Shadeemus

The psychedelic alt soul group SHADEEMUS, has its roots firmly planted in humble beginnings when original members Scott Xylo (Shaquille Thompson) and Adeemus (Adam Martin) met whilst working together in a Leicester coffee shop. Over the last drops of cappuccinos and their shared love of psychedelic rock, January 2020 saw the creation of a pretty tasty fusion – SHADEEMUS. The band added their third member, Demigosh (Ade Balogun)an Irish Nigerian vocalist and performance artist, in February 2020 after meeting at a gig in November 2019. The addition of vocals from DemiGosh alongside Xylo’s sampling & bass with Adeemus on guitar has created a harmonious blend of alternative psychedelic rock, funk and soul, which birthed their debut single "Desert Days". After a total of 2 days, the group created their Dune inspired debut EP Arakis setting the story to follow. The EP gained support from BBC Introducing, British Arts Council, BBC 1xtra and BBC Radio 1 following. In 2021, SHADEEMUS released three EP’s ‘ATLANTIS’ ‘EDEN ’and ‘SOLARIS’. All three have seen support from Spotify’s New Music Friday & Worldwide FM’s Rotations playlist. Further nods from Jamz Supernova via BBC 6 music, Majestic Cassual, Jazz FM and NTS.
