Pete’s debut EP features: Lead track Idolsan upbeat satire on societies obsession with celebrity. Doorstep Riots observations on life, being broke, the complacency of society & growing up living in Belfast. Angel Faces, definitely a love song and Just Like You a real heart breaker!

Pete Gardiner is a singer songwriter from Newtownards in Northern Ireland. He’s had a passion for music since the age of 6 when he first heard Slash play the opening three chords of "Knockin’ on Heavens Door". He got his first guitar when he was thirteen and developed a serious passion for rock music as only young teen boys can!
Pete is a true and clever lyricist, it’s in his blood. He writes about his circumstances at any given moment, his relationships with people, doomed romances, news stories that hit him hard and pretty much any thought that comes into his head. His music is strongly influenced by his idols; Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen. As his talents have matured he says of Dylan and Cohen “They are both as endearing as each other, they can take you as far as you are willing to go and then drag you that little bit further and I learn more and more from them everyday”.
For many of his early years Pete worked as a cashier in a bank, playing gigs around local bars at the weekends while also recording a few EP's, which gained a lot of local airplay on regional BBC stations. Then, discovered by a radio network in the UK, he was signed by, entrepreneur Neil Utley’s label NUA Entertainment, which is chaired by Grammy winner Paul Hardcastle. Pete has just finished recording his debut album with award winning Irish producer Tommy McLaughlin (Villagers/ Soak) mastered at Abbey Road and has moved to London, performing nightly on the London club scene where he has been gigging every night for the past few months crafting his art of performance and excellent song-smithery.
Pete will be joining the London Mayor’s office to spearhead their ’London Busking’ event, which takes place in July. He will form part of a panel of experts to mentor new artists and will perform on stage in Trafalgar Square on July 18th in front of hundreds of people attending this event. He will also be recording for Bob Harris’s ‘Under The Apple Tree’ sessions in July.
Following some session work with Stevie V of 'Dirty Cash' fame, the band were invited to perform in his own BlueBass Studios where he has begun producing the band's material.
The latest result is Black Smoke Symphony's new single Wait All Night which has been described as having a smooth modern edge, biting licks and a classic Country Rock sound.

Syron – ‘Talking Crazy’ (Radio edit, Original, AM 2 PM, DJQ)
Following Syron’s glorious comeback with new single “All I Need”, the pop starlet continues her string of smashes with “Talking Crazy”.
“All I Need” was the first piece of new material we’d heard from Syron in a while and instantly assured fans that South East London’s favorite dance-pop chanteuse was back and sounding fresher than ever. A silky smooth blend of laid-back R&B and garage enhanced by twinkling synths, a thumping bassline and Syron’s honeyed vocals it received support from MistaJam, Target, Majestic at KISS and Rinse FM. A finely crafted pop tune, “All I Need” is already ruling dance-floors and festival DJ sets this summer.
Her new singles come following a creative break in LA, but that’s not to say Syron’s music isn’t still buzzing with her distinctly UK sound. “Talking Crazy” is another gem to add to her growing discography; a rich, addictive pop song that’s got a vibrant 90s house vibe. Syron deftly adapts her rebellious girl power persona onto a danceable deep house and garage-inspired banger that oozes confidence and attitude.
Having collaborated with the likes of Tensnake, MNEK and Rudimental, Syron is now signed to London based Fame Music. On “Talking Crazy” we have Majestic - creator of super-juicy house cut “Creeping In The Dark” - displaying the talents of his production chops, with Offset and One Bittaking care of remix duties.
With her killer new tunes and party Riot Grll attitude the world is now ready to fall in love with Syron all over again.
Their underground appreciation is growing with Tinie Tempah blogging about them and features already on tastemaker sites such as SBTV, Pardon My Blog, Reload Sessions, Dropout UK and more.
It’s little surprise that they already have support within the industry, with Emeli Sande, and Ed Sheeran who after speaking on Twitter, treated them to a cheeky Nandos to discuss future opportunities, share advice and has remained a fan ever since!
They're releasing new single Touch Down on August 24th taken from their upcoming EP of the same name, coming later in the year.
Beyond The Break’s debut EP ‘Pictures Of Losing Sleep’ is out on 4thSept on 2P Records. The interesting thing about it, was it was all recording live to tape, preserving quality and will be released on Vinyl with track ‘The Way It Was’ racking up over 25,000 organic plays on Spotify already.
If you can check out their video for ‘The Way It Was’ from it here and let me know what you think, that’d be great- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBW5Vvd2b4s

At university she met fellow musicians and producers who shared the same musical influences, and from there channelled her musical ideas and creativity and helped shape the artist BB is today.

Lay Z is under the BBK camp these days and performed at the last Red Bull Soundclash, as well as going along to Jamaica where the guys filmed their documentary and video for Shakey. Complex picked up the audio premiere of 'Thats What I'm On' and the video dropped via SBTV last week and has already racked up over 65K views https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO4qysZry7Q
You will recognise the 26-year old MC from one of the most memorable clashes on Lord Of The Mics with Marger, where Lay Z won based on his lyrics and no holds barred approach. However he doesn’t like to talk about it anymore just stating that he ‘JA Ruled him’. He went on to work a lot with BBK performing at Fabric where the crowd knew every word of his lyrics.
The talented emcee can also sing and is currently working on an RnB project. So look out for more Lay Z music coming your way in 2015!
