Peach
Toronto's Peach is most frequently found on the internet radio waves, and in various raves. Now based in London, where she hosts her monthly NTS Radio show, you can find her on line-ups with artists such as Pearson Sound, Call Super and Saoirse, or bouncing around the dancefloor.

Her sets are creative, coherently traversing several genres. She deftly constructs elevating narratives with energy, dynamism and passion. This vibrancy is captured on her debut track, "Silky", a fast-paced, melodic cut which was released on Intergraded - a new imprint for emerging artists launched by Midland, as well as on her most recent release "Galaxy Girl" on Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy's label Peach Discs.

Xiaolin
The HEX/HEXSCAPES founder, concert-violinist-turned-electronic-composer and 宀 club mainstay comes from a rare category of highly trained musicians looking to bridge the delicate gap between two sonic worlds: acoustic and electronic.

Originally taking harmonic inspiration from her classical roots mainly of the impressionistic period, Xiaolin found early comfort in Canto-Japanese melodies from the 80’s YMO era and West coast hip-hop/R&B, later falling in love with 90’s Chicago/Detroit palettes as well as warmer breaks from the UK bass scene. Having experienced a breadth of genres from jamming over Arabic makams and gypsy jazz to playing agogos in a Batucada band, she produces an elusively ethereal sound that mixes hints of organic percussion into her signature dreamy electro ambience with Prophet-driven bass lines and Juno-60 pads, evoking feelings of early trance and acid house euphoria.

Her thoughtful selections as a DJ sit within an energetic yet ever-comfortable tempo range, taking ravers on a journey through progressive body groovers sprinkled with raw breaks and nostalgic melodies, while her live electronic ambient sets reveal another more futuristic, textural and contemplative side of her natural musicality. Although still a relatively fresh face in the underground dance scene, the anime-loving, N64-gaming Xiaolin is quietly but steadily building a reputation for delivering music of integrity that doesn’t just make you dance - it always tells a story.

Releases include a compilation 20/20 Vision (Exit Planet Earth) alongside Carl Finlow and Plant43, two EPS on Mihn Records, a feature track on Mr. Ho’s Klasse Wrecks label, with an upcoming compilation alongside Reflex Blue and NDS as well as three EPs on Berlin-based label Sound Metaphors’ “Bless You” imprint. Xiaolin currently hosts a bimonthly show on Baihui Radio China.
