Ikon

Ikon is the brainchild of longtime London-based collaborators Alex Rizzo, Elliott Ireland, and Trevor Mac, but also includes a large and diverse group of friends, musicians, and singers from all over the globe. The wide range of contributors helps give the music a lush and cinematic sound that is highly imaginative. It is not uncommon to hear elements of electronica, downtempo, drum and bass, and bossa nova all contained within the same song, each style flowing seamlessly into the next to create music that is original and uplifting.

Red Snapper

Acid jazz pioneers Red Snapper formed in 1993 and were some of the first to combine acoustic and electronic instruments to create a sound that effectively blends elements of dub, punk, funk, electro, and hip-hop.  Their smooth, sophisticated style has won them both critical and commercial praise, and they have earned a reputation as the premier live electronic act in the UK, sharing the stage with Bjork, Massive Attack, and The Fugees, among others.

Skeewiff

Londoners Elliot Ireland and Alex Rizzo are better known as Skeewiff, the “lounge-hop” act that mixes breakbeat and lounge music to create a modern-yet-retro style that is urbane, classy, and ideal for martini drinking.  Their sound has been compared to the likes of Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse, in that they share their roots in Northern Soul and classic R&B, while giving a freshness to the music that is distinctively modern.
