Promoting and Supporting Women in Music
This week Tash and Mari played an abundance of fantastic new music, including tunes from Caswell, Savdaliza and BOUTS. They also paid tribute to the Repeal The 8th referendum that’s taking place in Ireland tomorrow, with tunes from HAWK, Dott and Sissy.
They were joined in the studio by ‘grunge-soul’ duo Sabatta, who talked about their upcoming new album ‘Misfit Music’ and defying genres.
Listen back to the show here:
I’ve been a strong fan of Zoey Lily and everything she’s put out from the moment she popped into our inbox in 2015. Her music always delivers with its electro beats, catchy melodies and Zoey’s distinctive vocals. ‘Not There’ feat. Indigo Svn is no different. With her last single ‘Last Goodbye’ only released last month, she’s back already with her next release. And if there all as good as this… Then keep ’em coming Zoey!
‘Not There’ features American rapper Indigo Svn – him and Zoey were first brought together when she attended one of his shows in North London. The track defies the physical odds of living on the other side of the planet by recording the track within a day and Indigo SVN sending his contributions from his Brooklyn bedroom studio all the way over to the UK. Of the track Indigo SVN says, “In my eyes the project was the dominos falling in the most seamless way. I was in a great reflective mode when the song was brought to my ears and it was the therapy I needed, she helped me step out of my box a bit more too which is alway great when bringing new music to the people.”
I’m continually entranced by Zoey Lily’s hushed and at times haunting vocals and, combined with Indigo SVN on this track, I think it makes for a perfect union.

A mesh of melodic angst that explicitly champions self autonomy, Ex-Vöid have shared their debut single ‘Boyfriend’. Formed of ex-members of Joanna Gruesome Lan McArdle and Owen Williams, the pair embarked on this new musical venture after a chance meeting at a contemporary dance class.
Alongside Laurie Foster, Kester Davies and Jonny Coddington, McArdle and Williams have managed to quickly organise a three track record under the Ex-Vöid moniker, which they’ve released through Don Giovanni Records both digitally and on cassette.
Listen to ‘Boyfriend’ below.

Freakishly catchy, industrial duo SKYND‘s debut single ‘Elisa Lam’ is a mad medley of electronics and warped vocals. The track is named after the tragic death of Elisa Lam, whose demise at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles in 2013 is still shrouded in mystery.
Writing about morbid, inexplicable and brutal criminal cases, SKYND use their warped sources of inspiration to create overwhelming industrial-electronic offerings. “Listening to these tracks, you should feel like you’re in a tiny room and the walls are closing in from all sides,” the duo explain, and that’s definitely the case with ‘Elisa Lam’.
The track is accompanied by a haunting video directed by TallyHo!, which depicts the mysterious events surrounding Elisa’s final moments.
