The young artist Jakob Ogawa hails from Oslo, Norway. The Norwegian has plenty of soul and love in his music, and it is a drowsy, luscious and off-kilter sound. Ogawa writes his own material and records everything himself. This year he follows up with even greater tunes.

Straddling the line between hot soul shouter and velvety-smooth crooner, Thomas released a few singles in the late 60's and

Like the Greek legend Icarus, Wax Wings is soaring towards greatness. Taking after his Brazilian father, a musician and British mother, an artist, Wax is a man of many talents. From his visual creations in paint, graffiti and photography to his fashion, make-up artistry and of course music production, his abilities span endless forms of expression.

If you want to know what Gabe Gurnsey's debut album 'Physical' sounds like, the first thing you should do is forget all about Factory Floor, the group he co-founded 13 years ago. Gone are the cold, lengthy, stripped back deconstructions of no wave electronica and industrial techno, abandoned in favour of something altogether warmer, torrid and... well, succinct.

Staying on top of your game and ahead of the curve for over a decade is no easy feat - however it is something that DJ Ace has managed to excel at.
