Switches
Hot off their US tour with The Bravery, Switches aren’t slowing down for a second, in fact they are going full force into SXSW playing a host of cool parties including Filter, Spin and NME and due to popular demand there are a slew of new tour dates announced. The lads will be making stops before and after SXSW in support of the impending release of their highly anticipated US debut “Lay Down the Law” coming out on March 18, 2008 on Interscope Records.

Morcheeba
Having sold 6 million albums, toured the world over and produced some of the most moving and instantly recognizable tunes throughout the nineties and “noughties”, Morcheeba are about to make a massive return with their new album "Dive Deep", that is considered by the founding members as an “emotional blueprint”which has restored their faith in music. Morcheeba will be doing nationwide US tour in support of the recent release of “Dive Deep” out on February 26, 2008 on Ultra Records.

Calvin Harris
Calvin Harris invented disco. No, Calvin Harris reinvented disco. “My 
tunes aren't supposed to invoke deep thought within people; they're just to get you dancing. But musically it is for
 the brain - it's not music for stupid people. I take great pride in my productions.” In the past year Calvin has seen the US release of his bonafied smash hit album “I Created Disco”, produced tracks for none other than Kylie Minogue, played countless shows and will be bringing the party back stateside with a handful of dates including stops at WMC and Coachella.

The Black Ghosts
The Black Ghosts’ ethereal Electronic Soul building them a formidable reputation with the quiet confidence that befits the duo’s enigmatic style. With the cold, steely riffs and floor-smashing beats of the much admired Theo Keating AKA Touché, ably augmented by erstwhile Simian vocalist Simon Lord, The Black Ghosts’ have revealed their unique, electro-noir spirit through the release of their EP “Any Way You Choose to Give It” currently out on IAMSOUND and are doing a danceloor-packin’ west coast tour with stops at SXSW preparing for the release of the debut album “The Black Ghosts” out this summer.
