Bestival was originally a music festival put on in the UK. As with any stereotype given to a certain location, rain is a common element associated with the Brits. As Bestival arrived on Toronto Island, the weather wasn’t unlike a typical day in London. Huge grey clouds overtook the sky and haunted the first day of the fest.

Keeping it fairly under the radar, pop superstar Banks shows off her talent through her voice. The blazing set of pipes are her crowning glory. Banks’ style is often described as underground R&B with her voice being compared to Aaliyah. By being covered by high profile media outlets like MTV and BBC Radio 1, Banks has slowly been climbing the social ladder to stardom.
BBC Radio 1 is home to many diverse musicians. From time to time, it allows experimental artists to place a temporary residence as the host of the radio show. Four artists in particular have become largely involved in the British music scene and have each defined themselves through their innovative styles.
Katy B made a sleek and twisted debut last year’s On a Mission, whipping up off-centered urban-dance-pop. “Katy on a Mission,” “Lights On,” and “Witches Brew” were all evidence of Katy’s talent. Now, Katy B has offered her listeners a little Christmas treat: 4 new tracks with a damn impressive line-up of collaborators.
For those of you still obsessed with SBTRKT after his mesmerizing self-titled debut album, a new production team has come to further solidify this post-dubstep electronic genre. Disclosure continues this moody atmosphere of dark electronic music with inescapable hooks. The young UK duo have already garnered much attention thanks to their hit dance track “Latch,” which features Sam Smith, which has now peaked at number 11 on the UK chart.
