Cromby’s career is on a steep upward trajectory, the Irish DJ and producer who now calls Berlin home, has played at major clubs and festivals all over the world including esteemed venues like Robert Johnson, The Warehouse Project, Fabric & Boiler Room. Becoming a regular at Panorama Bar, Cromby was invited to do the infamous closing slot which he did with an immense 11 hour set back in December 2019, returning again this year for more. Cutting his teeth holding down a six year residency at the legendary Shine in Belfast, Crombys first record came out in 2012 on New Yorks The Love Revolution. Then came two releases on Berlins Tenderpark and a relocation to Berlin via London. 2018 and 2019 proved to be breakthrough years in his career, seeing him release on three groundbreaking labels; Sulta Selects Silver Service, Feel My Bicep & Unknown To The Unknown. 2020 is set to be even bigger with Cromby embarking on tours of Australia, Asia and the Americas. With two more EPs already signed to respected labels, its more than safe to say he is one to watch.

Taking their name from a line in Hooray For Hollywood — inspired by the song’s jarring use in Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye — Any Young Mechanic bring an aptly cinematic quality to their music. The Tarntanya/Adelaide-based five-piece are redefining contemporary folk through narrative-driven songwriting and vivid, widescreen arrangements. Before ever officially releasing music, they have already started building a reputation on the road, turning heads with striking festival appearances at Reading & Leeds and Rock en Seine over the past year, and are set to return to touring throughout the year ahead. Drawing on classical training, the city’s tight-knit DIY music scene, and modern UK experimental influences, they craft immersive songs built from criss-crossing rhythmic paths, melodic alleys and lyrical highways. Capturing the immediacy and energy of musicians performing together, Any Young Mechanic balance folk’s enduring charm with bold, live acoustic instrumentation and a sharp, contemporary edge, creating music that feels intimate, expansive, and subtly different with every listen.
