Since hitting the scene in March last year with the release of his mixtape debut ‘House of Balloons’, Canadian producer and recording artist The Weeknd has been causing a stir, leading the charge in an idiosyncratic new cut of R&B.

British singer-songwriter Delilah is one of the hottest new names in UK Music. Her first EP ‘GO’ was released in September last year, spawning the track of the same name, which was described by Chaka Khan as ‘genius’. Trinidad-born, Brooklyn-based Theophilus London is one of the new breeds of rapper, a series of hyped up mixtapes followed by a well-received EP have earned him widespread buzz and a spot on the Barclaycard Wireless Festival bill.
