Norway's electro pop quintet CASIOKIDS play Camden’s Barfly in February. Nestled comfortably on Moshi Moshi records (responsible for discovering Hot Chip, Thecocknbullkid, Friendly Fires, Late Of The Pier amongst many more) Casiokids' music spans the widths and breadths of bass heavy pop, synthy dub and darker percussive club moments, all the time with a smattering of their distinctive harmonic vocals. Similar to Sigur Ros before them, the band don't sing in English - something which, it transpires, has seemingly no effect on how many new fans they scoop up across the world - evidently the addictive melodies and danceable pop hooks talk to huge audiences regardless. Their bouncy percussive basement music, eerie melody and distorted bass are the product of inspiration from such diverse sources as Paul Simon's 'Graceland', Ivor Cutler, King Tubby, Bob Hund, Cornelius And Fela Kuti.

With a triumphant Glastonbury performance, and endorsement from the BBC as the best new thing since bread itself (never mind sliced), DIMBLEBY AND CAPPER takes to the stage in a mixture of seductive outfits and terrifying masks for sets that confuse and delight in equal measure in a uniquely dark, electro folk-pop way.

Having already shared the stage with everyone from Holy F**k to David Holmes, SKIBUNNY jumped into 2009 with a live showcase at Canadian Music Week, DJ sets in Brooklyn, an impressive 6 shows at SXSW in Austin, Texas (plus a guest appearance with The Mae Shi) and a packed out show at The Camden Crawl. Skibunny then retreated into the studio to complete their debut album, emerging only to play or DJ at a few key festivals, including T In The Park and a main stage DJ slot at Bestival. They Tilly & The Wall (Moshi Moshi), Them:Youth (Dirty Boots), The Mae Shi /Yeah Big & Kid Static (Moshi Moshi), Dag For Dag (Saddle Creek), Paloma Faith (Sony) and more. The debut album will be released in June, and boasts guest vocals by Maps and Kaori Tsuchida from The Go! Team. Skibunny have recently returned from NYC where they played a series of live & DJ dates at the CMJ Music Marathon 2009, including a DJ slot alongside Bryan from The National and Japandroids, and they ended the year opening for Har Mar Superstar, on his December UK tour.
