5 Artists You Need To Check Out This Month - February

At Data Transmission we’re firm believers that the essence of the beautiful is unity in variety and in that variety we always look to broaden our horizons with new music, DJs & parties!

Starting today, each month, we are asking our staff, writers & contributors to look ahead at the coming months events and look a little beyond the obvious headline acts to find some interesting, new and exciting DJs, that you must check out and get on your radar.

This month Anna Wall picks her 5 for February.

Ireland’s finest export, this lady has stormed into 2017 with guns a-blazing. Over the years she’s built up an impressive reputation on the London circuit and the world is now taking note.

Spinning rare B-sides and wax that you’ll have never heard but guaranteed to love, prepare to be kept on your toes.

CHELOU

If there’s one live act you should be keeping your ears on this year it’s Chelou. His latest single produced by the almighty Maya Jane Coles has gone viral, with over 4.5 million streams worldwide. His last few shows have been sell-outs, and this month he returns to play a very intimate show at Birthday’s in London. Be prepared to fall in love with his charm, elegant songwriting and beautiful acoustic melodies.

With an interest in everything from deep grooves to melodic hip-hop; Timnah’s got the knowledge.
