Heavenphetamine

HEAVENPHETAMINE is a story told through sound Heavenphetamine is a duo of Hiroki and Sara, blending Psychedelic Rock, Experimental, Post Punk, Progressive Rock, Trip Hop, and Acid House into a sound that’s uniquely theirs. Intricate synth loops, live drumming, and melodic Japanese
vocals shape their sonic identity.

After releasing two Post Punk EPs and relocating to Tbilisi, they formed a deep connection with Ukraine, playing a defining show in Kyiv just before the war. Following the invasion, they embarked on a charity tour across Europe and later recorded an album in Kyiv amidst air raids and blackouts.
In 2024, they released The Sun On A Winter Day under the Ukrainian label
Kontrabass Promo.

[s l a b ]

[ s l a b ] are Lianne (drums) Paul (bass/vocals) and Tom (guitar/vocals). Formed in Manchester in 2019, their debut album Taut was self-released in March 2025 and immediately received Album of the Week in John Robb’s music website, Louder Than War, giving it 5 stars and later went on to be number 8 in their top 100 albums of 2025. The trio’s cinematic, emotive dynamics and melodic hooks have seen them categorised as post-rock, shoegaze and indie but in fact, the sound of [ s l a b ] is entirely and uniquely a product of the band’s chemistry. 

Therapy? frontman Andy Cairns picked Taut as one of his albums of the 2026, stating it is “a near perfect a collection of tracks as can be and very, very highly recommended” and much beloved music website, Sun13 said the album is “one of those moments that makes you realise why new music conquers all”. 

The band have built a dedicated following through support slots with the likes House of All, Billy Mahonie, JAAW, Hey Colossus and Smote. Guy Garvey has called the band one of his “favourite power trios” after playing debut EP Ready For the Light on his BBC 6 Music show and Andy Cairns (Therapy?) claimed the track is “a masterpiece.”
