They told the world "You can dance if you want to" 30 years ago - and we did. A few years later they instructed that same planet "to go Pop" - and we did! MEN WITHOUT HATS have been creating iconic and irresistible pop music for three decades and have soared back with the release of their latest album, "Love In The Age Of War", produced by Dave "Rave" Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Marilyn Manson). Led by charismatic front man, lead singer and songwriter Ivan Dorschuk, MWH has surged back starting with a breakout show at 2011's SXSW and followed by extensive, well-received touring across North America over the last year. Along with keyboard player Lou Dawson and guitarist James Love, Doroschuk and the Hats have been delivering high energy shows packed with all of the band's absurdly catchy lyrics as well as great tracks from the new release, a disc that picks up where the hit making band left off.

It’s all about you! Is there a better compliment for a special person? Or from a band to its audience? Probably not. Especially not when it comes rousing, catchy and really rocking like the Dutch pop shooting-stars A SILENT EXPRESS. With 'All About You', the quartet releases its first single out off the Major debut album in spring, 'This is how we got'. The band was founded in 2004 and already has a wide fan base in its home land, the Netherlands. In 2011, they released its Indie debut 'Now'. They were touring a lot in the Netherlands, where they also were opening for KANE, pleying in front of 15,000 people. Last year, the band was invited by DURAN DURAN to open their German shows. Now, they are delivering their Major debut with 'All ABout You', bearing some 80s influences as well as modern dance pop with e decent rock influence.

Mechatronic was formed 2002 in the city of Uppsala, Sweden. The members are Wilhelm Äretun (singing and programming) and Emma Hortlund (lyrics and synthesizers). In that time they’ve gone from strength to strength, becoming bolder with their songwriting and not being afraid to mix things around a bit. Together they make music in the Synthpop/Futurepop vein, with a mixture of danceable beats and sharp melodies. There are no superfluous sound effects. The recordings sound very naturally, full of fine atmospheres and gentle melodies. Mechatronic have had irregular live performances around Sweden since the start and are always giving more than 100% on stage.
