    It was great to finally catch up with Julie Hough, from Havvk on The London Ear. Havvk are now a Berlin based band but started life in London, although the band are originally from Ireland.

    We had a number of things to chat about on the show, the band’s new single ‘Always The Same’, their album announcement which will be called ‘Cause and Effect’ and will be released in two parts in 2019.

    We also had a chance to chat about how Havvk have set up Veta Records and are working with other artists including the excellent Maria Kelly and Dyver.

    Julie is also the cofounder of Self Made, a platform to explore DIY music through performance, discussion, and art, with a strong focus on women in music.   They are running a number of events. Do keep an eye out, the support a group like this can provide is simply amazing. You can read their mission statement in full here.

    You can find out more about Havvk on their website, Facebook and Twitter.

    The London Ear on RTÉ 2XM // Show 223 with Hypnotyst

    On this week’s episode of The London Ear, I had the pleasure of catching up with Cardiff based Cork man, Hypnotyst, to find out about his new EP, “Lose Control’. His brand of electronic music is so uplifting, it will get your grandma out of her rocking chair to have a boogie.

    I love Hypnotyst’s ethos, being conscious of the world around you, being thankful for it, taking an hour every day to go embrace nature and also how this enables him to leave his mobile phone behind and along with it, all the stress. All very zen.

    I really enjoyed our chat and it was lovely to hear how this life outlook has crept into Hypnotyst’s music giving it an optimistic, upbeat, positivity.

    You can find out more on his website, Facebook and Twitter.
