In The Spotlight

Liv Dawson – “Electrify”

Born in Shepperton and raised in West-London, this British singer and songwriter grew up in a music-loving household. With an organic penchant for music, she’s completely self-taught. She wrote her first song aged 13 and by 14 she was performing in pubs and clubs. Since then she’s evolved to playing festivals such as Latitude and The Great Escape and opened for Tom Walker and Jessie Ware. Inspired by Lauryn Hill, BeyoncĂ© and Amy Winehouse, she debuted with “Tapestry” in 2016.

Singing about igniting the spark of a new relationship, her new single celebrates coming out of a dark emotional place in order to find a bright and vibrant version of yourself. Accompanied by a high-energy, funkalicious dance-pop vibe, the song is running on a dynamic sonic voltage. With a pulsating bassline, snappy drums and sparkling synths filling every crevice of the melody, it’s the R&B-tinted warmth of her vocal optimism that gives this fast-paced groove its floor-filling vitality.

In The Spotlight

Toast Club – “Mean Girl”

Based in London and formed in 2014, this British duo consists of Tommy Villiers and Chuck Smythe. Since their start they’ve honed their sound by performing on the grassroots live circuit at venues such as The George Tavern in London and Hyde Park Book Club in Leeds. They’ve recently made their festival debut at The Great Escape in Brighton and are due to play Wales’ Gottwood Festival in June. Inspired by Steely Dan, Casiopea and Pat Metheny, they released their debut “Skate In” in 2024.

Narrating the story of someone who’s navigating the dating scene in a big city, their new single follows a wild night out with a high-energy girl. Deeply dipped in nostalgic yacht-rock hues mixed with a jazz-pop flair, the song gives a contemporary twist to the warm sounds of the 70s and 80s. With vintage-sounding synths, jazzy guitars and a soaring sax solo forging a sun-drenched melody, it’s the slick harmonies and smooth vocals that make this funky groove sound like sanguine silk.
