About Us



#MOREMUSICLESSNOISE is the frontline defence of the music we hold dear.

 ‘#MOREMUSICLESSNOISE‘ is the event that does exactly what it says on the tin.

In a time where many die hard, ‘real music’ fans are struggling to find genuine talent and well crafted artistry in the saturated mess that is the 21st century music industry, #MMLN offers a glimmer of hope.

Staying true to our Less is More ethos, the night follows a simple format:

Upon arrival guests are treated to a tribute to a music legend, played by a top DJ. We’ve already paid homage to the likes of Hip Hop legend J Dilla, and Ballad Queen Whitney Houston; and as we believe in celebrating people while they are still alive, artists such as D’Angelo, and Lauryn Hill, have also been celebrated.

Following this our live segment begins. We handpick the best unsigned talent from all genres that the UK has to offer, accompanied by an acoustic or full live band. The #MMLN alumni includes MOBO winning artist Rachel Kerr, former X Factor hopeful Leanne Robinson, sublime wordsmith G.R.E.Ed.S as well as the enchanting Nadine Charles.

To finish the night, our DJ jumps back on to the turntables so you can party with your friends and the star performers, to all our classic and current favourites.

TAWIAH

Like many of the chart-topping elite, Tawiah is a graduate of the Brit School, having the likes of Adele and Leona Lewis amongst her contemporaries. Her voice has long been admired by an upper echelon of artists like Mark Ronson, Corinne Bailey Rae, Cee Lo Green, and Gilles Peterson. With an new album in the works following her 2008 debut EP ‘In Jodi’s Bedroom” and  last summer’s “Freedom Drop”; she’s sure to blow us all away with her special sound.

 
NICK BREWER

Island Record’s latest signee, Nick Brewer, has caused quite a stir since leaving university a few years ago. Finding himself squeezed into jobs which sapped his soul, he turned to pouring his experiences into music, the results are gathered on his latest EP ‘Flat 10′ and have culminated in his recent inking of a major deal and a coinciding sold out headline show. The East Londoner joins us to give us a dose of suave & sophisticated Hip Hop.

WILSON

With vocals unlike any other, Wilson has steadily built up a buzz of anticipation throughout the London circuit. Inspiration by an eclectic fuse of soul, folk and jazz combined with passionate musicianship has given Wilson leverage into setting himself apart from the rest! A follow up EP to his well received debut “Painted on Silence” on the horizon, this soulful crooner is definitely one to watch.

RUKHSANA MERRISE

Introducing West London native Rukhsana Merrise. Influenced by the likes of Kren Carpenter, Dinah Washington, Fleetwood Mac, & Marvin Gaye, the experimental soul artist has pricked the attention of many following offerings like ‘Tears Of Freedom‘ and collaborative efforts with Incisive & YJ. Currently working on her concept EP ’Conversations With Becks’, we’re convinced that we can expect great things from Rukhsana.
