During its career, from 1991 to 2000, the band released several iconic hits, like: Wonderwall”, “Supersonic” or “Don’t look back in anger”, music pieces which headed for tens of days the music charts from various countries and received an impressive number of nominations and awards coming from BRIT, MTV, Grammy or New Musical Express. After the bands breakup, Liam established Beady Eye, a band active until 2014 and announced the release of his solo debut single „Wall of Glass” (2017) and his second solo single „Chinatown” (2017), both greeted with positive reactions and followed by performances at some of the most important international festivals, like: Rock am Ring, Pinkpop Festival, Exit festival or Lollapalooza Festival (USA).

The material was described as an album where the profound and meaningful lyrics meet the unique voice of Liam thus creating an astonishing effect and proving that the former Oasis half remains as inspired and talented as always.

Disclosure, one of the revelations of the international electronic scene, are a well-known English electronic music duo, founded in 2010 by Lawrence brothers (Guy and Howard). The brothers started de-constructing and copying the music that Guy had heard at gigs in a room above their father's auction house and then making music in the same room in a style they refer to as „electronic house music with a pop structure”, uploading it to Myspace. This got them an early record deal and a UK tour, mixing live music gigs with occasional DJ sets. Disclosure picked up their first significant national radio support upon the release of the „Tenderly”/ „Flow” single in 2012 and maintained momentum in 2013, as they were voted into the BBC Radio 1xtra „Hot Ten For 2013” and scored two consecutive top 10 hit singles in „White Noise” (no. two) and „You & Me” (no. 10).
Their debut album, „Settle”, which hit the markets in 2013 was met with commercial and critical success, debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart, charting in many countries across Europe and Australia, and receiving four stars from The Guardian and a 9.1 score on Pitchfork. Also, it was nominated as the best Dance/ Electronic album at Grammy Awards in 2014, thus becoming one of the most successful debuts of the music English scene. This success was closely followed by another one: their second material, „Caracal”, release in 2015 was nominated as well as the best Dance/ Electronic album at the 2016 Grammy Awards. These achievements ensured a fast pace ascent for Disclosure, thus becoming one of the most asked for bands from the music industry.

Underworld, the British duo Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, have been one of the most pioneering and influential electronic acts in the world for more than twenty years. In that time, their music has transcended club dancefloors and provided soundtracks to everything from iconic movies (Trainspotting) to the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games (for which they were handpicked as musical directors).
Rick and Karl met in Cardiff in the early ’80s and spent the following decade working together in a succession of bands with varying levels of success. After a brace of singles released under the name „Lemon Interrupt”, the reinvigorated Underworld released „Mmm Skyscraper… I Love You” - a thirteen-minute blueprint for their future. Sounding unlike any other electronic record of that era (or since), the 1992 single fitted Karl’s hallucinogenic monologue to a rolling, relentless rhythm track. The dynamic may have been that of a band; the execution was something far more otherworldly. The album that followed – 1994’s hugely acclaimed „dubnobasswithmyheadman” built a formidable live reputation for Underworld.
Released early in 1996, Underworld’s second album, „Second Toughest In The Infants”, saw the band push further into the unknown to create what is unarguably one of the UK’s greatest electronic records – an utterly unique eight track sonic journey through techno, drum’n’bass, minimalist composition and ambient music. Upon release, the media elevated the band to something close to national treasure status („A British band to rank alongside Pet Shop Boys, New Order… hell, Pink Floyd. If all acid house had ever left us was this, it would surely be justification enough” The Face).

Being greeted with enthusiasm by both critics and fans, the album was described as „thrilling from beginning to end” and „quintessentially British, without pretension and most importantly, a whole lot of fun” and reached number two on the UK albums chart being certified five times platinum. Since its establishment, the band has been continuously exploring new musical horizons and paths of forms of artistic expression. From indie rock, Kaiser Chiefs, passed to electro-pop, „Parachute” being the song which marked this passage, followed by „Stay Together”. Since their start, the band brought to life over 30 singles, among which the well-known hit „Ruby” (2007) and went on the stage of some of the largest stadium concerts and international music festivals, like: Hurricane Festival, Southside Festival, Rock Werchter, Pinkpop Festival or Terres Rouges Festival just to name a few of them.
