Leeds based electronic Folk musician The Undead Cat explores the delicate overlap between experimental electronics and folk music; Mangling sounds of nature to weave atmospheric songs conveyed through their cathartic and vulnerable songwriting.

Their new single “Walk With Me” is a sensual lullaby. Born out of the gentle low light on the nightstand, from a night of passion and new emotions. Walk With Me documents the emotional landscapes of intimacy that grows beyond the physical.  FFO: Björk, Alif Hilal, James K

Sleep Suppressor is a contemporary Jazz-Rock band based in Newcastle consisting of George Ivanov (guitar), Haaruun Miller (saxes) and Dan Gray (drums).

Described by their audiences as Crazy-Jazz, their music pulls from a wide range of genres, including: prog rock, modern and traditional jazz, jazz-punk, classical, DnB, EDM, and Video Game music to name a few.

Since their launch in early 2023, Sleep Suppressor have obliterated audiences' expectations (and ears) in both jazz and rock venues across the North-East, combining the musicianship of a jazz band with the live antics of a rock group.

George and Haaruun write all the music. They have been writing, recording and playing together for over seven years. The name Sleep Suppressor is inspired by the late nights they used to spend discussing musical ideas - but now is also associated with the feverish excitement with which they leave each crowd.
