GB is a Danish musician, songwriter and producer currently based in London. On his debut ‘Gusse Music’ (Posh Isolation, 2024), he created a symphonic collage of guitar‑driven torch songs, warped strings and ambient interludes. Subsequent output has further expanded his craft as a songwriter, from the warped sunshine of double-EP ‘Ressed / Falter’ (Untitled, 2025) to the cut-up miniatures of ‘Hollis’.
Lisa Elde is an avant-soul singer-songwriter and movement artist based in London, UK. Her eclectic sound and dynamic movement capture the colourful and unapologetic expression of her nature. Influenced by humanity and culture, her work explores the questions of mind and spirit. Elde explores experimental vocalisations, elements of jazz and uses of unique harmonies and composition in her songwriting, influenced by contemporary jazz artists like Robert Glasper, Thelonious Monk, and electronic, indie, trip hop and avant-pop production such as Massive Attack, Seal and Kate Bush. Lisa Elde has collaborated with neo soul and experimental bands, performed poetry and dance with artists such as Celeste and FKA Twigs and performed in venues such as Westminster Central Hall, supported emerging artists at Jazz Cafe, the Vortex Jazz Club, Ronnie Scotts, Tate Modern. Her versatile expression has made her a muse for fashion spaces, collaborating, featuring and performing for brands and magazines such as Anciela, Maximilian Raynor, Hero magazine, Sleek magazine and Luncheon.
