Death Disco: Looking Forward

South London's Peter O'Grady says that he owes his current guise as one of the most talked about new producers in the country to his uncle. After being introduced to garage and jungle records by him as a young pup, Peter began DJing at the age of thirteen before creating his own music under the name Joy Orbison on Fruity Loops software. His single 'Hyph Mngo' is still unreleased in spite of being one of the underground hits of 2009, but is due to come out on his own label, Doldrums, later this year.

If Gold Panda's current output of short, sweet and perfectly formed songs comprised of tiny clicks and looping samples remind you of Four Tet, you're clearly not the only one. London's Fabric have booked O'Grady to play on the same bill as the man himself, Floating Points and James Holden later this month. What's guaranteed are tightly edited songs that always seem just a little too short and leave you wanting more; highly recommended.

Hailing from London, Starsmith already has a an extensive roster of remixes under his belt, spanning the likes of Digitalism, Little Boots, Lady Gaga, Passion Pit and Animal Kingdom. Thanks to the recent success of his mentor Frankmusik, Starsmith has been able to ride on his coattails somewhat by becoming his tour DJ. Don't dismiss this as nepotism though, Starsmith has proven his ability to take over-played chart fillers and give them a new lease of life with his synth defibrillators.

Kitsune darlings of the hour are currently Two Door Cinema Club, a three piece electro-pop group from Bangor and Donaghade. They've been compared to Death Cab for Cutie and Broken Social Scene, with the trio currently on an extensive tour taking them across the U.K. to Vienna, Rome, Milan, Turin and Paris. They play Glasgow on 14 March at King Tuts for anyone wanting to experience their melodic vocals live.

Finally, Fenech-Soler are purveyors of a warm synth and bass guitar sound which manages to sound extremely polished and well-produced in spite of the fact that the group remain unsigned. However, after appearing at the In The City festival in Manchester back in October some areas of the music press were alive with chatter that they were the best act there, with the Guardian going all NME on us and gushing that "if they're not huge stars by next year, we'll eat our hat". High praise indeed.
