Dr Meaker

Dr Meaker is Clive Meaker, 28. 17/01/1980. shoe size: 8 and a half. Bristol’s very own Mark Ronson uses soul, jazz and reggae influences to produce the Meaker sound. A sound of sublime vocals and ruff-cut bass licks that feels as at home on commercial radio, as it does at underground clubs. Dr Meaker's debut album 'A Lesson From The Speaker' has been 3 years in the making and features collaborations with vocalist Yolanda Quartey who's currently cutting records with Massive Attack. Meaker’s master blending sees him sampling The Korgis Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime on the track Need Love.

The Westfield Mining Disaster

Operating from Westfield (as you might expect) just south of Bristol, The Westfield Mining Disaster were put together in 2006 by songwriter Paul Towler whose previous band The Haywains were veterans of the 'indie-pop' scene in the late 80's to early 90's and produced a lengthy back catalogue of records for labels such as Vinyl Japan, Elefant Records and Waaaaah! The Westfield Mining Disaster aim to bring a fresh twist to the traditional indie-pop blueprint by adding influences such as alt-country and dark, brooding lyrics.
