AlunaGeorge
This London based duo have been hot property since the release of their single ‘Your Drums, Your Love’, landing themselves a Critics Choice nomination for the 2013 BRIT Awards as well as plenty of buzz around their debut EP ‘Body Music’. The pair has recently released a new single from the record, ‘Bad Idea’, which sums up the quirky yet silky smooth AlunaGeorge sound we know and love. You can read our recent chat with AlunaGeorge here.

Laura Jones
It may have been a trip to Ibiza in 2005 for this fast rising DJ/ producer to realise where her true passions were, but all the more lucky for us. The marketing graduate soon began juggling DJ lessons with full time work and it wasn’t long before she had snagged herself support slots for the likes of Seth Troxler and single ‘Love In Me’ was unleashed and remixed by Maceo Plex and Eats Everything to name a few. Jones has released material through Crosstown Rebels and Visionquest, as well as her well-received Leftroom Presents compilation.

Azealia Banks
The woman who has a Twitter account and isn’t afraid to use it (the latest target of her ire being Lily Allen), Azaelia Banks is not the kind of gal to sit tight and look pretty. After the release of expletive ridden mega hit ‘212’, Banks has joined festival lineups around the world. She has recently collaborated with fellow Listen Out headliners Disclosure (read the hilarious ‘did they or didn’t they’ Twitter misunderstanding here) and debuted her new track ‘ATM Jam’ ft. Pharrell Williams at Glastonbury which you can hear in full below.

Rufus
You may have heard whispers of an indie-dance outfit called Rufus coming up the ranks; in just over a year, this Sydney based trio have become one of the most requested artists on Triple J not to mention selling out shows all over the place.Their single ‘Desert Night’, the second release from their upcoming debut LP ‘Atlas’ has only quickened the ascent to the top for this hyper talented three piece. Singles ‘We Left’ and ‘Take Me’ only add to the deafening hype.

Miguel Campbell
Head of Outcross Records label Miguel Campbell launched himself as a major player in dance music circles after the release of classic ‘Something Special’ on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’s Hot Creations imprint. It’s only been a steady rise from there and his debut LP ‘Back In Flight’, released in 2012 turned heads everywhere. The Leeds based producer began his own label, Outcross back in 2006 and in the time he isn’t busy crafting hit after hit for Hot Creations, Campbell also releases material under his MAM alter ego. Campbell also put together a podcast for us at Pulse not too long ago, which you can listen to here

Just Blaze
Just Blaze needs no introduction for those who appreciate a good hip hop beat. Having produced records and tracks for the likes of Jay Z, Eminem and hip hop royalty KRS One, his recent credits include working with precocious talent Kendrick Lamar as well as having recently released single ‘Higher’, a collaboration with Baauer (who is behind the tune ‘Harlem Shake’, you might have heard of it) that certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Touch Sensitive
The solo project of Van She’s Michael Di Francesco, Touch Sensitive first made waves with 2004’s single ‘Body Stop’ that fast became an underground classic. Collaborations with Anna Lunoe followed and the pair released single ‘Real Talk’ in 2012. It’s the release of painfully clever EP ‘Show Me The Pizza Guy’ however, that has had the buzz around Touch Sensitive turned up to 11 after LA dudes and fellow Listen Out billers Classixx’s previewed it in their mix for The Fader. Check out the clip for 'Pizza Guy', where Touch Sensitive delivers vinyl to some familiar faces.
