Koreless
Koreless' talent lies in his ability to make the abstract make sense. His album Agor is full of ambient, electronic and 8-bit sounds - but yet it manages not to sound like any of those. An exciting artist.

Dauwd
It would be difficult for one to listen to Idris without a tapping a foot or bopping a head. One to remember by the Llandrillo man.

Jina
It's difficult to find more information about Jina than the few songs by her that are available online, but it's enough when Dagrau Ar Lun is one of those songs. Search for it if you want the sound of the notable synths & accompanying heart-pain lyrics of the 80s.
​
Jamie Jones
One of the biggest names in the electronic music world - the Caernarfon superstar can be seen at the world's biggest festivals and clubs. And when he's not doing that, he's leaking Wales' football shirts.
​
Elkka
Elkka continues to make her output essential listening, be it through her own original tracks, or via releases from her label femme culture. Annually, the label releases a compilation album HeForShe by various artists, and raises money for charity whilst doing so.
