Patawawa

Straight out of quiet Derbyshire town of Matlock comes DIY disco/pop outfit Patawawa. Since releasing their debut in 2015 the trio of Sam Wilmot, Rory Lovatt and Beth Garrett have fast made a name for themselves with their blend of blood-pumping beats, glittered guitar riffs, sparkling synths and bass lines that bite that have seen them tipped by some of the most influential music media around. Hailed by the NME as sounding like "if Calvin Harris time-travelled back in time to Studio 54" with "hints of early Foals and Two Door Cinema Club", by the Guardian as cooly radiating the sound of "peak-period Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards or early Madonna" and The Line of Best Fit as being "reminiscent of Greco Roman vagrant Roosevelt and keyboard pioneer George Duke" the band have already scored a huge international hit with their collaboration with French producer Ted Cazey clocking up more than 4 million plays on Spotify alone and topping the Hype Machine charts with their single 'Patagonia'. A succession of singles for labels such as Soundplate and new French imprint Splinter in 2017 saw the band cement their position as one of the most exciting new acts around earning support from the likes of BBC 6 Music and leading to the release of their debut EP, 'Bedroom', titled for the humble space where they write and record their songs, in early 2018.
