Global Soul x ILUVLIVE Monthly Residency -
This month in partnership with Acoustickle
Live music event representing original jazz, soul, RnB, hip hop and poetry artists from the UK. Established 2009 in Nottingham, we have a track record of being ‘thee spot’ to discover up and coming artists, all in a decorated room with flowers and candles. Acoustickle was the first live performance of Jake Bugg, Yazmin Lacey, MELONYX and the first Notts show for Akua Naru, Tiana Major9, Jaz Karis and more.
Jazzie Martian
Nottingham-born he is carving out his own lane with a vivid, genre-fluid sound that blends alternative R&B, rap, and soulful storytelling. Shaped by a spiritually rich Caribbean upbringing and a well-travelled maturity, his music explores the layered everyday musings of a curious young man navigating love, ambition, self-discovery, and growth. Balancing crisp harmonies with effortless wordplay, Jazzie glides between genres to create music that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Inspired by the raw honesty of artists like Amy Winehouse and Gil Scott-Heron, Jazzie’s sound pushes beyond traditional boundaries — weaving atmospheric production, soulful melodies, and emotionally grounded narratives into every release. His breakout moment came in 2022 when he won the American Express Gold.
Unsigned competition with his single Future, leading to major opportunities including soundtracking an Amazon campaign and performances at Wilderness Festival and All Points East.
As his artistry continues to evolve, Jazzie uses music as a living document of his journey — capturing both the struggles and beauty within them. With every track, he invites listeners deeper into his world: one built on substance, emotion, spirituality, and fearless creative exploration.
THEO
London-based Irish artist THEO makes pop-soul with attitude - like if La Roux, Jungle and Paloma Faith had a baby. Verified by a PRS Women Make Music award, BBC Introducing, Ireland Music Week and developed by Grammy-winning producer Naughty Boy (Beyoncé, Sam Smith) & Lloyd Hinshelwood (Izzy Bizu, Maribou State, Mabel), THEO has built a fast-growing community through fan-led activations and storytelling - her confused Irish Catholic upbringing, navigating her 20s in London, safe spaces for the anxious girlies.
Her upcoming single ‘Feels Like a Remedy’ is disco-coded and made to move - a lairy, sassy anthem about letting go of what no longer serves you. Written after lingering too long on a painful breakup, it's about the push & pull of short-term gratification: "feels like a remedy, but you're no good for me." One repetitive, euphoric hook, live drums locked with a funk bassline, brass stabs and warm keys. Produced with Lloyd Hinshelwood. This single marks a new era - THEO's sound has evolved from her earlier R&B releases into commercial pop-soul, and this is the first release of that world.
