JACK TIRAQUON is the new (old) moniker for producerJack Hamill, previously known as Space Dimension Controller. Breaking through as a teenager and signed to R&S Records as part of the label's new generation of acts, two decades later Hamill presents his latest album under the new moniker, Jack Tiraquon. Released via his own label, Tiraquon Recordings, The World Overhead is the sound of Hamill removing the Space Dimension Controller guise and concluding the space-themed concept to move forward into the unknown as the cinematic hardware musician he's always been.

MONSIEUR POMPIER'S TRAVELLING FREAKSHOW is a five-piece band and theatrical spectacle blending surreal cabaret with chaotic art rock. With songs about bog witches, ear fairies and inside-out cats, their live shows erupt into a fever dream of bizarre costumed creatures and warped storytelling. Their debut album Teatime Terrors was released on Cleopatra Records in 2021, with a second due in late 2025. After years haunting Europe’s fringe and punk scenes, they became festival favourites in their native Ireland. In 2025, Monsieur Pompier took things further with the opening of his Museum of Curiosities in Dublin, a permanent home for the wonderfully strange.

A CLATTER AND DRONE Strongly inspired by the contemporary Irish folk/trad revival, A Clatter and Drone also draws muse from psychedelic rock and electronica. The group’s music and lyrical content is heavily influenced by psychology and philosophy, touching on predominant themes of the human condition.

BLACK CORAL is the solo performance moniker for Cian "Moose" Megannety. Exploring the worlds of drone and psychedelic noise. Expect synths, oscillators, bases, guitars and random homemade bits.
