LISN MUSIC 07 ROHIT INSPIRE (JULIAN JAOUEN REMIX)


Whiskey And The Wilsons are an experimental rock band. They write, arrange and produce their own music with engineer Ben Baptie. Their artwork is produced by the band’s pianist/organist Joe Wilson. “Really we’re just stopping ourselves from getting bored,” say the band. “When you start making something, a song or whatever, you’re paralysed by possibility…. when you start defining what it isn’t, you get closer to


Rohit combines contemporary and new­age grooves with a backdrop of lush ambient sounds, fused with rich melodies. Working within a range of styles


his tracks are meditative and dreamy. “Everything from Bach to BT, Chopin to Chicane and of course traditional Indian music inspires me every day,” he says. “I believe that music is proof of man’s spiritual nature and sounds at the very core of existence.” Contact: Andy Thomson / andy@lisnmusic.com


Giraffage [Jer­Raff­Edge] is the creation of 21­year­old multi­instrumentalist/ producer Charlie Yin of San Francisco. Giraffage has been described as crisp schizophrenic dream­ pop tunes that thread their way through loose­knit grooves and hip­hop beats – or as this month’s Mixmag UK feature proclaims “thoughtful music that lets you drift away”. Seamlessly blending looped guitars, pop cans and 808 machinery into a cohesive summer vibe, Yin’s sounds immediately caught the ears of the blogosphere and the first official single will be released by tastemaker label


Kitsuné next month. Contact: Rene Renner / rene.renner@metropolis­group.co.uk

Solid Ground (Too Much Worth Living For) is a subtly orchestrated, vivacious ballad that surges with colour and positive energy from dance­music maestros Nick Littlemore (Empire Of The Sun) and Pete Mayes, who as PNAU have grown to become one of Australia’s most loved electronic acts. This supercharged anthem stands as the perfect introduction to the big, ambitious and elevating sound they are now taking worldwide. Contact: Verity Griffiths / vgriffiths@ministryofsound.com
