SHOWCASE DETAILS
Becky Sikasa is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and producer who blends neo-soul and alternative R&B into rich, introspective soundscapes.

Becky has toured with Nile Rodgers, supported Joy Crookes and Crane Wives amongst others and was recently named BBC Introducing’s Scottish Artist Of The Year 2025.

SHOWCASE DETAILS
Blair Davie is a singer-songwriter from Perth, Scotland, whose journey began at just 12 years old when they recorded their first record. After fronting several bands, Blair found their voice as a solo artist, shaping a sound rooted in emotional honesty and vulnerability. Their new EP, First and Last, is testament to Davie’s prodigious talent both as a vocalist and songwriter. Inspired largely by a long-term relationship, it is a startlingly intimate portrait of the kind of love Davie never expected to find.

KuleeAngee, formed by Duncan Grant and Keshav Kanabar, blends guitar-driven melodies with acid house influences, aiming to get people moving in clubs and on festival stages. The Scottish duo's rich musical backgrounds and experience in various projects help shape their sound. They generated significant interest earlier in 2025 with a demo titled Television, which unexpectedly racked up over 60,000 streams on Soundcloud due to a mix-up. Kesh mistakenly sent a link to Duncan without setting it private and the music instantly attracted attention.
