chops. Check out her new single Strangest Thing, as recommended by Neon Gold. One to watch.

The Knocks
This NYC producer duo started off with remixes of The Temper Trap, Ellie Goulding, Katie Perry and Passion Pit. Now making original tracks, their sound is pop aimed at the dancefloor with a strong emphasis on electro fun.

Great tips with Beat Connection and Clare Maguire. I have it on good authority she is an Irish Brummie btw.
