Maud Geffray’s ‘Polaar’ is a Nocturnal Voyage
Maud Geffray may already be familiar to fans of the Parisian group Scratch Massive but as a solo artist she is proving that she is an entity on to herself.

If there is one group here to shake things up in music it's London's Girls In Synthesis.

The band's energy hit like the impact of a bullet train at full speed with much of it properly translated at their live shows. After all, it isn't uncommon to see some of the members jumping into the crowd whilst playing. With the current political climate of the world seeming to spiral into a frenzy, the sound of Girls In Synthesis couldn't be needed more to cut through the current fluff floating about.

Artistry oozes from the pores of St. Petersburg-born, Germany-raised Victoria Trunova.

Factor in KOY's angelic vocals and what you have is an absolutely brilliant first offering from the singer and musician. If this is a taste of what's to come then we can hardly wait for her next delivery. 'Heat' is out now. Check it out.
