Native Sun at Empty Bottle

Native Sun is a London, United Kingdom-based duo consisting of bilingual rapper Mohammed Yahya, born in Mozambique, and singer-song writer Sarina Leah born in London, with Caribbean roots. Joining forces in 2010 Native Sun was born fusing hip hop and African rhythms with the aim of promoting a positive message. Native Sun's sweet melodies fuse addictive head bouncing hip hop undertones, conscious bilingual lyrics and catchy hooks perfect for a climate in need of an uplifting message.

The Limiñanas is French duo Lionel and Marie Limiñana from Perpignan. The duo straddles the boundary between psychedelic, shoegaze, and yé-yé. With hazy, reverb-laden hooks, combined at times with noisy distortion, and fronted by effortlessly cool vocals, reminiscent of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, the band is at once timeless and quintessentially French. Getting their start in October of 2009, The Limiñanas are the brainchild of Lio and Marie Limiñana. Beginning as a home studio project the duo spent much time flipping through John Barry and Ennio Morricone LP's and books on Victorian era architecture, watching Noir films, and basking in the sun of southern France seeking inspiration. Their first single came by way of Chicago's venerable Hozac records, followed up by a single 7" release, “Je-ne-suis-pas-tres-drogue”, on Trouble In Mind in April 2010. It's been noted that their are traces of Serge Gainsbourg, Beck, Stereolab, Gospel, Yeh-Yeh, guitar fuzz freakouts, and Nugget's-era stompers in the Limiñanas music. All of which may be true, but Limiñanas' sound is irreverent and singular. The band released 'Costa Blanca' in September 2013 on the Chicago-based label Trouble in Mind.
