"Alfie has a knack for taking the anthemic qualities of indie-pop and injecting them with pure, danceable funk."
DIY

Retaining the effortless, sunshine-drenched feel of his first record MellowMoon – which won praise for its breezy creativity from The Guardian, NME, The Line of Best Fit and more – Alfie Templeman’s second album Radiosoul pushes his songcraft further in every direction. Featuring collaborations with legendary producers including Nile Rodgers and Dan Carey, it’s a fitting leap forward for a mind-bogglingly gifted young musician who, at only 21, can only be described as a bonafide polymath.

Radiosoul pinballs around all of the transition, change and plurality of the end of adolescence. It’s about hating social media, feeling knackered by touring, learning to deal with anxiety and panic attacks, and moving out of your parents’ house – all while you’re also still trying to figure yourself out.

Just turned 21 years old, almost entirely self-taught as a producer and musician (playing eleven instruments) and with over 300,000,000 streams worldwide and touring sold-out dates across UK, Europe, Japan, Australia & USA during 2022, Alfie Templeman's global appeal is growing every day.  Alfie has also collaborated with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Todd Rundgren on his recent album “Space Force”, Dom Valentino, Anna of the North and Boy Pablo’s producer Bob Junior on their recent outputs and co-wrote and produced the worldwide breakout track “Dizzy” by Chloe Moriondo. Fresh, bold, youthful and inventive. Alfie Templeman sees a sometimes grey world in vibrant technicolour.

DOLPHIN LOVE

A broad, endless space. It's sunny, nothing far and wide. From a distance, you can hear music coming closer and closer. This is not only the beginning of the short film for Dolphin Love's latest EP ‘Who Speaks Your Mind’, but also a good description of his music. The debut EP ‘999’, which introduces the (sound) world of Dolphin Love, was released in 2022. A world full of extremes and contrasts.

"I love it when it's loud and ecstatic, but on the other hand I need silence and nothingness to create new things," says Dolphin Love. Both EPs were created alone in their home studio - from recording all the instruments to the final mix. It always starts with the mood and the instrumental idea, the rest follows naturally. In terms of production, he comes from hip hop, but the guitar is still in the foreground, sometimes even more than the voice, which is treated more like another element. ‘I'm always trying to challenge myself and break new ground in my production style.
