IVW: Saffron from Republica + Beautiful Mechanica

Saffron (Republica)

Saffron from Republica solo set - A mix of Republica hits, punk covers and new songs.

Lead singer of Republica, an English alternative rock band formed in 1994. The height of their popularity spanned from 1996 to 1999. Since then, Saffron has built up huge credibility working with everyone from The Prodigy, Carl Cox, Robert Smith from The Cure and Jeff Beck building up an impressive catalogue of collaborations.

To describe beautiful mechanica's music, one need look no further than the name. Fusing synthesis and electronica with beauty and dark romanticism, the desire to inspire and effect emotion is the impetus for the band.
beautiful mechanica are resolute in being unaffected by the sounds and styles of any given time - be it now or the past. Whilst those who love the electronica of new wave and the new romantics will find much to feel at home with, the songs are as contemporary as they revivalist - the ambition being only that each is as unique and affecting as possible.
