Mission Jupiter is a band from Belarus (Minsk). They were formed in 2015. The history of band’s forming is remarkable. Initially, the future project was organized as a musical experiment. And when the project was created, no one thought that the activity of the band would become something significant and compositionally mature.
The curious fact is that all members of Mission Jupiter band have quite different musical preferences. This fact made them write music that would go beyond the ordinary view and preferences of each musician. Musical liberalism is the main aim and source of inspiration for the band.
Musicians are huge fans of science fiction and space, which is a source of inspiration for them, as well as the main factor that determines Mission Jupiter’s musical style. The guys call their listeners for self-realization, creative success and atmospheric mood. The band’s style can be described as Alternative-Dream Rock.

Only Takes A Day – Reach
Written by vocalist Shaanvir Rehal, ‘Reach’ is a conscious and dynamic display of lyricism that sidesteps the braggadocio of commercial hip-hop to arrive at something both honest and infectious. Injecting hip hop beats with a masterly display of finicky acoustic work, Shaan’s track was the spark that got percussionist Fabien Waldheim involved in the project, and together the duo explore the bleakness and banality of pop culture with a song that’s life-affirming and touchingly relatable. ‘Reach’ explores the many contradictions in the modern condition: rampant materialism is a source of anxiety to many, but the promise of a more comfortable life through it is something we all, to some extent, strive towards.
Unashamedly proud of his nerdiness, Shaan lyrically cuts something of a Gambino-esque figure, though possessed with a probing curiosity that penetrates further and lashes harder than his american peers. ‘Reach’ is a positive message. It tells us listeners that we are not alone in our thoughts, and that through expression we can find a connection with each other and the world around us that transcends our angst.
Influenced by a wide range of music from Bob Dylan to J Dilla, Only Takes A Day combines spoken word influenced rap lyrics and sung hooks with live instrumentation. Having formed at a house party jam in the summer of 2014, vocalist and guitarist Shaanvir Rehal and percussionist Fabien Waldheim cut a separate path to the americanised rap that’s homogenising commercial music right now. Their approach is uniquely their own, with Shaanvir’s lyrics often feeling like forays into his own head, while Fabien’s beats take the place of traditional sampling to provide an organic dynamism that can’t be achieved through machines.
With only one song in their repertoire back in September, the duo has expanded their setlist and their live presence in London’s music scene, headlining shows across the capital. Over the last couple of years, they’ve travelled across the UK to perform at festivals nationwide including Glastonbury, Wonderfields, Hazy Days, Subsonic and Homeless not Hopeless. Their artistic integrity remains their biggest draw, and in doing whatever they want they’ve ended up striking a chord resonant with the people they play for. Their endearing authenticity and classic musicianship feels almost radical in today’s Soundcloud rap climate, and as their art continues to expand, so too will their influence. It may not have taken a day, but rest assured their day will come.

Joe Settineri – Hello Goodbye
American Singer/Song-writer Joe Settineri has released the official music video for his impassioned pop single “Hello Goodbye.” “Hello Goodbye” was written in collaboration with platinum Nashville-based producer Mike Krompass (Smash Mouth, Nellie Furtado).
“Love lost, regret, and the power of saying, “goodbye.” Moving on, though is rarely that simple. Our love lives are tangles of good and bad – pushing and pulling – never wanting to let go, yet, needing to break free. Searching for that elusive feeling of ‘true’ happiness. Did we give up too soon? Will we ever know? Why can’t we forget? Does clarity ever present itself? This song emotively asks these questions and explores the purposeful intention to move on and the confusing, often conflicting emotions that come with it. I said goodbye, but why can’t I forget?” Searching for clarity — finding a new path – is never easy.”
– Joe Settineri“Clarity is never an easy path when it comes to this emotion called love, however, what Joe Settineri brings is his ardent musical talents as he carries his lyrics of rich passion simply and understandably. Joe’s vocals and the embracing notes from his piano show his arrival time is welcomed in the world of pop music while the video imagery is the perfect compliment to the heart of “Hello Goodbye.” Simply put, Joe Settineri’s music delivers the power to believe in love again.”
– Paste Magazine“… American singer-songwriter Joe Settineri has a habit of writing love songs, but just listen to his music and you’ll understand why … and understand the power of Joe Settineri.”
Originally from the mid-west, Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Joe Settineri was a late bloomer. After the music world wooed him away from a finance career, and years spent being one of a handful of go-to singers in Los Angeles, Settineri established himself as an exceptional singer-songwriter in 2009 with his widely praised first studio album, “Stay” (LML Records). His second full studio album, “Beyond Your Control”, was released in 2014 and followed up by his most recent EP, “Be The One” in 2017.
Joe’s newest singles, “Hello Goodbye”, “Batman Cries”, and “Oxygen”, all collaborations with multi-platinum Nashville-based producer Mike Krompass (Smash Mouth, Nellie Furtado), are slated for release in summer 2018.
Joe lives in Los Angeles with his husband and two children.

I Need A Plastic Face – Debris
I Need a Plastic Face is a band from Turin (Italy). By the end of 2017, they set up a basement studio and buy an electric organ – a Farfisa Matador – and start to write the songs that will make their debut album “Knicks Knacks”, which was recorded and mixed in 48 hours.
The main influence comes from The Velvet Underground in terms of coexistence between dissonance and pop harmonies; but it can indeed be found the relevance of electronic music, shoegaze and noise rock.
They are willing to express a precise identity, which is suggested by the space in which their first rehearsals take place, especially at night.
