Empathy Test and Lakeside X

Empathy Test, formed in London in 2013 by Isaac Howlett and Adam Relf, is known for its dramatic synth-pop sound, drawing comparisons to Depeche Mode. Popular tracks include "Losing Touch." They've released three albums: "Losing Touch," "Safe From Harm," and "Monsters," and have gained a global fanbase through self-production. Highlighted by Vice, MTV, and Netflix, and praised by icons like Boy George, they tour with David Leisser and Nadine Green.

Lakeside X, from Prague, blends synth-pop, electronic, and British rock. Known for their unique sound and Janne Marvannen's voice, they explore themes of loneliness and love. After a 10-year break, they reunited, collaborating with Daniel Myer. Noteworthy tracks include "Fire In The Sky." They’ve supported Depeche Mode and toured worldwide, including in Europe and the USA.
