Jack Penate's head is full of incredible songs and plays some of the most effervescent guitar pop since the Housemartins. His new album takes in an amalgamation of influences ranging from gospel to reggaeton to Balearic, but still offers up the most golden of pop nuggets.

This combined with the Fridge’s legendary sound system, will prove Jack’s deserved reputation for breathless live shows.

THEOPHILUS LONDON is a rapper, songwriter and producer from Brooklyn. Fader magazine places him at the center of the borough's new urban pop movement, while UK music weekly NME goes in a bit further: "...his patter is sumptuous, his look untouchable, his soundscapes plucked from mythical ghetto neverlands...he's the real deal." His first mixtape JAM! was a buzzy DIY effort that tipped off early adopters in the underground, but it was the independent release of This Charming Mixtape via his brand The Lovers in early 2009 that introduced London's voracious pop appetite and minted him as an artist to watch beyond mere hype. Gliding effortlessly from clubby original productions to 90s rave throwbacks, afropop electrojams, Kraftwerk samples, a backbreaking bass refix of a Whitney Houston torch song—all of it stitched together with London's breathy, unpredictable flow—This Charming Mixtape's wildfire appeal soon saw London igniting clubs in Europe and America with stunning live performances. It's possible this is the arrival of a once-in-a-generation talent: Theophilus London is very much in this moment but not of it. He is currently at work on his debut album.
