The disco/techno heat of Perel’s releases on LCD Soundsystem’s DFA label are matched by her genuinely thrilling DJ Sets. Drawing on her early love for brooding New Wave and Post-Punk, she’s made seminal records on Running Back and Kompakt too. Berlin House Zenner, and closing sets at Sonar Barcelona and its Lisbon edition. She’s known to play Koko and Berghain’s Panorama Bar, and supported the Chemical Brothers.

For as long as she can remember, Annegret Fiedler has created electronic melodies to soundtrack her daydreams. Drawing on her early love for brooding New Wave and Post-Punk, she became Perel, an electronic producer, vocalist and DJ who spent much of the 2010s shaping her sound – and to just praise. As well as being the first German artist to sign to James Murphy’s seminal dance-punk label DFA Records, Perel has performed internationally as a live act and DJ, from the floors of throbbing techno clubs to major city festivals.

Growing up in the East German state of Saxony, she learned how to write and produce songs, inspired by Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk and The Cure, among others. Later drawn to Berlin and its underground club scene, she took on the persona of Perel, writing, producing and singing on solo material for labels like Running Back, Uncanny Valley, Kompakt and Permanent Vacation. In an ever-evolving club scene with myriad faces, Perel stood out by singing over her DJ sets, bridging the mood of her own live sound with her selections.

Perel’s live performances and DJ shows are a testament to her captivating stage presence and musical versatility. Highlights include performances at Outside Lands in San Francisco, her first hard ticket selling show in Berlin House Zenner, and closing sets at Sonar Barcelona and its Lisbon edition. She has also graced stages at Nation Of Gondwana, Fusion Festival, Koko, and the renowned Panorama Bar / Berghain, as well as support to the Chemical Brothers.

Now with a raft of new music out in 2025 and a recent move to Los Angeles she continues to evolve her timeless Neosynth to enjoy as the sun sets over the horizon and the freaks come out to play.

Naarm/Melbourne songwriter, Winter McQuinn explores country and folk, imbued by psychedelia with a contemporary edge.

UK’s Shindig Magazine best-described McQuinn’s music as “pollinated with dashes of 21st Century environmentalism and political awareness. ” His music ripples with free-ness similar to revered 1960s/70s artists such as Nick Drake and Syd Barrett, and contemporary artists such as Kate Bollinger, Tex Crick and Alex Izenberg. McQuinn’s 2021 debut album ‘A Rabble Of Bees’ marked the beginning of his solo wanderings into psychedelic outsider pop. His 2024 sophomore album ‘Move To The Trees’ (featured in Rolling Stone AU and KEXP’s ‘Best Of’ lists for 2024), saw McQuinn honing his craft with a series of anthems for the future, settled in post-psych folk and 70s soft rock energy.

The end of 2024 saw McQuinn release a co-written EP ‘Recently I’ve Been Missing The Colour Green’ with Acacia Pip (Pinch Points) which was described as “collection of 6 pastoral, slacker folk gems” by Shindig Magazine (UK), and lead to tours in Australia, Europe and the UK. McQuinn has also begun releasing music with a new duo project Beefheart and McQuinn with UK Artist Moby Beefheart (aka William Murray from outfit FUR). Most recently, following stellar singles “Walkin’ Through That Door”, “Always Looking” and “Growing Old”

McQuinn shared his third and most ambitious album yet, Where Are We Now?, out now via Third Eye Stimuli Records (AU) and Born Losers Records (North America). The album has since received acclaim in Rolling Stone, Stereogum, 3RRR and many others, also reaching #16 on the AIR Charts and added to rotation on Double J and saw McQuinn support notable artists including Sylvie (US), Kacy & Clayton (CAN), Sonny & The Sunsets (US), Leah Senior, Bures Band, Nice Biscuit, Joe Ghatt (NZ). This album was described as his “most sophisticated record yet” and features collaborations with Dylan Young (Way Dynamic), Hot Apple Band, Feign Jima and many more.

For our April edition of Agora, we welcome longtime resident and Scottish techno wonderkid LWS to Sneaky Pete’s for an all-night-long affair.

LWS has been making serious moves in the UK techno scene with recent releases on standout labels such as TraTraTrax and can you feel the sun. His now singular sound is instantly recognisable and his tracks have become staples in the sets of key DJs such as Ben UFO, Call Super and Verraco.

As a DJ, LWS holds an ‘anything goes’ attitude, blending seamlessly between genres and basing his selections purely from the energy in the room. Off the back of recent sets in London, Oslo, Tisno and beyond, LWS’ calendar has been steadily getting busier as time goes on — Come and find out why!

Breezy and charming, Carpool Tunnel have a sound that feels both unmistakably modern and grounded in the spirit of Bay Area indie rock.

Our April installment sees us team up with local legends Untitled as we bring Baron Von Trax over from Australia for his Scottish return. Having played shows all over the world to collaborating with some of the best in the game, we’re buzzing to have him in the Sneaks booth bringing his distinctive trance yet disco flavoured grooves.

On support, a b2b from BORLEY and OFFGRID as well as a return to Borley Room for our good friends PASO.

London’s favourite open mic night is landing in Edinburgh for the very first time.

After building a thriving community in London and expanding into Birmingham and Bristol, Tracks On Tap now takes its next step – connecting England to Scotland and bringing our platform to a brand new city. Edinburgh, we’re excited to tap in.

Expect a powerful line-up of artists from both London and Edinburgh, coming together to bridge scenes, share sounds, and create something real. From rap, hip hop, R&B and grime to more alternative styles – this is about expression, discovery and community.

Whether you’re an artist or a supporter, this is a space for everyone.

? Open Mic – first come, first served. Come early and get involved.
? Cypher – open to all. No sign-up needed. Step in, or take it in.

These moments are at the heart of Tracks On Tap – where new talent is discovered, confidence is built, and genuine connections are made.

Since 2019, Tracks On Tap has grown into one of the UK’s leading grassroots music communities – hosting hundreds of live events, performing at major stages including the Youth Music Awards and the National Theatre, and building a platform that has supported the next generation of artists. With national radio support, press features including GQ, and a #1 UK iTunes Hip Hop album, the movement continues to grow – and now, it reaches Edinburgh.

This isn’t just a show – it’s a chance to be part of something from the ground up.

Line-up announcements and updates will be shared via Instagram: @tracksontap
