Fopp - The Re-birth of Cool

Born in Glasgow in 1981 and bringing its independent spirit to the HMV group since they saved them from closure in 2007, Fopp continues to provide the UK’s discerning stuff-lovers with one of the most unique shopping environments on the high street. With sites in 8 key locations the length and breadth of the British Isles and each with it’s own very unique feel, Fopp stores thrive on the cool and quirky - and always at a price that’s hard to beat. From long-lost album gems and cult cinema classics through to the latest books and Apple technology it’s hard to leave a Fopp store without a fabulous bargain and that magical feeling that you’ve rediscovering a high-street world you only thought still existed within the fiction of Nick Hornby. Get more than you bargained for, get the stuff you love for less, get to Fopp.

Last.fm is a music service that learns what you love...

Every track you play will tell your Last.fm profile something about what you like. It can connect you to other people who like what you like - and recommend songs from their music collections and yours too.

…and as you use Last.fm, you make it better for you and everyone else.

When you recommend some music to a friend, or you tag it, or you write about it - even just listening to it - you shift the song's importance on the site. It'll be recommended to different people, because you've listened to it. It'll move up our music charts and maybe more people will hear it because you thought it was good.

How it all started…

Back in the 20th Century, Felix Miller and Martin Stiksel were running an online record label whose mission was to get independent music out to the people who wanted to hear it. A few years later, university student Richard Jones started tracking what he and his friends were listening to on their computers with a project he called Audioscrobbler. Last.fm brought these ideas and desires together. Luckily, these days it's about letting people choose the music themselves - rather than subjecting the world to Felix's music taste (or we'd all be listening to Elvis and Japanese surf garage). Last.fm has always been about making music culture more democratic: everyone listening to music how they want to, when they want to. Without a middle man making your decisions for you.

Radio Magnetic is one of the longest running underground online radio stations in the UK and has recently joined forces with Hinterland to bring you some up front coverage of the festival. Radio Magnetic has been broadcasting fresh contemporary electronic, indie, hip hop and roots music for the past eight years with presented shows, DJ mixes, live sessions, competitions and current contributors including Fabric London, Mad Decent, Jim Gellatly, Electronic Explorations, Little Rock Records, and a host of other taste makers from around the UK.

Keep locked on the Radio Magnetic site for previews of Hinterland featuring interviews and tracks from some of the bands playing at the festival. There'll also be chances to win tickets and live coverage after the events so that you can listen back to your favourite acts and relive the live experience.

Rockfeedback.TV has just finished the third series of their globally-shot music documentary 'Rockfeedback Presents' for MTV Europe and Channel 4. Proud to be partnering Hinterland in their inaugural year, be sure to drop by rockfeedback.tv for coverage of both the festival's highlights and more intimate moments.

We are very proud to announce The List will be joining Hinterland as a media partner at this year's event.

As the authoritative guide to culture in Scotland, The List has been lending its support to artists in the early stages of their career and championing contemporary music emerging from Scotland for 20 years.

The List say they are "proud to be associated with Hinterland and are looking forward to a weekend dedicated to our shared passion: Good music."

The Daily Record is Scotland’s most recognised and iconic media brand.

Together with The Sunday Mail they reach 1.7 million adults which represents a massive 41% coverage of the Scottish population!

The Daily Record are all about Scotland and have been instrumental in building the success of many other Scottish music events over the years including T In The Park and Connect festivals.  Always fully supportive of new music from Scotland, they have brought bands such as Biffy Clyro, The View, Glasvegas and The Fratellis to the fore with live sessions, editorial and podcasts.
