Excited to be welcoming back Ollie Dixon after a successful sell out tour earlier this year - for those that missed out last time - you are in for a treat. Ollie is known for blending atmospheric reverb and warm, delayed tones, crafting a sound that is unique and unmistakably his own. Ollie Dixon - in his own words on the creation of his latest single Solace Its genre that we call "cinematic ambient folk" blending our acoustic and electric guitars, drenched in reverb, with drum samples rather than conventional drums, layers of violins and arpeggiated synths. Its a whole new direction for me personally but a path I've been wanting to explore for a while. Solace is the next release of the upcoming EP, Rebirth. Written about finding calm in the chaos, an almost meditative song. I was surfing on the north coast of Cornwall after going through a really rough two year period, with extreme burnout, stress, anxiety, you name it I had it.. I caught a wave and fell.. Getting sucked under I couldn't get back up but whilst being thrown around by the wave, I went from panic to a sense of calm..It was weirdly peaceful under the water once you stop, relax and go with the flow.. for the first time in 2 years I felt a sense of peace, watching the waves crash over head, beads of light shimmering through. Once I came to the surface (probably 30 seconds or less later, it felt like 5 minutes) I chased that same feeling, hoping to fall off and experience it again, but I never did. Or have. Solace was that experience for me, learning to find calm and peaceful moments in the chaos of life, Learning to deal with my thoughts and feelings in a healthier way. Knowing that each day there are moments of peace and clarity, we just have to stop and notice it. Ollie Dixon's is musical escapism in its purest form. Akin to the likes of Ben Howard, his sea-washed roots play a pivotal part in his melancholy yet atmospheric and soul-bearing storytelling. Without a doubt, one of the South-Wests stand out artists Daniel Pascoe - BBC Music Introducing in the South West Ollie Dixon will be joined by Sheffield based Phoebe Niamh. Welsh musician Phoebe Niamh is an experimental multi-instrumentalist based in Sheffield. Captivated by the soundworlds of the harp, Phoebe trained in contemporary, folk and classical styles. She delves into free improvisation on the harp that is influenced by her upbringing surrounded by nature in North Wales. Her self-produced debut solo EP Serendipity is a collection of harp improvisations with electronics. Creating dreamy soundscapes influenced by the sounds of shoegaze, ambient music and minimalism, Phoebe uses her harp and effects pedals to enchant listeners and live audiences.
