Bryde Live in Session

Bryde is that rarest of talents - a truly gifted songwriter and vocalist whose performances demand you sit up and take notice. In this Selector Session, the Welsh songstress graces us with two intimate versions of tracks from her debut album, Like An Island.

Mellah Live in Session

How many singer songwriters do you know that have made props and produced music for Black Mirror? Well, Mellah is a rare breed. The multi-instrumentalist produced a knockout session for us at the Selector studios, performing two tracks, 'What It Is' and the coruscating 'Cigarette Lighter' which lyrically dissects the opinion wars and political divides played out daily on social media. Once you're done with the session, check out his wonderful Middle England EP.

The Orielles Live in Session

The Orielles hail from West Yorkshire and are the champions of an evolving, psychedelic indie sound. In session for us in London, here they can be heard perfoming songs from their 2018 debut album Silver Dollar Moment and they share their insights and wisdom!

Hak Baker Live in Session

Hak Baker grew up on the Isle of Dogs in London and as one of nine children. In music, Baker's unique blend of grime and reggae has seen his collaborate with The Streets. In 2022, he performed at Glastonbury for the first time. Here, you can find him in conversation with Selector and performing Thirsty Thursday and Gallizionaire.
