London on da Track

Making waves by collaborating with artists such as 2 Chainz, Young Thug, and Drake, London on Da Track (real name London Holmes) is an American hip-hop producer and rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. Holmes’ foray into the world of rap and hip-hop began at the age of 16 when he joined a rap crew called Dem Guyz and developed his writing and composition skills by playing piano at his local church. Creating his own beats, he began putting together tracks for other rappers on the scene, including “Pieon” by rap group Rich Kidz. 2011 saw the release of his first track with Young Thug entitled “Curtains”; the first of many collaborations with the fellow Georgian rapper. London’s prolific output of material continued throughout 2012 and 2013, as he worked with the likes of Waka Flocka Flame, Gucci Mane, and Rich Homie Quan before signing a deal with Cash Money Records. He swiftly went on to earn production and writing credits on releases from prominent artists such as Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and Drake. 2017 saw London on Da Track put together his own label, L.I.V. (an abbreviation of “living in volumes”) while his debut release as a solo artist, Who Would’ve Known, saw release later that year.

Jackal

Jackal is a figure like no other in electronic music. He consistently refuses any boundaries given to him — whether they be the confines of the dreary English seaside town he grew up in or the barriers between musical genres. Considering his singular work ethic, it was only to be a matter of time before he broke through into popular consciousness, which he did in 2013 with “Shakedown”. The track was an immediate hit with its low BPM blend of heavy hip-hop bass and dancehall vocals, topped off with immaculate production. “Shakedown” was the start of a journey that lead to Jackal moving out to LA and releasing tracks on labels like Mad Decent, OWSLA and Buygore.

Jackal, aka Mikey Pennington, creates his stunning floor-fillers out of his deep love for a wide range of musical genres. Alongside his clear influences from dubstep, hip-hop and electro-house sit everything from UK grime and garage to house and heavy metal. A typical Jackal show will make these genre distinctions seem redundant, fusing them all into his bass-driven sound.

Jackal is currently riding high off the back of a huge 2016. Highlights of last year included: international tours (China, India, Australia); huge new singles (“Netflix N Kill”, “Anonymous” and “Ice”); a mix for “Diplo and Friends” and “Animal Style” appearing in Broad City.

For 2017, Jackal is planning his biggest year yet. His upcoming EP, “Endorphins”, will take Jackal to yet greater heights. He aims his first cohesive project to present us with a fresh new direction while still giving us the artist we know and love. On top of this, he will be supporting the EP with a globetrotting world tour.
