Just before their debut in 2018, the band 'Nerd Connection' was recognized for their solid skills, winning the 'EMERGENZA World Band Contest 2018 KOREA' and making a spectacular debut on the stage of the 'Taubertal Festival 2018' in Germany as representatives of Korea. 

Through their music and performances, they currently show the process of 'people deeply immersed in their own worlds being connected and united through music.’ 

Under the slogan "Chaotic World, Warm Music," they mainly sing about things that remain beautiful despite being dark and pessimistic.

With a rock sound infused with pop elements, clear-cut melodies, and deep lyrics, they have established a definitive musical worldview, positioning themselves as key players set to lead a new era for bands.

In their recently released second studio album <And yet, We still>, the band declares that the mere fact of ‘being alive, after all’ makes every process a wonderful experience. They have meticulously arranged 14 tracks to expand their bold musical world unique to Nerd Connection.

They are garnering significant attention from the public with their distinctive performance style, showcasing an interactive audience participation show in 2023 and directing a solo performance with immersive media art in 2024.

Il a 20 ans, 4 projets, une cigale complète et des milliers de rimes au compteur. Grâce à sa proposition unique qui souffle un véritable vent de fraîcheur sur le rap français, NeS s’est très vite hissé comme l’un des espoirs les plus captivant de cette scène. Et ça, c’est grâce à une authenticité brute, un goût prononcé pour l’exploration sonore et une vive passion pour le rap qui ne cesse de transpirer dans ses morceaux. 

Pour NeS, tout commence avec des rencontres. Celle d’un cahier et d’un stylo d’abord, qui lui donnent l’espace de liberté et d’écriture dont avait besoin ce jeune adolescent du 94 pour cristalliser ses émotions. Celle d’un ami en devenir ensuite, un certain Deemax : avec lui, les journées se rythment désormais au travers d’une chose, le rap. Elevé à l’école du freestyle, c’est au travers des placements et des multisyllabiques que NeS fait ses premiers pas dans la musique, porté par un entourage aussi créatif que solide.

Melbourne-bred singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Nick Murphy burst out of the SoundCloud streaming world and onto the global stage with the release of his 2014 platinum selling debut LP ***Built on Glass***, released under the Chet Faker moniker. On the heels of that album’s success, he spent the next half decade on the road, traveling with a microphone in his suitcase, recording the first Nick Murphy album, 2019’s ***Run Fast Sleep Naked***, on the fly.

Murphy followed that up in early 2020 with a surprise instrumental LP called ***Music for Silence***, an exploratory ten-track collection initially released exclusively via the Calm app. The record saw wider availability in early March 2020 via Murphy’s own Detail Records — an eerily prophetic release that foreshadowed the isolation wrought by the impending Covid-19 pandemic.

In late 2020, Murphy revived the Chet Faker project with the single “Low” and released the highly anticipated second Chet Faker album, ***Hotel Surrender***, in 2021. That was followed by the first Nick Murphy & The Program LP, ***Take In The Roses***, produced by Dave Harrington of Darkside.

Recording artist. Composer for ESPN & Disney. CEO of Bass Domination. She sports a colorful mohawk shaped like a bass clef. Explosive stage presence isn't enough to describe the way Nik West moves, wows, and shocks crowds everywhere.

With credits that include work with Quincy Jones Productions, Prince, Glee, American Idol, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame, and more, bassist, singer, and songwriter Nik West is anything more than just another pretty face. 

Noted music journalist Alex Henderson (Billboard) sums West’s incredible talent up saying “Nik West is one 21st Century artist who isn’t lacking in the chops department. She is a young electric bassist who clearly knows her way around her instrument and plays like she has been inspired by the funky likes of Larry Graham, Louis Johnson (of Brothers Johnson fame) and Marcus Miller." She is also a highly expressive singer. Known for impressively recording a cover of "Back In Black" by AC/DC, Nik shocked many rock fanatics and became a new favorite of Steven Tyler and Lenny Kravitz.

She has also shared stages with John Mayer, Sugarland, Macy Gray, Bootsy Collins, George Clinton/Parliament Funkadelic, and Orianthi. In June 2016 Nik joined Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, and Slash as a cover girl for American Musical Magazine.

Après avoir passé du temps à travailler et faire mûrir sa plume et sa voix, Noah a sorti en 2023 son tout premier album : MURPHY.

Accentuant la recherche de musicalités nouvelles tout en gardant la profondeur et la technicité dans les textes, cet album est celui de la maturité pour l'artiste, qui partage son expérience de la loi de Murphy et la manière dont il apprend à vivre avec.

Pour compléter cette expérience, l'album, qui a été bien reçu par le public de Noah (plus de 200.000 écoutes), aura droit a sa version deluxe le 5 avril.
Le rappeur a donc décidé d'accompagner cette sortie d'une campagne vinyle et de merchandising.

Known at home as Jimmy Dunne, Nogymx is an Irish-born, South Korea-based English professor moonlighting as a producer with a love for the non-traditional style of instrumental hip hop. 

Formerly known as "No Gimmicks," Nogymx has rebranded himself with a name that is often mispronounced yet memorable. His music fuses the atmospheric elegance of Bonobo, the jazz-inflected beats of Freddie Joachim, and the cultural influences of his adopted home in South Korea, resulting in a signature sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Drawing inspiration from other artists such as Nujabes, Uyama Hiroto, Apollo Brown, Shlohmo, Emancipator, and more, Nogymx has found his own corner in the ever-evolving landscape of the instrumental music scene.

With an ability to weave intricate beats, lush electronic textures, and a touch of nostalgia, the 30-something’s unique blend of sounds has earned him collaborations with some of the biggest labels and fellow artists in the genre. Supported by many of the giants in the genre such as Lofi Girl, Chill Beats, Stereofox, Hip Dozer, The Jazz Hop Cafe, and more, as well as finding success with his independent releases, the Irishman has racked up over 80 million streams across all platforms and has been featured in over 200k user playlists on Spotify alone.

Nubya Garcia isn’t an artist you can easily classify. Is it jazz? Sure, the London-born saxophonist, composer and bandleader grew up studying the genre under the noted pianist Nikki Yeoh at Camden Music. But it isn’t until you listen to albums like 2020’s Source and 2024’s Odyssey that you hear broader creativity shining through: It’s jazz, classical, dub, R&B and whatever else Garcia wants to convey. It all comes from a place of exploration and self-study, of wanting to do all the things across all disciplines while ignoring arbitrary boxes that don’t fit.

In 2022, Garcia toured the US in support of Khruangbin, performing in sold-out venues including Radio City Music Hall in New York, the Ryman in Nashville and the Met in Philadelphia. She then headlined her own tour in the UK and US, performing at various festivals including Glastonbury, Love Supreme, Pickathon and Newport Jazz.
