RAYE - I Know You're Hurting (Live at Lowlands 2025)

Solomun Sets Sights on London for Alexandra Palace debut

On February 7, Solomun is set to take over the historic Great Hall of Alexandra Palace, adding one of London’s most esteemed concert spaces to his growing list of extraordinary venues. Following a spectacular sold-out 5-hour set at Old Royal Naval College, and showstopping performances this year at Château de Chantilly, the Royal Palace of Belgium, Théâtre Antique d’Orange, and his cinematic appearance at The Sphere in Las Vegas, the night reinforces a growing pattern. Even at the very top of the industry, Solomun continues to raise the bar, redefining what a DJ performance can be on the world’s most iconic stages. Tickets for Solomun at Alexandra Palace are on pre-sale September 4th, 10AM BST, visit the official website for more information.


For Solomun, the choice of venue is never incidental. London’s Alexandra Palace is not only a Victorian landmark, but has more recently been dubbed a venue synonymous with milestone electronic shows. From Four Tet’s 2019 double-header that led to his celebrated live album, to Jamie xx’s sweeping 2024 appearance that led fans on a two-and-a-half-hour journey through his catalogue, Alexandra Palace's stage has become a zenith for the industry's top acts. Diehard fans may recognize this as a full-circle moment, as just months ago Solomun unveiled two remixes of Jamie xx’s “Waited All Night.” Now, set to take the very same stage, Solomun is poised to show yet again why he’s regarded as one of electronic music’s most respected storytellers.


The announcement comes amidst another standout season of Solomun +1 at Pacha Ibiza, where his blend of carefully curated talent and all-night burners has become one of the island's defining summer experiences. Solomun's stamp extends far beyond The White Isle however, as his September brims with additional dates in Madrid, Barcelona, Istanbul, Athens, and Milan. With Ibiza still roaring and a full slate of tour dates on the horizon, Solomun’s momentum only continues to grow. It all points towards Alexandra Palace on February 7, where the multi-genre talents of Solomun come together for one monumental showcase. Tickets are available on pre-sale September 4th at 10am BST, with sign up open now via the official website.

BINO BAMES UNVEILS NEW SINGLE 'NOTHING'S REAL' ANNOUNCES DEBUT EP 'GATHERS NO MOSS'

 


LONDON UK, 3rd September 2025: Every so often an artist arrives with the rare ability to reinvent the familiar in a captivating brand new way. At just 20 years old, Bino Bames, a boundary-pushing multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and creative force raised in the neon shadows of the Vegas Strip, continues to carve out his own lane in the UK as he announces his new single, 'Nothing’s Real' (out September 3rd), and his debut EP 'Gathers No Moss' (out October 29th).






 
Bino's new single 'Nothing's Real' fuses neon-lit 2000s indie guitars with Joy Division's brooding atmospherics, alongside digitally warped vocals that transform his indie/post-punk influences into something strikingly original.
 
The single continues to showcase the depth of his songwriting and perfectly captures the emotions rooted in the complexities of honesty within relationships. On the single, Bino shares: 'I get annoyed when someone is not honest with what they want or need and they show their dissatisfaction in different ways or don’t show it at all. It ends up ruining things in the long run, especially in romantic relationships. I'm guilty of doing that as well. Sometimes it's hard to find the courage to be honest about how you feel even when it's for the best.'







 
Following a run of summer shows and festival appearances, and the release of his debut singles 'Cocktail Princess' and follow-up 'Isolated'Bino Bames has earned tastemaker support from Clash, DIY, Wonderland, and The Line of Best Fit to name a few.
 
'Nothing's Real' is the latest glimpse into Bino's world. His debut EP 'Gathers No Moss' stands as his first body of work, pulling together threads of outsider indie and lo-fi experimentation into a bold opening statement from an artist who refuses to play by the rules.
 







Bino's vision extends far beyond music. A true DIY polymath, he plays keys, drums, guitar and bass, produces his own demos, designs his artwork, directs his videos, and curates a distinct visual identity inspired as much by Andy Warhol and Spike Jonze as by his musical heroes Daniel Johnston, Elliott Smith, and Mac Miller. His growing fashion presence, with prominent appearances at Paris, Milan, and London Fashion Weeks, only underscores his status as a creative force cutting across music, art, and style.
 
Leaving home at 15, Bino escaped what he describes as 'a place that was going to swallow me whole.' What followed was a nomadic existence as he drifted through New York, LA, and Portland, existing on borrowed couches and borrowed time. Every late-night conversation, every underground show, every rain-slicked alleyway shaped his upcoming EP before he even realised it.
